Quick little update

I was just talking to a friend on the phone and she asked if I had a blog. And I said that I did, but that I'm bad about posting things. So that was the proverbial kick-in-the-butt reminder to actually add to my haphazard collection of blog posts. I'd just like to say that I really do have the intentions and desires to keep up with this, but I'm kinda bad at the following through part. But, you know what they say: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions..."

That being said, here's a little taste of what life looks like for me right now...

Work
I work 8:30 to 5:30 most days, unless call volume is really low, and then sometimes I get to go home early. That is usually one of my favorite surprises from my supervisor. I can usually guess when she is about to ask me if I'd be okay with leaving, and I start to get really excited...and then I immediately log off of my phone so that I don't get a call right when I'm trying to leave.

I also started taking Spanish calls at the end of last week, so this was my first full week being in the Spanish queues. It's been interesting for sure. I'm afraid that I seem like an uneducated person a lot of times, just because I jumble my words, go tongue-tied, and get ahead of myself quite a bit. Plus I have this weird mix of accent that nobody can place. I blame Andalucians for teaching me to "comer las palabras". As it turns out though, the more I practice, the better the calls go. I'm hoping I continue to improve.

Sports
I joined the a local Ultimate Frisbee club for Summer League this year so for the last little while I've been learning about and playing Ultimate with some pretty great people. I'm far from perfect, but I'm slowly learning how ultimate offense and defense is works and how to execute plays correctly. Granted, the main part of ultimate that involves the actual throwing and catching of the disc, isn't my strong suit, but I like to think I'm working on that as well.

Travel
Besides relocating once to NW Arkansas this summer, I've also travelled back to Greality to see Keith Urban (OMG, yessssss!) and drag my belongings to AR, gone to St. Louis for the first time ever and eaten the best Spanish food that I've been able to find this side of the Mississippi (think albóndigas, paella, jamón serrano, aceitunas, etc), and moved all of my possessions (again) to Springdale. Next in store: another trip back to northern Colorado in order to visit a friend from Spain!!!!! I know it seems kinda silly to be going back home....again...for a three day weekend this time (but still!). The way I look at it, I don't know when I'll be able to see any of my Spanish friends again, and let's be honest, 800 miles through one country is a heck of a lot easier to arrange than travel over however many thousands of miles it would take to get back to my favorite peninsula.
I think I'll take this opportunity and run with it, thank you very much!



Hopefully I'll add something of a little more interest soon.

...don't hold your breath, though, kay?
