Don't sit on your culo get up and do something!

I've been a bit busy and haven't written in awhile. I can happily say things are much more relaxed than the last post. Yesterday I went shopping with Pepi and Maribel and scored some amazing deals. Shop therapy helps, I don't care what any man says. Anyway, that was a nice change to being home all day. This morning I had class and Joan didn't have to be at work until 3 so we had the afternoon together. We had a coffee, something I have grown very fond of, I saw Carmen which was nice-no massage;hopefully I'll have another appointment soon. After we walked along the beach and I have never seen an ocean so blue. Today is exceptionally windy but the sun is shining and I can't ask for more.

There is something about the ocean, the beach that clarifies my thoughts and simplifies a life. Any worries I have, I forget about them immediately upon the smell of the salty sea air reaching my nose and filling me with thoughts of sailboats and cool water. The sand, was the perfect shade of brown if there is such a thing and the vibrant green of the palms against the backdrop of the sky, such a light blue that it faded into the sea.

I've had lots of decisions to make recently, some are still undecided but its times like these that slap me in the face and realize life could be worse.

Lots of things are happening though, my Spanish classes are going very well and while I don't feel confident enough to write in Spanish I know I am getting better. I have found a dance studio and am considering getting back into that as well. The receptionist at Cavok, Pilar, has a friend who is a professor at a university in Girona and wants to improve her English. She asked Pilar if she knew anyone who spoke English and had time to help her out. She asked Joan about me and now I have a meeting with her sometime soon to get started. Four hours a week, with pay, just talking with this woman and improving her vocabulary. This could be fun.


My friends, Nikki and Eryn are coming to visit in August. They are buying their tickets within the next couple days so I am completely stoked.Sigma Kappa reunion! Also, my friend Alison, David's girlfriend , will be here sooner than I thought as well, this month in fact. march 28th until April 6th so I hope to be able to see her a few times while she is here.

It is already March and there is so much I haven't done! Maybe tomorrow I will spend all day at the beach, if the weather permits. The house is shaking now it is so windy, being on the 5th floor we get the brunt of it before people on the ground feel it so that's interesting.

Lastly, I'm still holding out Heather will visit, I really hope so. That would make my year! If only I could find her a money tree...
