This year has brought many changes to my life, however, I have tried to stick with the things that I am used to doing.

At the beginning of the year my father died. Even though it was not difficult for me, It was for my mother. We had to help her with the mourning period.

Then, after being working for 5 years in the same place, I was relocated. I started working in Alajuela. This year has been very difficult to me since I live in Cartago. I spend a lot of time driving. So this year I have been behind the wheel so much time. Situation that with the rainy season has increased because there are more traffic jams. Besides all that I have been tired and exhausted lately because the load of work is a lot.

This year I wanted to study something else; that is why I got into the university to study photography. I have been taking two courses, introduction to digital photography and photoshop I. I have been learning how to use the camera properly and different techniques in order to take good pictures.I have been motivated; however all this is time consuming, and when I put everything together, work, commute, university, exercise, and family; the situation is tiring. 

In the past recent days, I have been feeling excited and happy; since I got a tenure for next year. I am going to be working a place near home. Knowing that has made me happy.

This year is almost finishing and I have been planing my vacation period. I am going to travel to Miami and Chicago; so I hope to visit all the landmarks that I want.

I know that we can'y foresee what is coming but next year I hope to continue with all the projects I have.
