(no subject)
Last day off here at SIG is doneee. One week left. The fact that I work so many hours on a given day (7:30 am until 11pm) makes me go from really liking this job because everyone I work for and with is pretty chill and I'm generally entertained at all times (yesterday I got to go to the Jersey Shore all day with 75 children) to wanting to go home (wherever that is now) so that I can have a life OUTSIDE of this job again, since I don't actually have time for anything besides SIG while I'm here. I desperately needed a break from the complete lack of structure I had at home, though, so I'm cool with it. Only 3 weeks, afterall.
I didn't do much on my day off, went out last night, spent the day today reading in the local coffeeshop here, browsing through Borders and watching Food, Inc. at the local theater. I just ordered Chinese food online and I was sort of convinced it wasn't going to come since I didn't talk to an actual person. Sometimes technology is funny. Student Talent Show just happened and I was impressed. Tomorrow is the staff talent show, which I am super-psyched for. The people I work with seem to be hella talented. Most of us are performing in a skit playing each other. I haven't read it yet, but apparently it involves me singing "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" with one of the campers. Oh boy.
I leave for Brighton in about 10 days now. It's only been about a year since I was last there and up until a certain point this year, I could've slipped right back into my life in Brighton like I'd never left. Sometime in the last few months or so, though, it's actually started to feel like it has been quite awhile since my time at Sussex and that a lot of things have actually changed since then. I'm very excited to go back, however. I literally cannot wait to see everyone. I even have a new mission to take part in this newly discovered 6-month internship visa that the UK government has sometime soon if I can figure out the logistics of it and find a paid internship.
I really hope I like Prague and teaching English. Eek!
On a side note, while I was on the bus on the way to the Jersey Shore, I re-remembered that in the past I'd considered being a traveling tour guide/trip oversee-er for a one of those companies for 18-30ish year olds like Contiki Tours or something. Not only would I get to travel, but I'd get to meet lots of people all the time and that would be a pretty effing sweet job. Plan B?
