FREEDOM!!!

Today was my second day of being job free. Let me tell ya, it is AWESOME! It is so nice to not be stuck in a cell for eight hours. It is wonderful being on my own time schedule. The only bad thing about not having a job is that I have time to shop which I did today. I bought a dress I really shouldn't have. This is a bad thing to do when you have no income. Here's my way of explaining why I spent too much money on the dress (this will make me feel better). Annie talked with Frances (our hero in Genoa) yesterday. She told us that the women there dress as though they're going to a cocktail party every day. I'm so used to going to work with my hair wet, no makeup on, and wearing the first thing I grab. Looks like we have to step it up a notch. Every trip out of the house is like a fashion show to these people. So you see, I had to buy the dress.

Anyway, I have decided that I will never have an office job again in my life. It is not fitting for my personality. If I never look at an excel chart again, I'll be more than okay. I need to move around, talk with people, and have changes of scenery or at least changes in my daily tasks. I'm really looking forward to teaching English because I think it'll be a great fit for me. Two days out of the office and I'm already so much happier. However, I will miss the people that I worked with. They're the ones you see here in the picture.

Well, the countdown is on big time. I leave for Arkansas on Tuesday....so soon! I am, of course, behind on everything. I'm not feeling stressed anymore though, so that's good. Saturday is our farewell party-the TIFGAP (Traditional Italian Flag Going Away Party). Should be fun!
