Uneasiness
I find myself being unable to sleep. 3 am, I wake up. 6am, again, I rise. Finally, 9am, a decent time to get up. I find myself uneasy of being in a new city. It is the adventures that await that have me on the edge of my seat. It is like living in New York City. I live in the center of everything in Spain. It is a city known as Madrid. Everything happens here, fashion, love, and passion. I am mesmirized by it.
I have been here in the past. For three years, I have roamed these streets, but not to its greatest detail. I have said to myself to enjoy every moment of it. Go to bars, coffee shops, and clothing stops. In youth, take time for yourself; meet new people. Don´t take everything for granted.
Tourist
I have seen myself as a toursit of my own city. For the first four months, I have been able to get to know more than Calle Gran Via. It is the most famous street in Spain. Gran via is fillied with life and locations. It is the heart of the city. For the past three years, my favorite places to visit were Nuevos Ministerios, Arguelles, and last but not least, Gran Via. I use to live five minutes from its location, and I must say the goal is to be back on that same street, in a new flat. In the area you see plenty of tourists, and people who speak English. You bump into all kinds of people there. English, German, French, you name it. It is the place to be in the city.
Fashion
As I have stated before, Fashion, La moda, is greatly infuenced here. I have been trying to find a job in a local department store beside teaching. I want to work my Parsons´School of Design certifiate. I am a Designer, regardless. However, it is difficult to find a spot here. Especially, when you have 6 million peole that are intrested in the same thing. I, on the other hand, am becoming a social butterfly in the area. To further explain, I have appeared in Spanish television. My five minutes of fame consumed, elaborated, taken to place.
Possibilities
I am astonished. I am mesmirized at the way that things are falling into place. Before being a model, before becoming a Designer. I had a classical career of choice; becoming a physician. I use to live in the city of Houston. Houston, Texas. Houston is known as the city of medicine, all things medical field. I, on one hand, was influenced by my city. I, at 18 years of age, decided to fullfill all requirements to get into the field. I started an early resume filled with hospital expiriences. I have seen a person see death, and I have seen a person brought back to life. As you can tell, I am a complex individual who molds into her sourroundings. I was seen as a hard worker, who is responsible, and determined. I have not changed. As I wait for plan A) working at a department store such as Victoria´s Secret, or Zara. I decided to make a visit at my local hospital to discuss employment opportunities. I am at a stand point, where I am getting a signed contract to work for their hospital.
America and Spain
I, on one hand, am excited about the contract. Not a lot of people get this opportunity. I know working in the medical field is impressive. Yet I am lucky enough to be offered a postion right on the spot. I am nervous of what truly awaits witihin the city. In just a matter of months, I am going to be making a lump sum of money. More than what people normally see here. I am nervous, because this opens the opportunity of living elsewhere of having my own flat without any roommates, and possibily moving out.
On one hand, I am also anxious of what awaits me inside the hospital walls. I am from Houston, to say the least. As I have mentioned before, the best hospitals in the world are seen there. I on one hand, am use to all American matters. I have had the pleasure to work for them. This contract can go two ways; a great blessing or a complete utter disaster.
