So this three day weekend was full of doing as little as possible! it was awesome
Friday, I lounged around, then saw Public Enemies with a friend of mine. The movie was ok - made great by the presence of Johnny Depp in just about every scene.
Friday night I went out on Mill Ave with Brett and some friends because our college friend Cortney came to town! On Saturday, Brett and I went to Cortney's boyfriend's parents' house in Fountain Hills. it is brand new and unbelievable! lets just say it had a castle "motif" (read: size of a castle) and the kitchen island was the size of my living room - and you all know how big my living room is. it was a two story house with an elevator and flat screen TVs everywhere. There was even a TV behind the mirror in the master bath. there were also 3 kitchens, and an outdoor patio with an infinity edge pool! oh yeah, and built in misters along the patio. Needless to say, Brett and I had a blast! we hung out on the patio and in the pool all afternoon - which was impressive because of how hot it should have been but wasn't (see above about pool and misters).
We did pull ourselves away to come home and have our own BBQ and party, we could even see the fireworks from our house! After the party a few of my friends and I decided to see a late night movie, so we headed over to The Proposal. it was cute, but definitely odd as a midnight showing. I haven't been to a movie that late in a long time, and here I am going to do it again in a week. Harry Potter 6 comes out on the 15th! (Yay for being a kid!)
Now it is time to go back to work. This week, and in two weeks, we have training for the new recruitment cycle. it is hard to believe it is time to start looking towards the next year already. I don't feel like I am done with this one. Turns out we might get another Tucson person so maybe this year will be a little easier.
I finished one grad school class this summer and start another one tomorrow. This last one was the hardest one I have had, and the first that really felt like grad school. Let me put it this way, I have been driving to work the last 2 weeks and parking in the visitor lot ($8 a day). I got free parking for 5 of those days because I didnt leave the office before the lot closed at 9pm because I was working on my project. so, the 4th was also a welcome celebration of finishing that class!

Anticipating next year already. Yep, that sounds like teaching. The house sounds nice, if you like that sort of luxury. For comparison picture my front porch constructed of shipping pallets, complete with all the mosquitoes you can slap at.
Glad you got to party a bit and relax! I guess it's a good thing that your hardest class came at a time when you didn't need to be driving to a bajillion high schools each day.
The house sounds great! Bill's new porch is very nice too. I could do without the mosquitos though. Misters are wonderful, eh?
