There was a bit of drama through the 3rd quarter, though it worked out for the best in the end there wasn't the most positive vibe on campus. Half the class was basically off campus, but the last quarter we all became very tight again and got to another level in our training, massage and friendships.
I've learned and explored a lot down here. Tested many boundaries and over came a few fears and assumptions. One fear was of the ocean and its death trap waves. Samara has one of the best beaches for learning to surf, no reef and manageable waves. A couple of the girls that worked for the school I became quite close with and as a bonus they are both surf instructors. They made me a pro in 2 lessons and now I am sponsored by Roxy and surf diva. I had a blast, a few scary moments that really werent that scary and swallowed a whole lot of water.
The first road trip that wasn't through the school was taken up north to Playa Negra and final destination Tamarindo to attend a Buddhist meeting. The meeting was great andthe drive was beuatiful. 5 of us stayed in these little cabinas at the SwimSuit lady's property. She makes great swimsuits and dresses. Melissa basically is in business with her making 30 suits at atime and it turns into a little sweat shop weakend...you can imagine i just went to the beach. But i did get a dress made for graduation which you can see in the next blog.
A couple in the buddhist district had us meet them at their dive shop and took us to the meeting. It was primarily Italian members, the meeting was translated generously among the members into english italian and spanish. so great. The lady their was receiivng her gohonzon which is a beautiful symbol of committment, a great moment so lots of emotion! A universal family is a great thing to be a part of and draw wisdom and inspiration from.
I think that was it for 3rd quarter, socialized a lot more, made some close friends and got all A's. A great quarter!
