because it's our School Summer holidays and the airfares will be at their highest from here to America. On the other hand it would give me longer to save up. On the other hand, which i dont have, if I'm allowed to complete the teacher training course this summer, I'd have to be in school in September. If I have to start again, which seems the most likely scenario, I could make it,but the later part of September would be cheaper.
I still think I would like to visit before then too. Maybe in the Spring. I'm trying to build up tuition work so that I can afford it. It's my best option as I can get £15.00 an hour and still claim social security of £50.00 a week. Not beeing tied up with a full time day job means I can continue my studying and school placements and if there is any hassle I can go on sick pay cos of the hormone imbalance and the fact that I'm seeing a shrink on the NHS.
The things you describe doing in Europe sound terrific Amanda, don't abandon hope of coming here. Maybe we can arrange another conclave some time in the South West of England (my spiritual home)and hold a ritual on Glastonbury Tor. Or rent a big villa in Tuscany - I love Italy - and drink lots of vino together.
Sorry I didn't get round to putting up the notice for you - I was going to do it this evening - honest! I had a very late night the night before last (5.00am) and was exhausted after that.
