Every time we are not open for either a morning or an afternoon at work, it is so blissfully quiet in the office. I have come to enjoy the time when we don't take walk-ins in the office. I get to focus on tasks that have been assigned to me at my own pace and without distraction and it is WONDERFUL.
This morning, as happens every Monday morning, we were closed. The afternoon was just as busy as it was quiet in the morning, but I at least had time for my nice two hour lunch break (I am going to miss those when I come home!).
I am continuing my work to prepare everything for the Kettering University students that will arrive this weekend.
This evening, a sad event took place. One of the students from Sheffield is going home. We went out for a few drinks over at Joli and the Irish Pub to send him off. He had only been here for 6 days and, despite our best efforts, couldn't be convinced to stay.
It is really interesting for me to talk to someone who had little to no desire to study abroad. I knew even before I was in college that I was going to study abroad and that I was going to Germany. I had learned the language for 6 years before and it was just an obvious option for me since I stayed in town to go to college. To talk to someone who just had no interest in it blows my mind! But, to each his own.
