It's feels like it's been ages since I updated the website at all. But we haven't been doing much besides the regular routine. The end of the year is coming up quickly and we're both busy fitting in everything that we need to. Tutoring is starting to pick up as people start to see the light at the end of the tunnel and wish it were a little brighter.
We haven't even really though about the big packing job we will have to start in a couple weeks. Everything we have into box and over to a friend's house for the summer. It will be good to sort through everything - it will encourage us to take some of the stuff that we thought we'd use but haven't home. But I am a little worried about seeing exactly how much we have collected in the two years that we've been here.

Due to the delicacies of car rental, we have adjusted our schedule a wee bit. We are now planning to go to Humboldt and environs the first week of July (before the Winnipeg Folk Festival, instead of on the way home).
In other news, the school has settled out housing for next year. They have offered to let us move into one of the old buildings. We can buy the furniture that is in the apartment right now. For us, as a couple, we will be able to cover the rent and the cost of the furniture with our housing allowance, with even a bit left over. Next year, singles will need to put up a bit of their own money every month for what they get for free this year. The alternative for them is to find their own place and furnish it themselves. At the end of the school year, we will box up all our stuff and store it at a friend's place for the summer. When we get back in September, we'll move
into a freshly painted apartment.

Our plans for the summer are coming together. Somehow the summer always seems too short to do everything we want to. We are coming straight home this year to enjoy as much of Canadian life as we can. Fernie is green, Saskatoon and Humboldt are gold.
