From Toledo, Spain
The holidays are *almost* over (they last until the 6th of January here), and I’m more than ready to get back to work. My goal of finishing a draft of one of my pre-qualifying papers while here is an important one for the progress toward my larger goals this year.
Yesterday I got excited about some interviews I can do here with policy makers and teachers, a kind of pilot project. Immigration is less of an issue in Castilla La Mancha, but it does exists, and I’m curious about the changes being made to the education system. Language courses? New tracks? These are just two of the most typical ones.
It’s going to be an incredibly busy spring, with finishing these two pre-qualifying papers, writing a dissertation proposal, studying for orals, and in the personal realm, two very dear (and local) girlfriends’ weddings. Not to mention planning a honeymoon for next summer (we still haven’t taken one!), and looking into buying a house.
The good thing about holidays is that I feel rested and ready to get to work again!

I’m really looking forward to hearing about your time in Spain and Germany and happy to hear that you’re feeling rested!
XOXO,
