A few months ago, I moved to this cute little house out to the country. Before I moved, all I did was sit to coffee shops and read or surf the Internet. Boring! Now I want to spend all my free time outside, enjoying nature. The only problem is, I’m not to very good shape, so I don’t like doing any sports, or anything that involves a lot of exercise. I tried hiking once, but I fell down a hill and hurt my leg. Don’t get me wrong, 1 love the outdoors— but what I really want is something I can do quietly in nature.

I live to a big city, so I love being around lots of people. My brother is completely the opposite—last weekend, he took me to the country to go bird-watching. I was so bored the whole time. I like talking to people and doing creative things. I’d just love to get all my friends together at my apartment in the city and do something. We could have a dinner party, maybe. Or we could bring over some guitars and drums, and stuff like that, and sing and dance!

Exercise is really important to me. I like doing things where I keep active, things that are good for your health.

My roommate isn’t like that at all, though—he wakes up and surfs the Internet for hours. Then he plays his guitar in his room all afternoon. Yuck! I just hate sitting around indoors! I especially hate surfing the Internet I want to meet other people. I also want to get out and visit new places, like out to the country, where you can see some real nature.

I’m not so young anymore, so I don’t really like going to parties or working out at the gym all the time. I don’t like hiking around to nature, either. I like to do things that develop my mind or things that teach me about other countries and places. What I really love is history. To me, a good history book is a lot more exciting than a fancy dinner party, or some concert, or a big baseball game. And now there’s a lot of great historical information on the Internet, too! I’m not one of those old ladies who sits at home and collects stamps. For me, learning something new is a real adventure!
