just to add a bit of color...



Two weekends ago, I was working diligently to finish up my last paper for grad school. And as I do, when I'm in the middle of something important, I decided to bake something. I don't know...I guess it de-stresses me. Anyhoodle, I baked up some ricotta strawberry cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and sprinkles. And, because it was sunny and hot out, I decided to make some potato salad as well. And check out the little potato that was in my potato bag!!!!!! An almost perfect heart....and really I DO love my carbs :)

Both the cupcakes and the potato salad were delicious AND I finished my paper that earned me an A+- see baking works!!

A new look and part 2 school trip

Image
I updated the blog look this morning...do we like? It looks a wee bit more professional, I think, but still...I'm so unsavvy that I can't figure out how to change the "About Me" part as obviously I'm no longer 40 and no longer in Czech Republic... Ah well. Here's what you really came for- the second part of the Guarija trip photos!! Let me know what you think of the new look. And maybe, just maybe, I'll keep up my goal of blogging everyday...

New School Year- New Country

Image
Hello my 4 followers (Mom & Dad, I see you!!)...I'm back 😀 And in a brand new country! After living in Europe for almost 8 years, it was time to change things up again and experience a new culture and language. So, I decided to pack up and move to South America. Colombia, to be exact. Back in October/ November 2018, I started talking with the Head of Colegio Colombo Britanico in Cali, Colombia. Also, at the same time, I started the application process to become an English Language Fellow through the State Department. Think Peace Corps for Master teachers. The application process is pretty thorough and after several months and interviews, I was accepted into the pool of English Language Fellows. The next step was to wait to see if I would get a placement. About the time that I was waiting for a placement with ELF, I was offered a teaching position with Colegio Colombo Britanico. As I was weighing the pros and cons, and trying to block out all the negative nellies who we...

How is it May???!!!

Welp, it's May. How? How is that possible? Once again, I'm doing a crappy job of keeping this blog updated. I've never claimed to be a blogger. There is no real purpose to this blog- is it about travel? is it about teaching? is it about life? Who knows? Who cares??? I guess between Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and life...my blog gets the short end of the stick. But there are people (ahem, my parents) who only see things on this blog, so I'm going to try over the next month to make this more of a space to write and reflect and share. I've said this before. We'll see if I keep it up- chances are slim. Anyhoodle... So much has happened ...sort of. I'm  to be real honest- the first 6 months living in Colombia sucked. Teaching sucked. The students sucked. The weather sucked. Life outside of teaching sucked. I almost didn't return after Christmas break. For real. At the airport in Denver, I sat in the bathroom when they were maki...
