First I'll start by saying I made some skateboarding friends in Puerto La Cruz, a bunch of really good guys. I stayed at my friend Rafael's house and we skated and hung out until the morning light. Then in the morning, they all started up drinking again, and started the day anew. I sure can't keep up, but I'll blame it on being sick.
The following weekend was Thanksgiving, and Marshall and I came up with a game plan to make it to Playa Medina, supposedly one of the best beaches around. It took us 2 1/2 days to finally get there, and we were able to spend the day there. Because of time constraints we had to leave the following morning, but it was a goal well worth setting.
After, I flew out to the job fair in Atlanta, to try to find an international teaching job. The first day I just hated being there, and thought it was a waste of time. The second day I loved being there, and wanted to move back to the states. I got an offer that I couldn't refuse from a big school in Venezuela, I accepted.
This changes the dynamic here at my school for me. There has been a power shift, and it's for the better. Next year huge changes are going to occur here, some for the better, and some for the worse. I almost wish they would have had their figures in about a month ago so I wouldn't have had to spend the money in Atlanta, but on the bright side I came out with a nice job in a big city.
Now things are falling into place at my school, and I kind of wish I was here to build it back up again. They tried lowballing Jason and Jacques, but gave Marshall and I decent offers. I had to decline, but it would have been interesting to stay to say the least.
I'm flying back to LA for Christmas because I'm still sick, and trying to make the best out of my 3 days off before I do. Isla Margarita here I come!
