Ms. Laura how was the play. Was it funny or inspiring to you??
Life here has been good. Filled with lots of work and little play, but okay. I just had 2 days off which was really nice. I spent some relaxation time on the beach while planning my itinerary for when I can start traveling in April. I also may be doing a nelson lakes mountain hike on monday if the weather is agreeable.
In recent news, I'm moving on Saturday. I'll be leaving my wonderful home at the bug. I'm moving to another hostel which is right in the very center of town. I wont be cleaning anymore which means I'll be paying rent. I'll be living in one room with 5-6 other travelers who are also working in nelson for a while to save money. I think the change is a good one. It allows me to meet a lot more people my age from all over the world who are travelling as well. Since they will be staying in nelson for a while they will make good friends for doing activities. On the other hand I'm sad to leave the bug b/c it's got such a great kitchen, friendly owners, perfect size, free internet and I only share my room with 2 people---not 6! The hostel where I'll be moving to on saturday is called accents on the park and its just below.

With the change means my whole work schedule will be changed as well. I'll work split shifts 4 days a week with 3 days off. Split shifts go from 11-2 and 6-11:30. I'm still at the waterfront. It's gotten pretty busy with tourists, but the other 4 waitresses I work are so funny. We often laugh through the stress which makes it nice.
And I'm really learning how to cook here! I've perfected the quessidilla. I put mushrooms, sweet corn, spinach, onions, beans, cheese, tomatoes in it. Put some sour cream and salsa on the side and you've got the best quesiddilla ever! Here I made a fattachinee alfredo with mushrooms and chicken inside it. It was so freakin good!!
Me and Maddie (my fellow waitress friend) went out for a great night last saturday. There is a great night life here in nelson. Being from nelson maddie seemed to know so many people at the bars. We danced the night away. There were so many people out on the streets. People of all different ages from all over the world dancing, playing pool, talking....it was awesome!
I had a wonderful valentines day thanks to Nate! He sent me flowers with a wonderful card and a nice video saying hello. I miss him a lot and it often makes me a bit homesick, but I'm happy that we will be living together over the summer. While I'm here we're planning on putting together a summer goal list which of course will include restaurants,surfing, hiking, cooking and a nice trip to canada.
I still cant decide on Peace Corps or thearound the world trip. I've got to figure out the finances of the around the world trip before I actually commit to it. I'll do that when I get back I think. Hope all is well with everyone. Please please please update me on how you are doing!!! What you've been up to etc. I really enjoy reading what you guys have been doing back in Berkeley!
