It has been way too long! John got a new job working at Conservice, which has worked out really well for us, except that I get super bored while he's gone all day. So I've had to try and find new things to do. I've been doing a lot of cooking and cleaning, and luckily I've had a bunch of tutoring jobs to keep me sort of busy, even though the people I'm tutoring just don't seem to be understanding a word I'm saying most of the time. One drawback to all the tutoring: the buses aren't running during the summer, and I'm getting bored of walking through the cemetery to campus, which is why I have had a sudden obsession with this:
We have been enjoying summer, but it's sort of coming to a close for me since my summer class starts tomorrow. At least it's only one class, and it's only seven weeks long. I just keep thinking that it will all be worth it do be completely done with school by next May.
Our plants are doing good, except for the attack of the black flies, but we're working on getting rid of them. Our tomato plants are HUGE and we found our first little awesome surprise yesterday:Yay for our first baby tomato!
Let's just hope that we can keep hanging our tomatoes off of the balcony...but that's a story for another day. We'll just say that there was a bit of a tussle with our new R.A. :(
