I've had a bit of spare time, so I've been focused on trying to figure out my career path. You should see the master Excel sheet I have going tracking all the organizations I'm interested in. I know, so type A. But I've met some great people. Geneva reminds me a lot of Austin - a small community where everyone knows each other and is willing to help connect you. I actually found a group that reminds me a lot of AWC, the group I worked with in Austin. And I've gotten plugged into the Georgetown alumni group. UT hasn't had much in the area - you can't even search for alumni by country in the directory. I guess they haven't gone global.
The running program is coming along. We're up to 8 miles for the long run this week. Still 23 weeks to go of training...It's pretty tough to do in the cold, especially with the wind. At times you feel like you're running in slow motion. But it's better than training in TX during the summer for sure!
We've had a couple of little school outings -one to see a hockey game. Evidently, the Geneva team is quite good. But it took me until half time to even figure out which team they were. A bit slow on the uptake that day.
And only 4 short weeks until I'm home for the holidays! I'm looking forward to seeing the family - especially all the kiddos! And my friend Lindsey will be having her little boy right around the time I get in. I can't wait to meet Baby T and spoil him with some Euro fashion! Kelly has promised to run with me while I'm back and I'm going to get Miss Ellie, even though she has moved on and quite fancies Kel. Oh well, it makes the stress of having to leave her for a year much easier.
I'll be in Austin Dec. 23rd and again around New Years. The rest of the time will be in Port O and Houston. Hope to see you all!
