i hope you are enjoying Feb and that you do something fun for V-day... show people in your life that you love them.
as for me, i'll be spending my V-day with a group of wild teenagers playing games and wearing red and pink. the past couple sats, i've been helping with the youth group kids. last week we played at the beach and then came back to the house for a BBQ. then yesterday, we ran around the streets doing a scavenger hunt in camo gear w/ our faces painted black. afterward we hung out at Maccas (McDonalds) for dessert.
i only worked a couple nights at the pub 2 weeks ago and then last week somehow got roped into scrubbing the walls for 2 1/2 hours. i sure hope i get paid for working there. every once-in-a-while i work a shift at a restaurant as well. so my days don't consist of too much besides wanting to leave this place. i surf even though it's flat and i have to paddle like mad on a long board just to catch a little creepy crawler. however, they swear to me that the waves get really good here. i go to coffee shops and run some evenings. i hang with the family and am so thankful they get internet. they have a sweet orange cat named Joe and two dogs... big-grinning Ted the American Staff and Patches the three-legged, loudest-barking Cattle dog.
I am working at being more proactive in figuring out my next step. Even though I don't want to come home just yet, I don't want things to keep going the way they are. I've been looking into TESOL programs and teaching English abroad. I'm only thinking of this because I miss studying Spanish and know that I want to become more fluent. Maybe go for my Masters and then who knows...
so... fill me in w/ how you are. i enjoy hearing from you.
love,
julie
