Life has been flying by here in Jarabacoa. The weeks are packed with school and other wonderful stuff while the weekends give some nice down time and more time for fun with friends. Lately I have been getting back into running a lot and basically just ignoring the pain in my knee as long as it doesn't feel damaging. This has led to want to do something crazy. Next weekend I am going to go to the highest mountain in the Caribbean and along with one of my students we are going to try and make it up and down faster than has been recorded before. It will be a nice round trip of 28 miles with somewhere around 10k feet of vertical in it. It is gonna hurt a lot, but it should be really fun as well. The good news is that we will get to use Semana Santa (Holy Week/Spring Break) to recover from the brutally crushed quads, calves, and hamstrings.
Its crazy to be less than 3 months away from Graduation and the end of the semester, and I feel like if I blink it will be summer. I guess these are signs of enjoying life and living into the moment.
Tonight's agenda has me as a chaperon at a dance, I really don't even know what that means here, but it should be fun.

Hello David,
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found your blog! I have some catching up to do on your life! I had a d.r. student in my reading class last semester (not my Spanish classes) I'd love for her to be a T.A though in Spanish. Look forward to hearing more and I'm glad your not taking that sunshine for granted (its been snowing here all day)
