Motorcycle
I have been getting small glimpses of a good ride here and there. I take my bike into town to run errands or I run to the store near by pick up a couple things and then take the long way home (on the highway). I would still like to do a read ride, but I think I'm running out of time this year.
My bike is very similar to the one in the picture but mine has white fairing and saddle bags and the bike itself is black.

Summer draws to an end
Haaken told me this morning that the year is almost over. It is near the end of August and after that comes September, October, November and then December ... he seems to have a point. I had another job interview yesterday. I like the description of the job and I like the excitement of starting something new. The job itself is a new venture for the organization and so that too would be exciting. Unfortunately with all those positives I am definitely getting my hopes up about this job. I will know sometime near the end of the week.
I also have two leads on jobs in schools as an EA. One is the job I had last year (they are going through the whole application process right now) and another possibility that is at the high school. It would be fun to be at the same school as Haaken again even though he has now moved schools. That would also mean that Haaken, Liam, and I would be going to the same area in the mornings since Liam's school is right near the high school (high school starts in grade 7 for the separate school system here). Eventually Erica's office should be moving to that same campus and that would put everyone into that same area. We could all ride together (on the bus?!?!?).
I am registered for two classes this fall in Winnipeg and two classes in the Winter term as well. I am first on the wait list for another class in the winter term, one that I need for my certificate and for my degree. The two classes I take first are Health and Aging, and Children and Adolescence. Similar to classes I took in my undergrad degree. In the second term I take the course that is required to start the practicum courses. The other class I am registered for takes place on a couple of weekends so it does not interfere with any weekday jobs.
As the summer closes out and I get ready to go back to work of some kind, I'll continue to hope for work that I will enjoy and that I can plan around my classes.
