2.5 Weeks

I can’t believe it has been 2 weeks already. If the next 2 years go by this fast I’ll be home in no time.

Everything has been absolutely awesome!! My companions are really cool, I’m learning a ton, my Spanish is getting pretty good, and the food here is great!

This week and last week I’ve been trying to run and get back in shape. I’ve played soccer for the past 11 years but haven’t played in a while. On Tuesday I played and it was waaaaay fun!!

Well… …

Random Shapes, I’m Sorry.

Today is Friday and I’m sitting on my couch listening to Episode 6 of the Random Shapes Podcast. I had nothing to do with the podcast, I barely know the people who made the podcast, but even so they said a lot of really nice things about the network.

Random Shapes is 15 months old. It has gone from 7 members to 70. I’m extremely happy with how it has turned out and where it is heading. But I hate letting it go.

I hate letting it go partly because I’m leaving it extremely unfinished. Random Shapes is all about bringing together awesome teens. In the next version of the site we will be really focusing on that. I’m glad I was able to give my input and help with parts of the site but I won’t be here to …
