It is scary how fast the end of a semester comes. Do you know that moment when it hits you how much work you have? I just got beat up by that moment!
This semester I am talking five courses and I am not complaining about it but I have A LOT of work!!
For my politics class I have to write a 10 pages paper and my problem isn’t the obvious "too long", it’s the annoying "WOW I can write so much about this". I sat down to write my introduction the other day and ended up with 4 pages!!! I realized it is much harder to make a paper shorter than it is to make it longer. I love my paper and it keeps getting better every time I do research.
For my marketing class I have a group project that is quite big but soo much fun. We are supposed to choose a product and analyze the marketing strategy. We chose the new NIKE MV Superfly cleats (the ones that Christian Ronaldo uses).
For my Economics I have a presentation I have to do. It is quite difficult to choice a subject that is presentable because economics is mostly numbers, but I think I can cook something up.
We also have a few quizzes in my last two classes but nothing as serious as the ones I mentioned. The best part about all of this is that it will all be over soon and I can enjoy the summer. It not really that bad having soo much work because I feel like I deserve the vacation afterwards and honestly it feel like I am going to need this one instead of deserve it.

Aquatic Spring Break

I have learned that being spontaneous is one of the most liberating and sometimes rewarding attributes to have. My plan for this past spring break was to go to Lisbon and spend it with my mother and 2 of my sisters. We had plans to travel somewhere, either eastern Europe or simply take the car to somewhere in Spain. After a long discussion and not really deciding what we wanted to do, we were watching TV and there was a show about fish and my sister at that point said that she had always wanted to learn how to scuba-dive. That is what I did all spring break, LEARN HOW TO DIVE!!
It was such a surprise. I had never even considered scuba-diving, I had bungee jumping, sky diving and vertical climbing on my list of things to do, but scuba-diving had never even crossed my mind. We called a scuba-diving center and took a 5 day intensive course. We learned everything from the physics of diving , managing our equipment to how to react underwater in case of an emergency. The most incredible thing was that during our third open water dive our dive master (instructor) saw a group of fish and signaled us to follow them, so we did so as fast as we could, not knowing what was so special about these fish. Later on, we surfaced only to discover that they were extremely rare fish to the point that during 20 years of diving our dive master has only seen them once before. It was so exhilarating realizing that we were part of that, you need to try it to know what I am talking about. Another thing you never forget is your first breath underwater, it is such a unique feeling and it never leaves your memories. The atmosphere in general was very friendly and happy, divers are a very welcoming group. We made friends, learned a lot and most importantly got a diving LICENSE!!!
Now My sister and I have planned several diving trips, we have our little thing :)
