Our biodynamic conference is winding down, finally marking the end of the insanity here, at least for awhile. Three straight weeks of having every room filled and working as a hotel manager has me exhausted! The exhaustion certainly led to a nice change of pace, though! I can hardly believe that February is most of the way over!

Also, I have all sorts of plans churning in my head for the near future. Dr. Aaron Katz, of Columbia University, has hired me as a virtual assistant, meaning that I am now working two jobs. Somehow I am attending school full-time online and working two jobs. I can hardly believe it myself! As long as I can work everything out, I will probably take a full-time job that Dr. Katz is offering me when I get back from Costa Rica and work for his new company doing public relations and marketing in New York City until the summer is over. I am pretty excited! Plus, I am going to graduate from college with such a killer resume.

On non-business related terms, things here have been really good generally. My Spanish is improving by leaps and bounds and we got so busy that Steven hired a really nice 20-year-old office assistant named Rebecca. We are becoming fast friends and she is trying to learn English while I learn Spanish. She asked if I wanted to come to her Salsa dancing class with her tonight and I think I probably will. Despite my attempts to prove otherwise, I am not all business all the time!

This week will also mark my move from my host family's house to the hotel. Now that I have seen how suffocating being at work all day, every day can be I am not sure if I actually want to move, though! I'll have to consider it, since I really like Walter and Giselle and I would miss them if I moved out permanently. Also, Gianna is coming to stay with me starting on March 1 and I am so excited to see somebody from home! I gave her a list of things I really missed from the US (Sour Patch Kids and hair dye, mostly) and hopefully she will pick up the things on it and bring them for me!! At least the hair dye, because I think people are beginning to suspect that I am not naturally platinum blonde after two months of root growth!
