3 reasons why I'm going to Spain...

3.After four years of too little sleep and too much reading, I'm afraid my brain has dried up on me and I just might be a little crazy.* It's time to stop deconstructing and go off tilting at some windmills! Nothing can get me out of my head like the sheer sensory overload of being in some new far-off place. So here I go: a year of less thinking/reading/writing and more experiencing/doing. Of course, I can't kick the over-analyzing habit cold turkey, so you, my adoring public, will get to read my musings here. yay!

2.Shortly after graduation I received a fortune cookie message that reads: "Your dreams will bring you into a profitable venture." This gives me carte blanche to do whatever the hell I want without fearing the possibility of living in a box.

1. I am the biggest Spanish nerd in the world. I salivate over bizarre archaisms, and yet I have the conversational ability of an 8 year old at best.

*For those of you monolingual gringos who give us all a bad name: This first sentence is a paraphrase of that quote up there and the very nerdy origin of the name of this very cool blog.
(Look at me writing foot notes as I swear off academia, I'm hopeless.)
