"Je sais pourquoi on m´appelle Mademoiselle Bonne Chance"

My interviews were amazing and I´m going to the south on June 30th!!! Sorry for not posting a lot recently, let´s just say that I have been extremely busy lately. I went to Andalucia last weekend, to attend 2 job interviews...and in the end everything went extremely well and both companies wanted me to work for them. I´ve already made my choice; I´m going to be working with Covent Garden, where the pay is much better and the hours are a dream. :) I hope that I´ve made the right choice :)
The south seemed so much different from the north. I immediately sensed that people were friendlier; my God, the taxi drivers were sooo nice to me! They wanted to give me a tour and everything :P Also, everything was a whole lot cheaper, and the heat was incredible (of course). Huelva has so many palm trees, ooooh the south. I´ll probably die in August (when I get back from Oz and Germany) but I am excited for the change.
It´s great that my former student Ana is now living there as well. We met up with a few of her friends and went to the beach, which was nice...still have to go to Punta Umbria though, the most popular beach :P
I´ve already found a nice apartment in Huelva, and Carmen seemed genuinely nice and very open, which is a must for me. The place was really new and nice...hopefully the third time will be the charm! I´m so sick of having bad roommates...I want to come home and feel at ease, and not just talk to my cat!
The only thing is that the apartment is kinda far from my future work, so hopefully I can get myself a cheap bike or something...we´ll see.
The intensive courses have now already started, and boy are they ever making me tired...but they are good students who participate a lot in class. I try to make them laugh now and then, because I know that for elementary students everything can seem so difficult.
Half of my luggage is already in Huelva. That´s good...hopefully Lucy won´t die from the long journey to the south...it´ll be 7 hours by train! Well, she made it by plane, so she can make it by train, right?
Oh, Lucy knoo, thank God I brought you, it´s amazing how cats can calm the nerves or make you want to come home sometimes (especially when the roommates are lazy idiots who spend their entire day watching television).
Well, that´s all for me right now, love you all, xoxoxoxoox
