School's out for summer

I can't believe the school year is already over, it flew by! I made cookie bars for the kids and staff and they surprised me with a bunch of cards and a photo book they put together. I was so touched and I'm so happy I'm coming back next year. 

So that's my big news-- I will be staying in Spain another year as an auxiliar de conversaicón and I will be staying at the same school in País Vasco. I'm excited to stay in this region and live in the same area. While I had originally thought about going to China next year, I ultimately decided to stay here another year. The last year was full of so much change and I think I need to continuity, if that makes any sense. So since I'm staying in Spain I've begun the process to renew my visa, which in theory isn't difficult, it's just long and patience testing as is any bureaucratic process.
