This is a form of procrastination from my homework and as a reminder that my time here is very limited. You think 6 months is a lot of time when really it is flying right in front of my eyes. I can’t say that I really know myself all that better than before but I’m creating new dreams for myself and just seeing where they take me. As of now here are some random dream jobs I find interesting:
- Writer/researcher for ESPN’s Documentary Department. Seriously these are some of my favorite videos of all time.
- Own a bookstore with a cafe (like John Rollin’s … does anyone remember that place?), and have poetry slams and afterschool programs promoting literacy. The store also needs to have two Burmese cats.
- Publisher for children’s books.
Those are just some fun things I’ve been thinking about. But don’t worry, I’m not getting ahead of myself. I really want to try and focus more of my time here in Sevilla. So I am creating a list of all the things I want to accomplish before this semester is over.
- Drink some agua de Sevilla
- Go to the animal market on Ave. Torneo
- Go to a local food market
- Witness a Bull Fight in the Plaza de Toros
- Eat ice cream at Rayas
- Eat at Bar Ajo Blanco
- Check out Metropol Parasol
- Eat churros from the stand on Calle Arfe
- Visit La fabrica de cerveza
- Find Velazquez’s house
- Visit Sevilla Cemetery
- (when it’s warm) Play in the fountains at Alemeda de Hercules
- Drink at Bar la Goleta
- Find the aqueducts
- Olive oil tasting (way cooler than wine tasting)
Those are just a few on my list.
