Just when things finally start getting better, here comes another setback. After finally getting my residency straightened out and my school working on my contract, the HR lady receives an email with a list of all the rules to contract an American. Everything was okay more or less except that they have to have had a residency card in Spain for three years. I will have had mine for two years in October...
So they can't offer me a contract until the 2013-14 course. This means I will have to work for the government again next year. At least I will have a job though. Around 22% of Spaniards cannot say that right now so I am grateful.

After yet another trip to the Oficina de Extranjería today, number nine to be exact, I finally have my temporary residency card. I have to go back in a month to pick up the real card and then repeat the process in about four months!

Trip number eight to the Oficina de Extranjeria. Hopefully this is going to be my second to last trip here. Next should be to pick up my cardand then to do it all over again in October...

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!!!

Yesterday was a good day. I had a decent day at school with the kids, I got to talk with my parents for awhile and it was the season premiere of a Spanish version of the show Wife Swap. Pretty good day I must say. I hope everyone else had a great Friday as well!
