I decided to try my luck with the whole “video blogging” thing and so I made this video to let everyone know that my visa has “officially” been granted and now I’m one step closer to going to Spain in September. It’s probably not the best video on the internet… but hey, it’s my first attempt. Continue reading this post…

Well, today I finally got my “official” letter which contained the information that I needed to apply for my visa to study abroad. More importantly, this letter contained my “official” placement for the scholarship: I found out that I am going to be going to the city of Burgos, Spain (see the map above). I was quite excited to get the letter and know once and for all where exactly in Spain I’m going. Continue reading this post…
The next step in preparing for the scholarship that I have been awarded is to apply for a Student Visa to go to Spain. I have studied abroad in Spain before so this is actually the second time that I have had to apply for a Student Visa.

As my loyal readers know, I have been awarded the scholarship and I will be going to the “Castilla y León” region of Spain this coming September to teach English for one year. As I see it, I now have three big goals that I need to accomplish this summer to prepare for my departure. Continue reading this post…
It’s been a few days since I was notified that I won a scholarship to go to Spain, and now that I’ve had time to let it “sink in,” I thought I’d write a short post to let everyone know my deepest, innermost thoughts (well, not really that deep). As you can see from the “thumbs-up” picture of me above, the first thing that comes to mind when I think about the scholarship is GOOOOOOOD GOING!!!! Continue reading this post… |
