September Already

I cannot believe its already September! I have been here 2 and a half months and it just blows my mind. So much is happening this month I hope I can keep up with it all. Usually I have to go to work for 10 am but every Saturday I am going to have to go in for 8AM! A company wants a 2 balloon arches for every Saturday in September and of course this month there are 5 Saturdays boooo. I know that sounds so very exciting but this is what is happening right now so that is what I am writing! All my friends are leaving in the next few weeks so it means two things. #1- I have to go out a lot to say goodbye and #2 I have to find new friends hahaha. The last one leaves around the 20th and Joanna is coming around the 22nd so at least I will have someone for a few more weeks. So Jean Phillip, Jenna, Jerome, June….and Yolanda (I know a lot of J’s). are leaving to either go back to Canada or to go back to their schools so being the old one of the group I am the only one not going back to school. This makes me miss school and I am thinking I should take some courses when I get home because there is much to learn! So that is a lesson to all my cousins…Stay in school as long as you can!!!! The “real world” is not as fun.

I went to Brighton this week (not Bath) on my day off and I have to say Chicago must relinquish its title as the windy city because Brighton is by far the windiest. I couldn’t believe this was the beach people come to swim in because the beach wasn’t what I am used to since it is all rocks and I like my beaches sandy. It was soooo cold and windy the few people in the water should have had their heads examined. It was a fun time though it had a carnival set up on the pier and there were tons of casino type games and even a place with old time (1890s-1920s) machines. My friend and I tried out the fortune teller machine and it reminded me of the movie Big but nothing major happened to me the next morning…I was mildly disappointed. My fortune wasn’t all that exciting either but it was only 20 pence so it was all in good fun. All in all Brighton was ok but I liked Oxford better.

The weather is still pretty cold and so I have made peace with the fact that summer has been over for a few weeks and it will never come back. Bye Bye Sun Hello Rain!
