Our team met for a very casual beer after work one night and that was perfect...just some downtime to get together and personally bond and learn about one another. After all, we will be living in each other's stinky shadows for a month! Cool group...I do hope all this goes well!
I also went to a fundraiser for the Novato Rotary Club. It was a polenta feed at OLL...THE LORETTO HALL for God's sake!! I bet those walls have seen some serious parties! And what the hell is with the bathroom stall doors made of a sheet of plywood and a 25 cent latch...seriously folks...years and years and years of all that tuition and there isn't even a real bathroom stall door??? What is going on here...and Lord knows it is not going to the teachers salaries!!
Oh yeah, this blog is supposed to be about the Rotary GSE and not all the other random stuff that flies in and out of my head! Sooooo, where was I....
Melissa has had people approach her saying they have heard I was selected to be a part of this team and that is really amazing. She is seeing first hand how important and beneficial this experience is and I am sure the impact for work will be profound.
I have received the banners from Rotary Club of Terra Linda and they are cool! I wasn't sure what I was expecting they would look like, but this wasn't what I expected. I will exchange these with the German Rotary Clubs we visit and I will bring their banners back to the Terra Linda club. Here is what they look like...
There are 30 of them and I can just FEEL my luggage getting heavier and heavier!
I have ordered two styles jacket/blazers online...wrinkle free and easy to pack. I am not a big fan of the blazer/jacket look so we will see how this goes...thank God for my alterations lady that can make just about anything look good!
These are the scarves that were chosen by the team as our matching piece that will make us look like a team.
The men will wear ties and the women will wear scarves of this pattern. They are made of silk, hand-washable and easy to pack. The lady at the scarf company was nice enough to give us a discount...never hurts to ask! Good...'cause it sucks to pay full price for something with the colors orange, blue, brown and hot pink all in the same piece...for the love of God!
This week we have another team meeting and we have so much to cover. It seems like we never have enough time together to make any decent headway.
German lessons are AWESOME!! I love it and cannot learn it fast enough. Wouldn't you all love to be a fly on the wall in my house or car to hear me practicing out loud?? I'm tellin' you...if you have a language you want to learn or brush up your fading skills, look into Rosetta Stone. It is so easy and it really works!
More updates after our team meeting...
Is there anyone out there who is actually reading this thing?
