Hello again :)

Hello dear internet people if you are still here somewhere :) It feels like it’s time to start blogging again and it seems like I might have enough time and energy for it in the coming period of my life. I haven’t been here for half a year and A LOT has happened in this time, most of the changes being very welcome.
  • I’ve finally started renting a room in the city instead of staying in the dorms. So yay washing machine, I hope I’ll never have to wash my clothes with my hands again. My neighbours are kinda crazy, but whatever, there is a park nearby and the city center is close. I’ve also bought a sofa and a table and feel very grown up now!
  • I’ve fallen in love and it felt like getting back to life after a long period of being emotionally impotent. It didn’t work out and there were some bad feelings but I’m grateful anyway. I feel like my palate is cleaned now before the real stuff :)
  • I’ve moved to the sunny Barcelona for a 3-month internship and I love it SO MUCH here!! The sea is a 5 min walk away from my new office, and the people here are so awesome and relaxed! Besides, my Spanish is getting better now that I’m actually using it. There's a pic of the awesome Costa Brava below to give you a glimpse of the awesome area I'm living in now <3
Of course I was reading during this time, but there was so much stuff happening in real life that more often than not I felt like I couldn’t concentrate on the things I read about and ended up not caring about stories which would otherwise have greatly intrigued me. But some great books have come my way since I last had enthusiasm to share my thoughts here, so it would be unfair not to share the experience with you dear readers. That’s why I already have a collections of mini-reviews prepared for posting in the nearest future, and I hope the local second-hand bookstore (Hibernian, if anyone is curious) will provide me with more awesome reading material soon :)

  2. Barcelona looks wonderful!! I'll have to add it to my travel fantasy itinerary.

    I'm glad to see you back. I was on a little hiatus as well, due to busyness and my mom's health issues. I've returned though and am looking forward to the down-time that I've been so desperately misssing.

    Take care, Ekaterina!

  3. Welcome back :) and congrats to all the new changes and Barcelona (where I hope to go someday soon).

    I've been on a hiatus as well, so I'm slowly catching up with reviews as well (the ones I remember). Looking forward to seeing what you've read.

    Be Good.

  4. Hey, nice to see you back! Barcelona sounds neat, though since I'm sitting here in a heatwave I'm thinking that the Baltic sounds more attractive. ;)

    1. It's actually not THAT hot here, because we have sea :) Wind from the sea makes life much more bearable :)
