I guess I´d better start from the beginning

VIVA MADRID!!!! Just thought I´d start off with a bang...wow so here I am starting my own blog. I never thought I would sell out to technology like this but here I am with my texty little phone, pink ipod, facebook membership and now, finally, my very own blog.

First off starting my blog in Spain, all in Spanish trying to set this up was rather odd but whatever I think I did it correctly. I suppose I should start from the beginning.

Name: Lori
Age: 26 (a young 26, I might add...or a fresh 26 perhaps)
Point of this blog: To tell about my life here in Madrid, Spain, as an american, to add laughter and joy to random peoples lives, (who am I kidding...my 3 friends are the only people who will actually read this, I am sure...maybe not even). I also don´t keep a journal and apparently is appalling to all of those ´deep´people that here I am traveling and living abroad and I don´t even have a travel journal!!! I mean how I am going to share my experiences with my children someday, ahhh! So here I am blogging away.

How I arrived: Well I began my journey as Lori 26 years ago in Chicago. I think some parts of my body are actually permanently frozen after enduring 18 chicago winters. That being said I escaped to sunny Tucson Arizona for college (college-worth the thousands my darling parents paid? still unsure, perhaps will have to debate that via blog sometime soon). After college, which include a brief and drunken study abroad stint in Spain, I ambitiously moved to New York, in search of being fabulous business woman Lori. Shortly found out that being fabulous business woman Lori actually means being an assistant for several years and working 70 hours a week...dreams were quickly crushed and savings rapidly decreased, then decided to try my luck abroad. I mean those who can speak more than one language have a wordly culture advantage, no?
So here I am, Lori in Madrid, school teacher by day, blogger by night. That´s the big historical beginning of my life. Now I am wondering what about my life might others find interesting? Will get back to you all soon with that answer, hopefully.
