1. I went surfing for the first time. The bomb diggity. I was able to get to my feet and felt alive in the freezing water. You naturally feel supercool wearing a wetsuit and trotting toward the ocean with a surfboard at your side. I´m going again this weekend in hopes of trying to really catch a wave. Also, I am a now imagining a summer of surfing on virgin beaches with mountainous backdrops. Idealism is a beautiful thing.
2. I´ve joined the local climbing/hiking community which should add some more excitement and friends to my life. It will also be a good outlet to hike through some of the beautiful countryside that i´ve mostly been seeing by car.
3. I´ve picked up some private classes on the side which is a nice, easy bump to my monthly income.
4. I´ve reached the 4 month mark. When i reached it in Mexico i was just starting to feel really comfortable with the life and language there, but then i went home. Now, I am feeling the same and have at least another 6 months to go.
5. I´ve been lent some interesting books in spanish and so should be doing a lot more second language reading.
6. I´ve begun to practice water paints. I´m still pretty bad.
7. My roomies are helping me to learn the music creation/production software Ableton Live.
8. I´ve decided that in the future, if nothing else grabs my attention, I will get an associate´s degree and become a physical therapist´s assistant. I think i could dig it. This would be after teaching english at a ski resort, though.
9. I´ve switched from drinking coffee from a french press to an Italian perculator. Playa´s so cultured!
