I'm currently living in Chicago and teaching Spanish. This summer I'm starting my ESL certification and Masters degree at the University of Illinois-Chicago. In my free time I love to work out every day, take long walks (trite but true), read, watch movies, hang out with friends, listen to all kinds of music, joke around, and support my favorite soccer team FC BARCELONA! My dream right now is to move back to Barcelona and teach English either at a secondary, university, or professional level.

WORKING OUT!!!!!, learning about new cultures, exploring, watching movies, quoting Dwight Schrute incessantly, chilling with friends, watching soccer, reading ANYTHING I can get my hands on, dancing, listening to music, playing volleyball, peoplewatching

He says he's jealous of the moon, because you look at it. He's jealous of the sun, because it warms you. He says, "I feel you, even when I'm not feeling you. I talk to you when I'm not talking to you. I love you, even when I'm not loving you."-Basquiat

Dwight Schrute: I.D. badges are long overdue. Security in this office park is a joke. Last year, I came to work with my spud gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day, with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?
