Hi guys!
I've finally graduated from uni and instead of going off and getting a real job, I'm making plans for a move to Madrid in October. The goal of my gap year is to improve my Spanish, so I'm going to be enrolling in a long-term language course, most likely at Universidad Complutense in Madrid. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find work in the Chemistry Dept, otherwise, the job search will continue! Unless any foreros know of anyone looking to hire someone with a Masters in Chemistry? ;D


PS> I know I've been missing on the forums for a long time after severely limiting my internet time this past year--my dissertation was in jeopardy between online sudoku, facebook, etc!, I've got a lot of catching up to do. The video blogs look/sound great!

Hi Ashley, great news. We will have to have a 'foreros who have moved to Madrid' Christmas party at this rate, sounds like there might be a few here by then!

Will there be beautifully wrapped NFS mugs under the árbol de navidad?

Congratulations, Ashley, and lots of luck with your "gap year" plans. I was just sitting here (in Germany) thinking how my gap year "abroad" turned into 42 gap years. :eek: (no regrets, though).:)

I have been hearing warnings about people who come to Madrid and never leave...Maybe I'll be able to extend my stay by charming my way in to a PhD position!
