Day 21

Rick and I said our goodbyes last night. He left very early this morning to begin his journey back to Poland. I have enjoyed his company and I will miss him being around the place during this final week. Hopefully we will both make a genuine effort to keep in touch.

I am now beginning to seriously question the wisdom of taking on another job during the bulk of my summer break, particularly after a long and challenging year. The prospect of five more days of work fills me with despair rather than enthusiasm. Perhaps three weeks would have been enough? I am missing the comforts and the cleanliness of my own home. I feel bored, restless and irritable. In addition to this, I am now concerned that two weeks will not be a sufficient amount of time for me to properly relax ahead of, and of course appropriately prepare for, the start of the new school year. Hopefully the experience, coupled with the extra money in the bank, will ultimately prove to have been worth it. Only time will tell- and I hope that time really flies this week.

Oh, hope things are going better for you now. A little extra in the bank is always helpful though. Can't think of all the times we've needed it :]
