The second semester of this 10-year program started on January 16^th and it will end on June 30^th. That means there are only a few more weeks before the end of the semester. It’s amazing how fast this first year passed. At this rate, ten years are going to pass in a blink of an eye. Some days do pass slower than others; the clock doesn’t seem to work at a normal speed.

During this period we’re going to have a few guests here to give a different flavor to the daily life. It’s always good to have different people here.

After these weeks of continuous hard training, we have about a week vacation until the summer seminars start. Because of my Visa situation I have to leave the country every six months, so, on my vacation I’m going to Canada to hike on Vancouver Island. It’s going to be about a day and a half traveling by bus to get there, five days of walking, camping, observing nature and meeting new people (hopefully!!). I can’t wait to go there. I still have to buy some gear, book the tickets and take care of some other stuff, but I think it will be nice.

July 10^th, the seminars start. We’re going to cook, clean and help on the seminars on the subjects that we train and have the necessary skill to give a good example. During a period of six weeks, six weekly seminars will be held. It will be good for us to learn more advanced stuff and also to meet new people. I really hope for these two events. I think I’ll enjoy a lot.
