el mundo era tan reciente, que muchas cosas carecían de nombre, y para mencionarlas había que señalarlas con el dedo.

a reintroduction:
hello everyone! i was formerly @espanhois but have decided to remake just because i could really use a fresh start right now. here’s a bit about me:
- currently living in spain
- from the us, have also lived in ecuador
- last semester of undergrad, studying spanish and portuguese
- starting my phd in the fall (hispanic studies)
- also interested in quechua, italian, and catalan
the main purpose of this blog is to:
- help me refine my skills in communicating what i’ve learned to another audience who isn’t as familiar with the topics i study
- track my progress in language learning
- document my stay in spain and my future endeavors
- keep in touch with all the beautiful people i’ve met on this site
- give me a space for book reviews and random literature related diatribes (god knows i need it)
feel free to ask me anything about:
- spanish & portuguese grammar or vocab help
- latin american literature
- my experience in spain and in ecuador
- my process for applying to grad school
- anything related to undergrad or the us higher education system
i hope you enjoy what i have to say! if we were mutuals on my other blog and i haven’t followed you back feel free to shoot me a message! if we don’t know each other, feel free to reach out so we can be friends!
