La Sonya

I've moved into a dorm room again. I  have a roommate again. I met her Sunday night when she moved in.  I'll be here for six weeks, that is the same amount of time most staff spend at camp. I figure I must be at teacher camp. Only I'm making my food in a tiny ill equipped kitchenette and there is no line call. But I still have classes. I make my own camp counsel and rec time, I realized Dare Base is hard to play with just one person and I couldn't find enough players this week, there is always next week. So I've decided to just stick with running and cross training.  I'm making new friends, new friends are everywhere. The weather is good in the afternoons, the mornings have been quite chilly and the evenings perfect. With the sun setting so late I'm able to go for nice evening walks.  As for my class this last week, I was loving it. Yes lots of papers to write and books to read but I didn't care because it was so interesting and inspiring. I am still pro...

So I've been really busy and haven't had internet at my home this year so I haven't written as much as I wanted to. Life, it happens. I'm going to PUC for the summer. I've never had summer classes, I hope I don't drown in school work. I am coming back to Oakhurst to teach next year again. I love it. Thank you to all those of you who last year this time, when I came back to America, encouraged me to come here and teach. I guess you do know me after all. (That's one of those things where I'm surprised when people know me and see the inside of me. It is scary but cool at the same time. I miss those people, they've all moved away) I've been back in America for one year. And for the first time since university I am not leaving the country in the fall. Akk, I need an adventure! I'm training for a full marathon and most days I think I'm crazy and don't want to be put in a training box. I just want to run and love life as I run. I a...

*Pretend this was typed out on my birthday a few months back* This is by no means a full list of things I've learned. It's just a few of the things I've been thinking about lately. It helped me to realize that turning any age isn't horrible, especially if you have learned and lived and loved. It's best to cry in transit-airplanes, airports, buses etc. I hate packing I love UNpacking  You don't have to speak the same language to be friends Stick shift cars are more fun Weighing myself is better in kilos Grades don't get you into heaven Dogs are mans best friend but cats can be too Distance means nothing in true relationships Camp changes lives Icelandic volcanoes can cramp a vacation Simple is always better It's okay to work for free sometimes All colors match Scarfs are just Adventist jewelry Making your bed makes your day go better Travel always Run because you love it, even when you don't Goodbyes hurt but don't always h...
