Surfer Girl

Hello all I am back from surf camp, safe and sound from any sharks.  It was actually a realllly great time, met a lot of people and even stood up on a surfboard! (Pretty big deal if you have any idea of how unathletic I am) Anyways like I said it was a really good time I met a lot of people, but is really weird meeting a whole new group of people and trying to figure out where you fit in and what not. It is like high school or something finding a whole new group of friends and deciding what kind of people you want to be around. But over all everyone was super nice and I met people from all over the world, which is very cool. The instructors were very nice and not bad looking either haha. I met people who were from Russia, France, Netherlands, and Sweden. It was quite interesting. Also my advisor went on the surf camp with us and she is very cool I got along with her very well and think I am really going enjoy having her as my advisor. Its funny because for the most part I don’t become super close with my teachers but I really think I will go visit her in her office just to chat which will be nice to have over here.

 Oh almost forgot to talk about my photo I think it is pretty self explanatory, that is the group I was with over there and the beach we surfed on. So you are probably wondering if I will start surfing here and I would like to think I would once it warms up. It was freezing we went and rained one day. After my first lesson all of my toes were numb and the bottoms of my feet and me being the smart person I am I didn’t bring flip flops and only brought one pair of winter boots, so I had to walk bare foot to the beach and back everyday. I did have a few times where I almost skipped out on a lesson because it was in the 60s but I forced myself to do it anyways. Looking back I'm really glad I did, I think that is one thing that I hope I take away from this trip is to never miss out on an opportunity. Once I again if you know me at all you know I love my sleep but I'm going to try and make sure that doesn’t stop me from doing anything over here because I know I will never get a chance like this again. Anyways that was pretty much my weekend it was a great time and am very glad I went, I do have to say I miss you all very much back home! Hope you are enjoying my life story haha

PS: I finally got my charger in the mail so I can start taking real pictures!
