Do I need to just blog more, even if it's on my Tumblr? Do you need to blog more? Do we need to blog again!? I miss blogging. I like blogging. I like when you blog and your Instagrams. I think Instagram gets in the way of blogging, but I want to start blogging more regardless of Instagram. <br /><br />Are David and I silly for thinking we might go back to Spain a third time through the language assistant program that barely pays anything, but just enough. My Dad gets so angry, but I love Europe! <br /><br />Rent in Spain is so cheap! You should move there with us somehow. You don't need a lot of money. You really could go over to Spain and live off of $5,000 for a year doing what we did, but of course more money would be better so you could move back to the US with money. You'd be royals with $10,000. Rent is between 400-700 euro a month. <br /><br />Apply to do what we did here, http://www.mecd.gob.es/eeuu/convocatorias-programas/convocatorias-eeuu/auxiliares-conversacion-eeuu.html The application period starts tomorrow at midnight Spanish time, so I think that's 4 pm for you. You have to apply right away to get a good low number to have a better chance of getting your desired area of Spain. I'm sure there are other ways to work in Spain and better jobs, but this is the best way I know. <br /><br />You just apply online and then you have a couple of months to send in your paperwork. When you apply, you have to upload a transcript, letter of rec (you can use an old one), statement of purpose, and passport. You either have to be a college graduate or be in your last year of study, that's really the only requirement. When you apply you choose your top 3 areas. Right now, the program is canceled in Valencia and Catalunya. Email me or call me 503 821 9377 if you have any questions are think one of you might apply. I know you have a family, but I really think you could do it and you probably have more money than us.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587128742581077951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850925522681981943.post-88765816311814679992013-08-14T15:05:11.117-07:002013-08-14T15:05:11.117-07:00I got it!I got it!mattbeattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864581561711697380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850925522681981943.post-45255370172667492872013-08-14T15:03:50.571-07:002013-08-14T15:03:50.571-07:00testing 1 2 3testing 1 2 3Amy Beattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08449123714163750723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850925522681981943.post-48892171810180273822013-07-02T15:02:55.695-07:002013-07-02T15:02:55.695-07:00Cute, you need to play catch up!!
