Tomorrow is my first day of class. Today I took in my toolbox and set up my work bench. I took in some cookies I had baked to give to the people who came in a day early to help the instructor out. They were mostly a hit (some people don't like sweets - I pity them...sweets are the best!) and there are no cookies left in the house, so it's a win-win.
It was really odd to see most of my classmates again. I'm not really sure I'm ready to be social with them again. As much as I tell myself that I don't have to be their friend, I find myself talking to them that way anyway. Sometimes I just can't control my mouth...
In other news, I'm trying to decide where to concentrate my job search efforts both for part-time work right now and for "real" work next spring. I know that there isn't much I can do about a job for almost a year from now, but I think I should probably try to decide what area of the world/nation to start looking into. I am of two minds: one says to stay here (the Midwest) where I am comfortable and know people and know the seasons and the other says to give Europe a try. I'm not even sure Europe would be possible, but the Midwest might not either. Guess I will have to spend some time coming up with a game plan and a method for decision making.
