This is what I’ve been doing lately:
I got 2 jobs. One is to work as a receptionist and later as a teacher in an English institute here in Mataro. They will teach me the method they use to teach English (Callan). It’s not a conventional method, you can see for yourself a video memo class.
The job is only from 8 am to 1.30 pm, Monday to Friday, and the payment is actually quite good.
The other job is to work for Iberia, the Spanish airline, at the airport, in the check in area. I have to take a 2 week course, which starts the 12th of November. I might start working in December or January.
On Monday and Tuesday I went to La Escala, Gerona, here in Spain, to visit Paula. Paula is a close friend of mine, from Spain, that I met in Montclair, USA, who I hadn’t seen for year and a half. Paula was an Au Pair as well. She is now a flight attendant and living in Scotland. She had a few days off so she came to visit her family.
While being in US we used to talk all the time about our families, our home towns, our friends, our houses, our cultures, etc. We sort of ended up knowing a lot about our lives back home. But still, there was something missing. It’s like you meet the person but out of context. I think my other au pair friends understand what I’m saying.
Ericka: Paula keeps mixing Spanish with Catalan. And her English … well… say… improved a bit 
. In her family everybody speaks Catalan all the time to each other, I could only pick up some words, but let’s say… I understand Catalan as much as Paula does English 
.
Paula: I missed you a lot, hope we can see each other again. Scotland would be nice!!!
The following video is about my visit to Paula’s. Sorry if you are a non-Spanish speaker. Don’t try to learn Spanish from this video though. It’s not a good idea to learn Spanish from an Argentine and a Catalan
