Pure Bliss

Moments after the Spurs became the 2014 NBA Champs. Yes, I took a photo of the television. 

 The San Antonio Spurs are the 2014 NBA Champions!!! I’m a HUGE fan, so couldn’t be more thrilled, especially after last year’s heartbreaking loss in Game 6 of the Finals.

If I wasn’t watching the game in Apia

then I was watching the game at a new resort near my village. The resort has satellite TV, which is the best thing to happen to my village life and my love for sports. It’s a very expensive resort, so I’m trying to limit my time there.

The beautiful Saletoga Sands 

Once the Spurs became the champs, I finished my pizza, paid my bill, and then headed to the resort next door. Why didn’t I stay at the new resort? Because everyone from my village works there, whereas the older resort isn’t nearly as busy so the staff is limited. This means I can have more privacy and the beach to myself.

Anyway, I went on the beach and enjoyed the big victory. It was a great feeling; I literally jumped for joy!

Pure happiness

In other news, I've officially finished my 6th term teaching in a Samoan primary school! I have just two terms left! School was released early on Friday, so I headed to the resort for a celebration. I can't believe my time in Samoa is coming to an end.

How am I spending my holiday? I get one week off. I started it at the resort on Friday, spent all day in on Saturday, and I went to church on Sunday. I'm in Apia right now. On Wednesday I plan on going to my favourite beach resort in Lalomanu. Then I'll come back to Apia for the weekend to see a friend who's coming from New Zealand and go out with a fellow PCV.

Here’s to less than 6 months left in Samoa!
