After a long tiring flight (and two days recovery) I am back in Boca and ready to take the new year by storm. My holiday home was amazing! Being back home in the Cape Town summer is enough to make anyone want to stay there forever. I have tons of gorgeous photos and plenty of exciting stories, ranging from stroking cheetahs to rock jumping into the Atlantic Ocean. However, you will have to wait to hear all my holiday stories until tomorrow, as today is my first day as the Graduate Assistant in the Marketing Department.

Thus far, everything has been terrific. After reading all my fellow bloggers blogs, I realized I had better update mine. It takes a while getting used to the internet, as I haven’t used it in ages. My parents have finally ordered high speed internet at our house in South Africa. After living in the US for the last 3 years, and enjoying the luxury of wireless internet, my father is struggling to get used to twiddling his thumbs for 20 minutes while waiting for a page to upload! So, he has ordered high speed, which takes over six weeks to install! (TAFY: That’s Africa For You!).

I have many plans for this upcoming year, both as a Grad. Assistant and in my personal life. I have many great ideas that I can’t wait to get the ball rolling on. On a personal level, I have started swimming in the morning. I also have a list of things I want to do… and I’m going to actually do them. This year is all about lists and ticking things off one at a time.
