1/8th of the way done

2 weeks down and its going to go by fast, unfortunately it feels. The work load is intense but manageable, at least for this chica 10 years out of school. The teachers are pretty amazing and unique with stories of their lives to match.

We have mandatory massages that we receive from them as well. Horrible isn't it...we HAVE to receive a massage from an outstanding therapist. Its like prison down here.

The beach here is beautiful, waves are just right for swimming and the more adventurous of our crew who are learning to surf.

I have yet to explore beyond Samara. My adventure spirit has not woken up yet. I guess i feel this whole things is enough of an adventure so far.

I am experiencing the coolest thunderstorm of my life right now, thunder shakes your insides and the lightening is making the house glow.

The grounds, campus are beautiful. We get distracted in class by roosters, iguana's , butterflies and double decker bee thingies that bite. The usual! This is our class room

My housemates are fabulous, as is the rest of the class. Im very happy for just the 10 people. And don't think ive grown to love a group of random strangers so quickly and easily before. Quite the learning experience and test for my lovely "wall"

I am adjusting to how close we all are though. Its tough to make friends outside of campus when you don't speak a word of their language. I do wish I had more time before coming here to get a grasp on it. But I can smile and nod like nobodies business!!

I dont miss Vancouver yet but i so miss you all. When you get to a point in your life and you are in paradise doing what you love and still miss your chosen family and family thats a pretty cool thing to experience.

LOVE LOVE

I'm so happy that you're having such a wonderful time. Can't believe that's your classroom!!!!!

ps. those aren't double decker bees, they're just humping.

Can you squash some of those humping bugs in a book and bring them home for me?
