Update

Sorry it's been so long. There were a few times that I tried to post and ran into Blogger problems. I could also say that my life just hasn't been very exciting, but in truth, things are just finally starting to pick up.

Last Monday the department had our 'end of year Do' at the dog track. It was great!! I won a couple of races and lost a few, but had a wonderful time with the gang. I'm really going to miss those guys! We even got to go down to the track and present a dog with its trophy. I'm not exactly sure how that came about but I have been promised a copy of the picture for proof.

Last weekend I met Jennifer in London and had a blast!! She was here on business and stayed through the weekend. We had dinner together Friday night. Then Saturday we saw Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Harrods, Camden Market and ran around the city. Sunday, she left for the airport and I went to the Tower of London. My favorite had to be Harrods. We spent all of our time in the food section: eating lunch, picking up danishes for next morning's breakfast, eating ice cream and shopping. I had such a good time with Jennifer - she's wonderful!!

The last week of school was not bad. The kids were sweet when I told them I was leaving, even the ones I expected to be rude weren't too bad. I still have a little more to do, so I am going in on Tuesday...

Next week I will be homeless. Well, sort of... I will spend 17 days (of the 21 I have left in Europe) traveling. My flatmate has been kind enough to let me store my stuff here while I am away and will let me crash on the couch between trips before I fly to Atlanta. Which means I won't have regular internet access, or international phone access for that matter. I will try to check-in whenever possible, though, and will try to post while away.
