One month later...

Good afternoon readers...

I"ve been home for exactly a month now and I still don't really know what to think. I don't really think I miss Seville yet. Strange huh... I think it's because I got home a month ago and I really havne't stopped moving since. I've been working a lot and trying to catch up with people. Trying to recooperate the bank accounts after their hard hit in Spain. It is kinda different to look at my accounts online and now instead of seeing a currency conversion fee and addresses from all over Europe, I see ATM withdrawls from Urbandale and Waukee. Asi es la vida... you know... my card just isn't international anymore.

So yeah, work is good. I've started my internship at Principal here in DSM. I am working as an IT Business Analyst. It's very hard to explain so ask me at the 4th if you are unsure. Basically I translate business speak into developer speak to try to fix problems. I'm the middle man I guess you could say. It's been fun, challenging, and tiring. But all together worth it. I'm also still working at the course which we now lovingly call "the Sugar Shack." Although there are certain people in the city of Waukee I'd like to punch, it's still one of my favorite places at home. And although I'm not working at HyVee anymore, I go in periodically to check in with everyone and say hello. They seem appreciative. Everything except the fact that they are working and I am not. Owell... I like having weekends off most of the time.

As for the boy, he's good. Still a dork but good. He doesn't have access to the blog yet and he does know I call him a dork. So it's all good! He's met the fam and I've met his fam and all is good. He's spending the summer doing research at St. Olaf. He's working on some project but his professor lost the grant that was supposed to fund their summer so now he's doing minimal tasks because there isn't any money to do something better. He's still content though. I would be too... he get to play in a lab all day getting paid for 8 hours when he really does maybe 6 a day. His life is rough... The distance is different but really... I kinda like it... I'm not as dependent on him and he isn't dependent on me. We're both content living our lives and being with eachother when we can. So... buttons on your underwear... hopefully things will work out... for once!

Other than that, life is pretty good. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at the 4th celebration. I may or may not have more pictures... just ask anything if you want to know more.

See you soon!
