Life on the go
I got back to Chicago on the 28th of August. I will be heading back to the district on Saturday, the 23rd. I've been home for less than a month. I still have stuff in boxes here at the office, and one of my boxes accidently made it to our Chicago storage unit. (We're rescuing it tomorrow, when we go get some things for the fall programs). Running Fall programs still isn't real to me. The structure will be different enough that I think it will be like running a whole new program. I'm at at the same point I was before the summer started - nervous. But really, how badly could we mess up at this point? I have 17-27 kids in a session, and a Program Director (or two) as TAs. We'll see. I'll most likely be gone until the 15th of October, maybe the 22nd.
The atmosphere in the office is odd as well - I wouldn't use the word 'unstable,' but no one seems really sure of anything at the moment. I know I have a job...but that's about it. Maybe some absolutes when we have our meeting this week? Probably not. Life in general seems pretty fluid and ambiguous.
On a lighter note - I don't know what to be for Halloween. Kat and I have been looking at costumes online, but nothing has really captured our imagination. Last year was Hermione (Harry Potter) and the year before that, a pirate. The two years before that, I was in Austin for a rowing competition. Let me know if you have any bright ideas...
