24 years old today. What's so special about turning 24? Three years since I could legally drink, one year away from getting a discount on rental cars. At least 16 years away from hitting a midlife crisis (though bordering dangerously close to quarter ... Read more >

My job is stressful, no doubt about that. Any environment where you run the risk of getting punched in the face by patients is bound to leave your subconscious screaming out in suffering while you sleep. Despite the often hard to deny anxiety provoking ... Read more >

I've officially dubbed this summer the season of weddings. With 3 down and 3 more to go before the end of September, I'm finding myself feeling a little burnt out on wedding cake, toasts and yes, even wedding dancing is starting to bore me a little. Despite ... Read more >

I think I'm officially going through Spain withdrawals. Not only did I spend my entire afternoon watching terrible television programming on the Spanish channel, but I spent my 4th of July downing vodka and frescas. Not because I really had any interest ... Read more >

The day that seemed like it would never arrive is now here. After a blissful, event-filled three and half months away from my job I'll be returning to the psych unit at the hospital tomorrow. I can't deny that I'm looking forward to seeing familiar faces, ... Read more >

When you go into a bank/bakery etc, it's standard practice to ask 'Quien es la ultima?' Who needs a dryer when you have a washing line outside the window of your apartment? You are more likely to call your friends tio/a, nena, chaval, macho or even ... Read more >

I slept through my alarm, found myself with not enough time to see all of the sights I had yet to see in the city and didn't check my email in time to realize the actual hour of my flight. I found myself in the Spain airport without money to buy a return ... Read more >

My final European blogging session is taking place in Heathrow
Airport where I find myself opting to pay $10 for an hour of internet
rather than cram in a couple hours of sleep on one of the oh so comfy
wooden benches during my 5 hour layover. My ... Read more >

I officially have survived my first week back at work. Granted, it was a 2 day work week, but regardless I feel that the three day weekend I have in store is more than deserved. I spent my two days of work sleeping in as late as possible in an attempt ... Read more >

Thursday morning I was awoken after 5 short hours of sleep by the

meet mi amiga, Ashley for a quick cup ... Read more >

My first week in Madrid left me longing for the cool ocean air of
Alicante and for the numerous friends I'd left behind. Throughout my
first weekend in this city I found myself seriously reconsidering my
plans to stay in Madrid for the following 8 ... Read more >

I've been devoting all of my creative energy into finishing off my
second journal of Spain and launching into my third and therefore

Just a quick post this May Day of 2008. I had plans to spend the day
with my amigas in Salamanca, but when I arrived at the bus station
there were no more tickets. Instead of traveling on a later bus by
myself I decided to see what May Day is all ... Read more >

My train from Alicante arrived in Madrid around 6pm last Saturday.
Decked out in capris and a t-shirt, I was greeted by gray skies that
threatened to burst any minute. Puddles of recently fallen rain were
everywhere and I was grateful that I´d already ... Read more >

The
older I've gotten the faster time seems to fly by and my month so far

Alicante and now I will be ... Read more >

It´s unbelievable how quickly the past week has flown by and even
harder to imagine that one week from now I will be settling into my new

struggled to overcome jetlag and adapt to ... Read more >
