When in doubt, RUN!
I so don't want to deal with my life right now (no, it's not bad, I just don't want to deal with it.) so I've decided to find some place warm to spend Christmas and New Years.
Maybe Morocco. Or Argentina. Or Chile. -
More Worldly Insanity
So I'm off for another European adventure in July. I'm going to Brussels, for the most part, although I am taking a sidetrip down to Barcelona to visit some friends. The plane ticket cost me about $160 - taxes included. A train ticket? Almost $500. *boggle*
While over there I'm hoping down to Paris, for a day, and hopefully to Luxembourg as ( Read more... ) -

The Olympic Moment. Or How I Carried The Olympic Torch.
There are 5 rules. 5 rules to remember when carrying the Olympic Torch. Unfortunately, I only remember three of them. The first rule - smile.

House Situation
So, the house has been sold, and the new people take possession on July 15th. This is all fine - my only question is:
What happens to my last months rent? And the interest incurred on that? I've been here 4.5 years - actually, by the time they take possession, it'll be 4 years and 10 months and 2 weeks.

Onto the next step
I have my French oral test on the 13th. I just got the email today. So, one step closer for the teaching job. The good thing is that both of the jobs I'm in competition for (the Legistic Revisor, and the teaching position) but require a B in Oral Interaction, so if I pass this test, I won't have to do it again for 5 years ( Read more... )
