Something like 150 people all packed into the reading room, studying for September exams. The room almost hummed with braininess. So I went up to the cafe, which is on the 9th floor, and set myself up to work at one of the tables there. The view is so spectacular, and I got to drink good coffees, so I was happy! That and I finished the work I still had remaining on my adviser&#8217;s project, at least for now.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll most likely move to Barcelona on the 11th now, after my Fulbright orientation in Madrid. Less back and forth for me which is nice, and more time enjoying the summer a little bit here in Toledo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/photo21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"465\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/splashblot.willowandjuanjo.com\/?attachment_id=465\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/splashblot.willowandjuanjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/photo21.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"600,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1251404841&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;92&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Visa pictures in Toledo, 8-27-09\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/splashblot.willowandjuanjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/photo21-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/splashblot.willowandjuanjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/photo21.jpg\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-465 alignleft\" title=\"Visa pictures in Toledo, 8-27-09\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/photo21-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/splashblot.willowandjuanjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/photo21-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/splashblot.willowandjuanjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/photo21.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also been working on getting my visa taken care of, figuring out whether to do a student visa, or apply for citizenship through marriage, or both. Here we are waiting in line for passport-size pictures this morning. I think I&#8217;m a person with a fair amount of patience for paperwork, but the amount of paperwork involved with visas and cross-national marriage is really astounding. Luckily the people were really nice here and we have an appointment next week to help us sort it all out. I&#8217;m looking forward to having 2 passports one day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I went to the library and every seat was taken&#8211;every single one!
