new things
I was lucky enough to start my year off with sandy feet on the bank of the Orange River, under a glowing, full moon. It was the end of a wonderful 4 day river rafting trip, and after a first shower in days, our group of friends was ready to welcome the new year with a big, festive night. I think we missed midnight by a few minutes, but the ultimate freedom of not wearing watches and not being tied down by time was indescribable. The fireworks were beautiful, the champagne a bit warm, but the vibe magical. Maybe the last few days of 2009 were a sign of what's in store for 2010: Hard work, pushing boundries, conquering the elements, but as reward a fantastic feeling of personal accomplishment, closer relationships and having a lot of fun in the process. A change is a good as a holiday. So I've made sure that 2010 will be a year of change. I have ten more working days left before I'm officially unemployed. At the end of this month I'll be a full-time student again....
