June – What can I say about June – It felt like a month full of visits to the immigration office. Their hours are 8am until 1pm and there were a couple of days that I spent from 8am until 1pm there. Always a new piece of paperwork needed, or something else translated and certified.

I just finished 6 months of language school.  It is flowing much easier and I realize that I don’t have to do as much translating.  There is still much to learn, and remember but at times it feels very natural and a normal everyday life speaking in Spanish.  Next step is the CELU International Exam in November. The residency process continues and is almost complete.  Casi.  The process changed in January so a few things had to be redone; and there always seems to be something new that is needed.  I do have to say the paperwork needed and the process with the National Police Department was on of the easier and more enjoyable steps.  The […]
