Just the other day I got together the last supporting documents I needed for my scholarship to go to Spain and I just mailed them out yesterday. Now, all I have to do is sit back, relax, and PRAY that they give me a scholarship. hehe I’m thinking that my chances are good, but I’ll keep you posted on my status. Continue reading this post…

Well, as my loyal readers know, I am currently working on an application for a scholarship which would allow me to go to Spain and teach English for one year. The application process is going nicely and I am collecting all of the supporting documents that I need, except for one little hiccup: The Apostille of The Hague. Continue reading this post…

This is due to the fact that, in order to hire an American, a company must deal with a lot of paperwork and prove that there is no other Spanish or EU Citizen as qualified for the job as the American – a daunting task. This, of course, means that if you’re from the USA like me, finding a job in Spain is probably going to be a little difficult at first. Continue reading this post…

Things in Spain go slow… about as slow as this snail. As I mentioned in my first post, I’m currently getting ready to apply for a scholarship from the Spanish Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia to go back to Spain and teach English. The scholarship application was supposed to be online by November; but, of course it’s not online yet. Continue reading this post…
