winter adventures


Final exam status: all completed minus one and that pesky little fella is scheduled for the 23 of this month. Making a jab at the accommodating planning of the professor, my classmates told me we should all take the final in the airport as we wait for my flight. (My flight leaves July 24th.)

After finishing the majority of my finals, I have felt quite free. Friday after the final a few friends and I went to a classy little cafĂ© to celebrate our newfound freedom. In my free time, I´ve been dining with friends, cooking breakfast, exploring, going for runs, and enjoying living a few blocks from the beach. I never understood the fun to be had at a beach in the winter. I´ve spent at least a few hours at the beach each day, reading, watching the waves, talking with friends, walking til my heart is content, writing, and simply enjoying the sun when it shines. Sunday afternoon I walked back to the apartment from the flea market via the beach, a marvelous 3 hours in the salty wind and sunshine. I will miss living near the beach.




Tuesday I´m off to Buenos Aires to renew my visa.
