Pre abroad thoughts

Hey there Family, Friends and all others
WElcome to my blog, I am looking forward to  writing out my experiences on these pages. Just for you information I will be making this blog very real I will be putting out my thoughts and ideas here for you and for me. I wont be editing it too much or making it perfect I will be writing it from the heart or else i wouldn't write it at all.
This abroad experience is going to be amazing I wish I could take you along for the journey, wish i could share with you the real moments of laughter, in depth conversation, and moments that are priceless amoung common people. But what i can share with you is pictures and a diluted written version of the experience.
I have just read my welcome pack and I am most excited about walking in the rain at every opportunity possible :) some say that is highly possible ;) also i am going to join the swim team and get scuba certified so that i can be ready to go to Florida and teach scuba for kids next summer... sounds pretty nice ehh???
Right now I am enjoying a week of Santa Barbara lifestyle which includes activities such as stand up paddle boarding or SUP, meeting fabulous people on the beach like Savannah and Aaron. Watching the sunset where the water becomes a shade of silver and the sky begins to make its appearance into a darkish blue is the most surreal feeling that I know of. Then taking a brisk walk back to my car enjoying the smell of night blooking jasmine and pine along a road in Montecito.
Yesterday evening I enjoyed Jacuzzi time with my Best Friend Sharayah Day toe and my Father! Talking about navigating relationships and time management :/ haha

Looking forward to more SUP s this week, meeting up with Connor, Alec, Shay, Bahtia, Josiah, Amy, Kenny, PHIL, DaD, Coopers, Grandparents! Alex, and Savannah :) i will post pictures instead of talking too much :)
