Inside Amey's Bubble: Chapter 1- Igualada

So it's been a while since I've arrived to Barcelona!

I made promises to keep in touch with everyone but it's sooooooo harrrrrrd (quoting Emily A. Hunkler). Whoever stereotyped the Spanish to be mellow and laid back is an absolute douchebag!

Barcelona is a stresshole! And I am aware that my spelling is an absolute atrocity, but what can I say! I need to express myself with my made up words! You get the gist! And if you don't.... Then imagine a rainbow.

Don't get me wrong, my experience has been amazing so far! I love the school that I'm working in, the kids, even though they all think I don't speak Spanish or Catalan (little do they know), I live in a flat slap bang down in the middle of Barcelona with a fun and witty girl called Helena who comes from the Hud (England) and a rather annoying Polish guy (that I love like my little brother) who is far too tall for our cozy little 4th floor flat (and no there aren't any freaking stairs! Our bums have become incredibly toned).

After weeks of constant bummage regarding The Guad (Igualada) from Emily, we, as in me and my lovely Helena Mapals, decided to finally pay our Guad Squad, (Duncan Playle, Chrissy Matunas, Christina Rodriguez and of course the beautiful Emily) a visit! And man oh man is it chilled in here!

The scenery in Igualada is breathtaking. As little town surrounded by a chain of mountains, Igualada honors the Spanish siesta lifestyle. I hadn't realised the stress effect that Barcelona was having on me until I reached this little countryside gem. I can finally hear my mental voice again. All of them.

So today after I had my amazing sauna shower (I know right) I decided to finally succumb to the fashion that is, writing a Blog. Whereas Helena realised that a couple that were dressed up for our dear Emily's Birthday party were dressed as a cowboy and an a Native American for a reason. Ok so that joke actually made sense in real life but life's a bitch and you can't always have everything I guess! I'm going to mention Samuel Wight because I just have to. He's great and he's just our Sam!

So I will continue my story another day. I salute all of you that give a cucumber about my life!

Lots of Love,

Amey xoxox <3
