half-unemployed

at least i was able to save the money for the plane ticket to Spain... because that's the big chunk of money for the trip... oh, i'm going ahead with the story... oh well, the thing is that i finished all i could do for now at Lehmann bookstore, and they'll call me whenever they need anything, so practically, i lost one of my jobs. I still have the sportsbook gig, but that's crap and i've found myself being a jerk with customers (the ones who really, really deserve it)... i get tired and as soon as i step into the office, i want to get out. this is the start of my fourth year at the sportsbook and i think that's enough... i hope i can change jobs when i return to CR on august.

and i have a new plan now... as soon as i return and in whatever job i will have, i'll start saving... not for a trip this time, but for either a) the bookstore, or b) an apartment.

i said before that i never plan ahead, or at least in the long run.. but i hope i'll make it this time.. i mean, this will take me at least a couple of years (the same that took me to save for the Spain trip).

so all i need is a decent job.. i even sent my resume to my old higschool, just in case they need someone in the future. and maybe the english conversation courses will call me to teach after august at the university. i wont be a TA anymore.. i need a real job please..

Spain!!

ok, so there you have it... i'm going to Spain... from San Jose to Caracas, Caracas to Milan, and from Milan to Barcelona...

i'm terribly happy... i'm actually procrastinatingly happy (i just made up the word, which for me means daydreaming about the trip instead of studying)...

anyhow... i'll leave CR on july 17th and arrive to Barcelona on the 18th. Mariella is picking me up and on the 20th we will be at the Benicassim Festival.

I'll get to see some of my favorite bands (Placebo, Pixies, Franz Ferdinand, Depeche Mode) that i don't quite believe that i'll be there... this is so surreal... i'll get to see Brian Molko... omg..

after that, i'll go back to barcelona and hopefully, i'll see my friends from WAC: Anita, Anna and Elisa.

and of course i'll be with my Lela (en la matita, jaja).

then i'll head to Madrid so i can check up on the museums (i'm really looking forward this!)

then, on august 3rd i'll head back to Costa Rica.... looking forward to be back with my ñoño..

that's it for now... i should study, you know... but have so many other things in my mind right now (like, i just had an offer to work for the university for a conversation course--remember, i have 2 jobs already--, or that i'm reading Watchment so i can figure out if it's good enough for my thesis material, and of course, the never ending Bhaktin reading i've been dealing for the past 3 weeks..)
