I learned how to surf on Tuesday! It was a blast. I can´t put up any pictures though, because I have finally sent my laptop in to HP to be fixed. Hopefully I will get that back within 2 or 3 weeks. I´ve only been without it for 2 days and it´s driving me nuts! But the weather has been beautiful so I don´t want to be spending too much time online.
Surfing was a lot easier than I thought it would be. We watched a youtube video, rented wetsuits, boots, and boards, and jumped in the ocean. After about an hour and a half I could stand up on the board, but not for more than a few seconds. We tried to go again on Thursday, but it was really stormy and dangerous so we collected sea shells instead. I think I´ll be able to get pretty good at this after 2 or 3 more times in the water.
School has gotten really busy. Last week, I had 2 presentations and a midterm, and this week I have 2 more presentations and another midterm. I´ve been doing well so far though, and it´s not too overwhelming.
I missed having corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick´s Day. Maybe my mother will make it for me when I get home for the summer though? We´ll see. For now I´m off to bed. Take care!
Love, Em
Your mother and your grandmother would be delighted to make you corn beef and cabbage when you are home! We are enjoying sunshine, but cold weather as we await the next Marquette basketball game. Glad you are keeping up with your studies, and glad to hear you are having fun. Love you and miss you bunches, Mom
ReplyDeleteOKAY, so I am still newish at this computer stuff, and it won't let me sign in as myself, so I guess you'll have to use your noggin to differentiate which of us are signing in..... Love, Mom
!! Agarrar surfista!! Yes - hang ten and dude don't really translate well, amiga. Enjoy las olas. It was 17 degrees this am and we had snow today (but it did not stick). I think catching some gnarly waves is worth skipping corned beef and cabbage (don't tell Nana).
