Today has been a very exciting day. I begun the day by cleaning out the closet of my old high school bedroom. I found old short stories that I had written and spent about an hour reading through a notebook of them. I am afraid to say that while my academic writing has undoubtedly gotten better my creative writing was probably better back then. I also uncovered my old drawing pad from art class. I have never been any good at painting but I would have to consider myself pretty good at doodling in black and white... this may have inspired my choice of gray scale tattoos over colored ones. In the pad there are about 50 drawings of surfboards. I got a bit nostalgic over how much I used to love designing surfboards. Many people don't know this but I actually designed and built my own surfboard in high school. After seeing these doodles I of course had to pull down the old long board from the attic and decided that I should take it for a spin later this week. After that I really didn't get much cleaning done. However my official contract from Buckland came today and that is also very exciting. This means that I am fully accepted to their teaching program and that I am officially on my way to China. CHEERS!!! I thought that this day would be met mostly with anxiety but I have got to say that I am really excited to begin my Adventure in Asia.
