So, you’re probably asking yourself, what does Pearl do with her free time when she’s not attending classes, or required labs, or doing homework, or listening to Spanish radio, or watching spanish soap operas or blogging? or even running errands for her parents?
Well first off, I’m going to learn how to swim this year. That’s right, I have never learned to swim. Well actually, thats not true. I have taken swimming lessons many times in the past but I just could not conquer my fear of going in the deep water.
However, I want to learn. There have been many occassions in my life where I stood at the edge of a pool and wanted to dive in. Haven’t you ever wanted to do something that you felt was not obtainable at the moment? Something absolutely out of the ordinary in your life? My son recently went skydiving. Man oh man, I give him so much credit for taking that first step in actually going ahead and making the appointment and doing it. I thought it was awesome that he did it and now he can move on (with both feet planted on the ground). He got it out of his system and thank god he did because I would not be able to handle his taking this up as a sport.
My first swimming class will be at the end of this month. I know I can float. Its something I do very well in fact….lol I don’t think I have to worry about sinking to the bottom. All I would have to do is roll over on my back and just float. Nature takes its course with some of us, I guess.
I don’t think my life could ever be in the slow lane. I have way too many things I want to do. Way too many things I want to see and way too many people I want to play with.
