studying and surfing

well, less of the surfing....just pretending to be surfer chick with my lovely tan and sun -bleached blonde hair as am now in surfer capital of nicaragua! Was going to learn to surf here but apparently the surf isn´t very good right now (cant see why not, there are waves, but apparently you need more than just waves....as you can prob tell, not doingv well on integrating into surfer lifestyle) so have enrolled myself in a spanish school for a week. 4 hours 1-1 tuition for the next 5 days---must be mad! Certainly felt less than energised when i got to school today after a horrid nights sleep c/o dorm living and after 4 hours of learning the past tense and being forced to speak spanish i just wanted to crawl into bed and never wake up. But if i am ever going to get fluent (or rather, my new goal of being not entirely incomprehensible) in spanish, i am going to have to endure the torment! And this way i get to stay put in one place for a while. My hostel even has a kitchen so stocked up on fruit and veg and indulged myself in salad and melon for lunch. now theres a phrase that doesn´t often come out of my mouth!
