For Lack of Anything Better to Write About
I appear to be living a very dull, routine life at the moment, explaining the lack of posts. Since I keep getting angry e-mails from some of you girls, I guess I better go ahead and update anyway.
Work: Only three more days of work left (Wed., Fri., Sat.). Although I enjoy my job, for the most part, I am going to be happy to bring an end to my employment there. I spend way to much time wandering aimlessly, looking for something to do. They schedule me for six hours even though I only have four hours worth of work to do. I'll be going back to my old job at the golf course as soon as school is out. I'm not yet sure whether I am dreading it or looking forward to it. All in all, working means more money for my four months in Europe. So I'll work as much as I can if it means the difference between riding a gondola in Venice or sitting in my room while all my friends go travel.
School: Only about a week and a half left. I still have quite a bit of work left to do though and I haven't even begun studying for finals yet. I have five finals next week. One will be really hard, one sorta easy, and the other three somewhere in between. On top of all this work I am packing up my room and preparing to move all my junk back home. It looks as if a bomb has exploded in one of my closets and all the victims of the blast are strewn about my room. I was trying to organize things- a box of stuff I won't need until I live on my own again, a box of stuff for when I start teaching, a box of stuff that I will need while at home. But my organization system broke down sometime this afternoon and I am now just placing stuff in whichever box has room. I'll just have to sort it out this summer when I have the time. Which means never.
Germany: My plans are really starting to come together. Aimee and I have bought all of our major plane tickets. We will be leaving for New York City on August 14 and staying there for four days, crashing with some of her friends. We still have to find a hotel for the first night we get there, because we will be flying in late and we don't want to be traveling in an unknown city at night. JFK airport has lots of hotels within a quarter of a mile, so it shouldn't be hard to find something. Although we have ideas of what we want to do and see in NY, we haven't been able to get down to the nitty-gritty yet. We are pretty sure about going to see a Yankees game, though. (That would make it my fifth major league baseball park. So cool!) We leave NY and fly into London on August 18. We aren't sure yet where we are going after that. We have a week and a half before we have to report to Hanau and the elementary school for teacher in-services and training. Our travel plans depend on when we will be able to move into the army barracks. So we teach, and hopefully travel, for four months. Our last day of teaching is December 8th , and we fly from London into NY and then Phoenix on December 13th. So there are lots of nebulous areas where we will have to start thinking about expanding and finalizing our travel plans. It's that time inbetween London and Hanau that we don't know what to do with.
What I'm Looking Forward To This Summer: Hiking Camelback Mountain. This one still kicks my butt.
