Good times.

Sundays are probably my favorite day of the week... when I am doing something that requires me to know what day of the week it is. This last week has been challenging for me, even though it will probably prove to be the least draining work-week I will have here. And of course, instead of using Friday night to sleep and heal myself, I chose to attend a party at the Big House, whre I drank too much in too little time and sang my heart out with my friend Mike who knows practically every Jack Johnson song there ever was. So the night was rad, and the following day was spent reminscing about what a bad idea the past night was.



Lucky for me, I am enjoying living on Lamma. My apartment is probably the most normal out of all of them. And my roommates are really cool, which makes coming home really fun. Here's us: We are all different in some ways, but the same in most ways. And normally I wouldn't go searching for it... but living here, man, it's just damn fun to hear about everyone's gossip!! Especially because our house has been a bit fuller since the drunk boat party. Two of us have gained new roommates, and that makes discussion at home even better when it is just the four of us girls. The only problem is that everyone lives together here, so it has been really tough for me to seperate my personal life from my professional life. Luckily, the people here don't really take offence when the personal part starts to creep into the professinoal part, or vice versa. Why, not 48 hours ago I was stupidly throwing beer cans at one of my bosses. And though I'm pretty sure I will hear more about it another time, I don't think my facilitation skills are being judged by my tipsy antics. Which is nice, because I am pretty sure that I would not be a very solid facilitator after a few cold ones.


So I have my schedule til the end of October. I really only have two weeks with students this month. Next week will be spent doing projects, because there aren't any kids. But the projects seem to be pretty cool as well. I am doing some sort of orienteering course, there are other people who are doing food projects, and other people who are doing environmental assessments of the land we are using. (RAD!) I don't think I would head back out here for another round of work, but I think for the time that I am here, I can still learn a lot. Plus, I got an email from the woman who runs LEAPYear, telling me that I can continue on to the next round of applications, which means I get a phone interview! Woo! All that won't even start until August of 09 but I have been wanting to work for them for some time. So not only is that exciting, but it also means that my pending trip to Guatemala this winter will really be good for something, because with LEAPyear I would be leading trips in South America.


Tonight is girls night in, here at the house. We are having a sushi party and probably watching a movie we can all laugh ourselves to tears with. Good times, baby. Good times. :)
