Not much to say just thought I'd check in. I got the job for the recreation assistant; I have my orientation in about a week and then I'll start. I have quite a few students who participate in the sports, and students I had last year who do too. So I think it'll be fun.
Work's been pretty good. I know I get on here and complain about it pretty frequently, but I've been feeling pretty good about it. I'm so much busier than I was last year, or any other year really, which just keeps me occupied, focused, and happy. It's when I get bored that my mind wanders! Aside from having more students, more needy students, I feel like I've been putting more into than I normally have. Which you know, when you give more you get more.
I'm back to reading "A New Earth." Which if you remember is a book that was introduced on none other than Oprah (come on, by now you should know that is where I get all my information....I can't help it if me & Oprah are on the same page!) So anyway that's the book where she & the author had a 'class' online to discuss each chapter and everything. The classes are still available on her website so I am following along with those now, because the book can be a little heavy in some spots and the extra discussion is really helpful. It's really all about finding inner peace and thinking positive and all that stuff. And we all know I'm a HUGE believer in positive thinking. It's always nice to be reminded of that and learn new ways of thinking.
Ivan & I went and saw "Nights In Rodanthe" tonight...ummm.... I don't even wanna say it because I was so excited to see this movie...but I really wasn't impressed! I didn't even feel anything throughout the whole movie. I like Diane Lane and Richard Gere and I just expected more I guess? Something didn't click for me, and Ivan felt the same way. But it was so weird, I expected a lot of couples there and was surprised I guess when I saw gobs and gobs of women! And not so many couples. It was so weird--and they'd all laugh, and I'd hear them sniffling or gasping and it just kinda made me wanna puke. I told Ivan--I love Oprah but I don't know if I could go watch it live because there would be too many women! They just bug and give us all a bad name for being so....womanly?! I dunno. Weird.
Still contemplating what to do next summer. Megan and I will be making some arrangements while I'm home over Christmas so I need to figure out if I'm traveling after Europe or coming back home. I go back and forth. I'm worried if I book it I'll be ready to come home after Europe and then I'll be going to Africa for 2-4 weeks. And the communication won't be as readily available in Europe or Africa this time. You know? Ahhh we'll see!
Anyway, guess I'll go.
