Spending money

Today I went to the bank to find out my first paycheck had been submitted! Only one more week and I will be able to pay back my debt to my savings account AND pay for my flight to Madrid! Indeed, I have booked another trip. :) To Spain again, but this time to visit my Kike majo, better known as Enrique. The plan is that I arrive on Thursday, visit Madrid on Friday while he is at work, take the bus to Burgos, his hometown, in the evening and visit that city during the weekend. Sunday evening return to Madrid and Monday some more individual sightseeing followed by my afternoon flight home. Quite a short trip, but he has just found himself a job, so I can't go and entertain him for too long. :P It will be great though to see him back after almost exactly one year! At about the same time one year ago we were sitting in my garden doing a silly photo shoot. :)



It won't be my first visit to Madrid but I am looking forward to discovering more of the city and return to places I liked from my trip there last year. And Enrique always seemed extremely proud of "his" ( :P ) city Burgos, so my expectations are high. :)

My plans for after September still aren't anywhere near to being clear. Today I finished copying my final documents for my EU-application file and next week I can go and post it. Hopefully to hear back from them around the middle of November, otherwise most probably never. :P I also ordered a study-at-home course Spanish! My best friend Charlotte ordered a Portuguese one last year and she seemed pleased about it, even though she didn't decide it was worth taking to Spain with her. ;) She has of course less leisure time compared to me at the moment. Hopefully it will arrive soon though. I know myself, if it takes too long I will loose interest and my temporal motivation will diminish. I've also just discovered a ten day for ten euro gym-offer in my weekly Flair magazine! So if find some courage I will go there tomorrow and make some inquiries about the start date and possibilities. I should validate it before the end of august, so as my summer job ends the fourth of September, I will try the 31st of this month. That way I would be able to spend it before leaving to Madrid anyway.
Oh my, it's not even New Year and already I am making resolutions! :P
