assorted sentences about current state:

- Guess it's not a my-style vacation without me somehow hurting my foot in a stupid way. (Mirror falling on me in the bathroom = fail).

- The estimated page lengths for the last part of Brambles is ... 9 pgs + 2 pgs + 4 pgs...? Buh. Whatevs, it's something to think about in a few months.

- Feeling pretty productive this summer!

- Living in China = so cheap and fun, even if the bowels doth protest sometimes.

- Haven't had a good night's sleep since return from Tanzania. :-/

- Nervous about the months after return:

August:
--> School meetings start 2 days after I get back, and school proper starts 5 days after I get back.
--> Spending the weekend in Indiana for a wedding 6 days after I get back.
--> 2 new classes, one of which I don't get the curriculum for until 2nd day getting back.

September-November:
--> Dealing with the new classes will probably continue to take 2-3 extra hours of prepping per day.
--> Weekends will be occupied by a lot of Chinese school stuff as we handle some transitions -- especially in September.
--> Hopefully I'll find the time to prepare for APE (if I actually get a table -- won't hear back until Aug.) If I want to have Brambles ready for APE I'll have to work all September on it. If I don't have time due to Chinese School and regular school, Brambles will have to be pushed to November.
--> October will be sewing month -- Halloween costumes, new bag, and I owe Joanne Christmas/birthday present.
