Hi all, this is to share that I am in an “oposición”. What’s that? Here in Spain and some other European countries, when the Government wants to hire personnel launches a competition. Basically you are given a list of subjects to study and then you have to take a series of tests. The guys with best marks get a secured, 38 hours a week, 1 month + holidays, life long job.
I want to be one of those guys.
Problem is that 12,000 other people want it too (twelve thousand). And they are hiring 44 persons. No typo. This is the student equivalent of a marathon. I’m having the first exam on Dec the 21st -Sunday, I know- and the second probably on Dec the 28th, which is the equivalent of April’s fool. I’m afraid I will have to study even on Christmas Day.
The reason I’m sharing is because, starting today, I will be updating this blog but twice a week, for the five coming weeks of so. I have many people to beat and I don’t want to fail on this one.
So wish me luck, and see you again on Monday. (By the way, there is a great post about forgiveness just below this one).
Hi Miguel - I’m wishing you all the luck in the world. I know you can do it. If you want even more inspiration, you must read Betsy’s (Passing Thru blog) latest post. It’s named “As If” Here’s a link: http://passingthru.com/?p=715
Again, good luck. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks, I hope to have all the luck of hard, good and honest work. As for the updates, remember something, the Government is slow.

Hi Tammy
Still I want to leave a bit of activity in the blog. If only to have a bit of fun.

Well, I can just come back over and comment each day. I have no problem in the comment section. My safe zone.
No really, you study and study hard. This is a huge opportunity for you.

Robin´s last blog post..An Unusual Experiment
Hi Robin,
Thanks a lot for your luck!
No, it’s not the job of my dream, but it’s a job that would allow me to write what I like to write. 
Sounds wonderful, Miguel - I hope you get the job. I know you’d do well at it, and I’m confident you’ll do well on the exams, also. Let us know!
