If you thought I stank then you should get a wiff now. I couldn´t have expressed it better. I MISS SKATEBOARDING WITH MY FRIENDS. I can´t even tell anyone here this because no one would understand what I´ve given up to be here. But its great and it will make it so much better when i return. but now more than ever two years feels so long. I hope you guys are having a blast everything here is cool just getting through this training is wearing. It will be worth it when I get to my site and start working. I´m waiting on the software for my camera that my mom is sending and then I´ll be able to send pics. LAte.
