More than I figured
June 22, 2006
I am alive and I am well. I will say that I completely underestimated this job. I continue to think of things to write about, and continue to write about them, but having to share five computers with 500 staff has not allowed for generous online time.
The bay is absolutely incredible. At times, when I’m a homesick, emotional mess I can sit overlooking the water and the land and the cities across the water and the land, and remember why I came in the first place - to make myself less of an emotional mess. And to save for a MacBook.
The staff here is from everywhere. Soccer coaches from England. Dance instructors from Spain. Sailing teachers from Australia. It seems as if everyone has taken well to eachother.
I have never moved so much in my life. When I finally hit my bed at night I feel as if I’ve been up and running for two weeks. Overall, I feel better. It’s amazing how much being active makes everything… better.
So although I will continue to write, it may be less often that I can publish it here. It’s definitely an experience, and I have two months to go.

Finally an update! :D Wow only 5 computers to be shared amongst 500 staff? So that’s about 100 staff to one computer. I don’t blame you for not being able to go online as often as you want to.
I would love to take on a job whereby I’d be given a chance to meet people from so many different countries. And you’re so lucky.
Well when the two months is up and you’re free, do give a detailed update about your experience! :)

It’s great to hear from you! It sounds to me that it’s quite an adventure you’re having. It’s a great experience to work with a vast diversity of people. I’m sure you’re really enjoying yourself. Two months will fly by, so be sure to take it all in =)

Oh golly! Be sure to hydrate and stretch well! We don’t need you tripping over any turtles down there and pull your hammy. Mmmm…hammy
