I REALLY should post things besides fic...
So, I survived my first year as a teacher (HUZZAH!) and am intending to go back next year. In some ways I'm looking forward to it even (one of my VPs told me I needed to get a life when I admitted this.)
Thus far this summer we have made our annual trip to Knobles, an awesome amusement part I wish everyone got a chance to try - it's very old fashioned, but in the fantastic way. (For example? You pay to go ON rides, not get in the park!) We've also been working like MAD on our Ah! My Goddess costumes for Otakon. Bell's under dress is done, and her blue over dress is cut out, but we have to hem and put them together before we start trim and such. Skuld and Urd are basically all in parts, but we have a good sense of where we are going with it. (Bell got to this stage in about a week or so; this makes me much less worried than I was when we were still dragging our feet to start....) My sister is coming with us to Con after she gets back from Italy with Mom. They leave the 15th, which isn't so awesome in the sense that 1/2 (or so) of our creating team will be gone. Dad and I will probably focus on jewelry, trim and my hammer while they're gone.
It'll be amusing 'getting into character'. CBL (my sister) is not passive like Bell is AT ALL. I wouldn't say Kiraya is a match for Urd either (She's got the height for it but not the temper.) Me? I get to squee about ice cream, my sister, equations and making this.
....yeah, really hard to get into character. >D

Hey, that really is a good deal for you! I'm glad to hear that your coworkers are like that... definitely a lot better than the alternative!
