So, I'm over a month into my year abroad
and everything's going okay everything's good
I am really enjoying it I'm just a little bit worried for my Spanish
I mean I'm speaking it and I'm obviously better than when I came
But I want to improve faster so yeah now I'm really on a mission to like you know
Step out of my comfort zone and just get to trap like everyday routine that we have like
you know wake up, go to school, come home, chill like yeah I like it
But because I don't live in central, because I don't have Spanish friends
I don't live with Spaniards I feel like I need to actively do more to ensure I'm actually
speaking enough Spanish because it's not just it's not gonna happen to me
I need to make it happen I just need to be even more of a go-getter than I already am
At the moment I'm just walking through like the area that I live
I've seen a few English schools which I think would be good
for me so that maybe go and get a job, bit of money on a Saturday or something
also if there's anyone who wants an English friend I'm here
I just think I need to let people know that I'm here and available
I've realized how valuable English is here and I mean I'm obviously a great resource and
also I'm British which is even better since I'm like well I'm actually really
valuable like I need to take advantage and let people know that I'm here because
people are looking for people like me and I'm looking for them
I just need to do more to go out of my way to like forge these relationships and make it make it actually happen
So I'm in this nature reserve type place
found this like thing full of routes and then things see in San Agustín
So I think I'm gonna do one of the routes now
very serene
I'm enjoying being in my own headspace
There's not really many people around it's nice just have some time alone
everything's okay yesterday the Intercambio was really good
it was really nice to meet people I met this one girl
I assume we're gonna be like you know partners
I'll help her with her English and she'll help me with my Spanish
And we're gonna go dancing tonight aswell
It was really nice to meet people and it's a really nice environment
because like everybody there is trying to learn
Because I feel like it's always a bit awkward when you're trying to learn off someone who
isn't really there to help you that you You kind of assume that just because they're
Spanish that they have a knowledge to give you and they want to help you but
because I'm that kind of person myself
So yea it's just nice to meet people who
are also on the same page
yeah today I'm not sure quite what I'm doing I realized
that I work to do less of just kind of going out and seeing things and more of
going out and doing things
Cause yea, you can go out and see things and that's nice
but the likelihood of you bumping into someone and like you know hitting it off
like talking is quite slim
I'm happy I'm very happy
Because my mindsets changed I feel like wherever I go whatever I do I'm going to be
looking for ways that I can use this situation to my advantage you know
So yea, it's lit
I think from here on out is improvement

Todos los días estoy grabando cosas
Solo pequeños videos
Y despues, los edito, y tengo un... film
Hasta luego
It is... Sunday of the long weekend The "puente"
I remember I started videoing like a few days ago
Talking about oh my gosh, I'm just a bit frustrated, my Spanish isn't improving
I haven't really got Spanish friends
But this weekend I'm gonna go out and make friends, and that's exactly what I did!
I'm really really happy
I feel like this weekend I've actually taken a huge leap
in like where I am, how I feel, my position in Spain
That sounds a bit extreme but yeah like I've literally made so many friends just in this one this weekend
Well not so many but... enough
Anyway so I've just met loads of people and it's just really nice
this weekend I've pretty much been speaking Spanish constantly
And Ollala's really been helping We've been helping eachother with grammar
I've been learning new words and
It's been nice to have a Spanish presence this weekend and I hope this is gonna continue from now onwards
I dunno I'm just really happy, I'm really content I feel like I've reached a good point
Where I have the resources that I need to improve
I'm just really happy
I'm about to start editing this vlog I'm making now
I'm just happy, I'm happy
This is the beginning of the next chapter and I'm excited
