#353: SADCC Day 20: the mira

Blech. It might have something to do with my scarf being too short and too narrow, but this one is just awful.

#347: SADCC Day 14: the braid

Confession time: I didn't actually wear this one in public. It felt like I had an elephant's tusk hanging from my neck. I guess it would work better with a thinner scarf, but it has to be long otherwise the braid won't work. Eh, anyway, two thumbs down.

#346: SADCC Day 13: the X

It was a long day. I almost didn't get around to taking this picture.

Oh, and The X is kind of impossible. I don't recommend it.

#318: sick day

On Monday I took my very first sick day in four years of teaching.

#281: welcome to the neighborhood

A month or so ago I unknowingly parked in my neighbor's spot on the street, which made him angry enough to tape a nasty letter to my windshield. Apparantly in Germany you can call dibs on public places because the next day, these lines were painted on the street.

#228: here we go again

Most people make new year's resolutions, but I make new school year resolutions. And every year there's a running resolution. So today, a week before classes start, I went for my first run in months. It felt much better than I expected it to. My intention was to ease back into things with a 10 minute run but ended up going for over 20. Time to get into shape since I'm signed up to run in the Basel Marathon on September 11!*

*I am signed up to run 1/6th of the Basel Marathon, which actually only equals about 4.3 miles.

#220: setting up and settling in

Today I spent a decent chunk of time at school organizing my new classroom. I love these colorful Ikea storage boxes, which I intended to label with my "vintage" Dymo labeler. Sadly, I discovered that the tape is so vintage it doesn't stick anymore! C'est la vie.

#219: still not pleased

After spending all of my Sunday afternoon rearranging furniture in the living room, I am still not pleased. This part is ok, but the rest of the room is still lacking something. Sigh.

#216: happy dance of the century

You may remember my recent luggage woes from this post and this post. After a full WEEK without, I was finally reunited with my last piece of luggage. Word of advice - don't bother with British Airways. This bag contained all my nice warm-weather clothing, which means for the past week I've been spotted around town wearing gym shorts. Awesome. Welcome back, shorts and capris, I've missed you!!

ONE of my two missing suitcases arrived today!! Still waiting on the other, but this deserves a happy dance.

#211: saturday's stress

Aside from sleeping until 1:30 pm (yay jetlag) and venturing out for groceries, the only thing I did today was call British Airways' baggage service every four hours to check the status of my two missing bags. Oh, joy.

Like Monday, I was also exhausted on Tuesday. Basically, nothing happened. Hence the lack of picture..
