It's been a while...

It has been a while since we last spoke, how are you doing? I'm doing fine, school is keeping me pretty busy as usual, I have a list of callbacks that seems to be growing by the minute and my email inbox is full of people I haven't responded to. If you are one of those people, I apologize. Please understand how busy I am, way too much homework and Sundays are my only day of rest. I hope you understand it when I say that I'd rather be surfing on Sunday rather than sitting in front of my computer responding to a million emails. Surfing allows me to relax and I personally believe that it is something I need, one day of rest out of a hectic week.

Hmm, what have I been up to you, you ask. One Word, school. This term I am only working with the Surf Club, I have backed away from Beta Alpha Psi, the snowboard club (season's over), student politics, campus rec center and a plethora of other groups that I was involved in. I need the time to focus on my studies. Fortunately my lack of time hasn't hurt my G.P.A rather it has hurt the amount of sleep I get every night. This term has been pretty good so far. I am taking three classes; Financial Statement Analysis, Managment strategy and I started my business project. My busines project is quite fun. Fortune smiled upon our group and we were able to work with a great company on a very interesting project. Unfortunately we are all under a N.D.A so I can't tell you anything about it except that I am learning a LOT.

Summer Plans,

    Oh summer plans, summer plans. My have those changed. Originally I was heading to France for a month and then I was going to trip around Europe for another month. Nope, that ain't going to happen anymore. I am still going to France for a month to finish my studies but afterwards Jenson and I have decided to head west to Spain instead of tripping around Europe. I am going to spend one month in the town of Salamanca, Spain at a language school there. Each morning for four hours, five days out of the week I am going to be attending spanish courses. After classes we'll be heading out on field trips and exploring the town.

One of the weekend we are going to leave immediately after class and return late on monday (most likely skip classes that day). The destination: Portugal on surfing safari. I've begun the research and I have found a few good breaks that should provide some decent waves during that time of year. Summer isn't the best time for surfing in Portugal/Spain BUT some places still do go off and it is our quest to find those breaks and surf them. Well it's my quest at least. 

I am still returning from Europe on the same date, August 10th. I am going to kick back in Oregon and finish my business project until approximately August 27th and then I'm headingto Florida to visit my parents. I'm not sure on that exact date yet (it may be earlier). I will pin down that date pretty soon and let everyone know as soon as I do. I will be purchasing plane ticket(s) before I leave for Europe.

Welp, I better get back to my homework. Until another day.
