back in don benito

All things considered, it could have been worse.

It wasn't easy to leave home -- it never is -- but at least I wasn't vomiting (like on the way there) or going back to a snowstorm (like my Canadian-bound friends).

The weather is actually, strangely, sort of...nice. I felt all cozy sauntering down the street in my new wool coat this afternoon -- a sensation replaced by sheepishness when the thermometer in the main square blinked 15 degrees at me. 15 degrees -- and I'm wearing gloves!

This weekend I am working diligently on what I expect will be my last graduate school application (of the 2008-09 round) and trying to get my act together for school. I have the perhaps misplaced hope that I will become more efficient at planning lessons...but so far the prep is sucking up as much time as ever.

Don't worry, I'll be back to my blogging ways soon enough.
