Sasha's birthday weekend

Puerto Rico -
On Saturday we met at San Telmo and headed off across the island to Puerto Rico. After a long bus journey we arrived, headed off to find a boat tour. Missed one that was going to take us to Mogan for lunch and instead picked a dolphin and whale sight seeing one. Only cost 10 euros which was really good and they told us if we didn't see anything we could come again for free. Really enjoyed it at the start but it went on really too long - 3 and a half hours and Sasha got really vommy and I knew if I moved much I did too. As we were coming back into port we had to move from the top deck and I got sick and vommed over the back of the boat. We didn't see any whales or dolphins. We're going back this weekend but Sasha has vowed not to get back on the boat.

Hung about on the beach for a bit afterwards and then headed back to Las Palmas. The idea was to go out in the evening for Sasha's birthday but she felt really sea sick all night so we stayed in in the end and will save Kahlua for another night.

Sunday was a lazy day but Alex and I managed to go for a run in the evening. We didn't stop once which is an improvement. 2.64km.

On Monday I posted off my midyear report to uni and after Tafira headed to Sasha's to decorate the flat and then go out for a meal. Conny has come down with some vile flu so didn't come out with us but the rest of us had a lovely time. Sasha loved her presents and rang all her family to tell her what we'd got her.

4th January 2007!

God it's been absolutely ages since I've written anything here. I thought seeing as I'm sitting in England wasting time before I fly home today that I'd update a little bit. I've been home for 2 weeks seeing in Christmas and the New Year with family. I got to see Rob twice which was really lovely but the thing is I've settled straight back into normal. I feel like it's the uni holidays and I've got nowhere else to be. I've completely forgotten this life I've begun in Gran Canaria. I can't be bothered to learn spanish, I can't be bothered to study. I've got a mid-year report due in at the start of February and I don't know where to start with it. I have no impetus to work. I can't imagine going back to my flat and starting back at school. I know I've been in Gran Canaria for the past 3 months but it feels like a dream. It feels like it's over and now I can be Carolyn again. I think that's what I've just got used to over Christmas - being me. Now it all has to change again.

This sounds ridiculous! lol. I'll be back in the swing of things in no time and I'll think I was high when I wrote this...but I honestly am getting tired of to-ing and fro-ing. It'll be nice when this and uni is over and I can just be Carolyn...starting out her own life not filling time like this.

Love you Rob. x
