New Beginning...
I decided that it was time to start up a new and improved blog. One that details my travels with a little more depth. My last blog was filled with parties and stories about partying and I am sad to see it shut down, but alas from the ashes... something rises out!
In any event I have been busy as ever over here even though I am hardly working because of the August summer vacation. I have almost every morning free from work so I am able to get out there and surf quite often. I am finally standing up on the board which is great! I am looking forward to continuing the surf well into the winter. I am looking at buying a new winter wet suit in the not so distant future.
We had a new teacher arrive last week and I am sure she is going to fit in well. Interestingly enough, I did not want my boss to hire her because I did not get the best vibe from our telephone conversation. That just goes to show telephone calls should not be used to conduct interviews. I think she is going to work out great. The kids seem to like her which is fantastic and ultimately all that really matters. My schedule has been changed around a little bit which means I have some more free time. I still have a few classes that I would rather not but no job is really perfect is it?
I have some vacation time coming up and I have been debating about what I want to get up to. There are a few options but I think I will most likely end up climbing the tall mountain located in the middle of the island. I hear its not the most beautiful hike ever but it should still be a lot of fun. There are a few people interested in doing that together, I hope it works out. Otherwise I am going to lay low and just surf everyday! Most likely though I will make a journey somewhere... Kicking around in the sticks for a vacation is not that exciting at all!!!
I went to a Karate tournament this past weekend and caught some good footage of my Sempa fighting. He lost his second fight which was disapointing, but I am not motivated to improve my physical condition. I want to enter the tournament next year and hopefully do well. We had two fighters entered and I thought they both fought extremely well but the decisions went the other way. It happens sometimes.
I gotta roll outta here and get some things done this evening. Welcome to the new blog... I'll keep you posted!
