Finished the application tonight, read it over and over and sent it in, twice by accident I think. At least they'll know how badly I want them to receive it. As a reward I caught up on an episode of the Real World Cancun, and I've come to notice that as the seasons go on the cast members get more and more immature. It's still pretty early into this one but they've had a boys vs girls split already and you know I bet no one really cares to be reading about that drama. But I enjoy the show nonetheless because it's original and I've grown up with it.

Today I tried out a new route home, it's easier to come up Winchester rather than take Beacon street all the way through to Washington. The only draw back is the hill at the end is a little longer but less steep so it'll probably be good for when I'm riding home really tired. On this experimental route ride I found a red wicker basket on the front lawn of a house. Inside of it there was a pair of tattered white open-toe shoes. Looking around I emptied the shoes and measured the basket up to the front of my bike. I think it'll fit a little snug but I have to move around one of the reflectors in order for it to fit at all.

The next step in the application process is a phone interview sometime with in the next two weeks, tuesday-friday. What's crappy about this is that I had to request a phone call at 9:45 am because during all of the other time slots I'd be at work. What's even more crappy is that since I'll be in VA on vacation next week they could call any day then too and I have to be up at 9:30 every day just in case. Boooo

I think I'm going to cut out of work early this week to go to NY earlier, the As Tall As Lions show at the Paradise this weekend sold out already for Saturday night so I'm thinking I'll work an earlier shift Thursday, then cut right to the bus station to get to Manhatten in time to see them open in Union Sq. Which works out perfectly because the subway right there goes straight to Katie's place in bk, or Rohan's even. It'll be nice to be home for a day or two before leaving for vaca too, make sure everythings packed, hopefully see some friendly faces, etc.

I guess I should pack my bag here tomorrow then, I'm really hoping to have room to bring my peeeellow.

buenos noches
I went back to my livejournal for more private things after returning from abroad, now I'm here just to say hey I'm back and want to bloggggg blog blog

This past weekend I went to Bourne on the Cape and reunited with many delightful people. I came back to Boston feeling entirely refreshed which was surprising considering how hungover and tired I should've felt after sleeping a mere 15 hours from thursday to sunday night.

It really amazes me how these bonds haven't loosened, you know I'm not the best person at keeping in touch with other people by any means but once we were all face to face it was as if we'd never left Rome and were just somewhere nearby for another one of our international weekends.
The host of the weekend, Mr. Steve Juckett, blew us all away with his amazing hospitality, itenarary for the weekend and his stunning parents who took care of us all weekend and beautiful home that was open to us all. Each morning we woke up to fresh coffee, bagels, doughnuts, muffins, cereal, fresh fruit, a full table spread. We were supplied with coolers filled with beer, a barbeque one night, a million pizza pies the next, simply the nicest people ever.

The biggest highlight for me for the weekend was Ms. Kate Walker herself her flew in all the way from Wawatosa WI just for our little get together. In true Ddubs fashion she went to bed early each night (I mean around 1/2am we're all just insane and up until we see the sky getting light, then we rush to bed before it's too late) Really I think it's like that because we genuinely enjoy each others company so much and knew the time together this weekend was limited so we rode it to the fullest.

I'm really putting off sending in the rest of my CELTA application. It's the original reason why I brought my laptop out of my room in the first place, to focus, a lot of good that's done for me thus far. For the first time in my life I've been doubting myself and my ability to accomplish something that I really want to do, i.e this program and living abroad for a few years to kick off this potential career. Career? yikes, the word salary has been really irking me lately. Do I want a salary? People are so worried about job security and such and I don't even want that because I'm afraid of getting stuck doing something I don't like or will like for a little while and get stuck in and tired of not soon after. I have some growing up to do.

Recently I've realized this is partially the reason why I have so much trouble with men. Really though what happens happens and I'm still trying to figure out myself and exactly what I'm looking for. Part of it I know, and some more I've learned about over the last few months, I hope the rest will come with experience and time, trials and tribulations as well I guess.

sigh oh growing older, hopefully wiser?

ok enough is enough, if I don't finish this before the weekend I'm going to be very upset with myself.

I'll be back soon
