one week left of freedom...

I'm in Seattle, and I have a car (finally). But good things come to those that wait! And I got the much-dreamed of Subaru wagon (it even has a sunroof!) hooray for freedom to go places without begging, borrowing or cajoling others for rides!

School starts next week, and apparently it's very intensive. After the meeting I had with them on Monday, I believe them now. So, I might not be having that much fun this next year, but I think it'll be a good program nonetheless. I'll be interning in one classroom during the entire school year which should be interesting. I don't know yet what grade or where, but I'm pretty curious to see how American students are, compared to Japanese, Hungarian and Indonesian students. I'm sure they'll be just as amusing, but I will understand them when they mouth-off to me, and that'll be a change.

So, until next week, I'm enjoying staying in my pajamas past 8:00 am, and having time to read and explore Seattle a little bit. Luckily for me, my cousin who has been subletting my place the past 3 months, is looking for a job now and so has lots of time to play around with me! And I have a great camping trip lined up for this weekend, ah- you gotta love the northwest in the summer.....
