That's me! Mostly lazy. I'm enjoying a 4-day weekend (!) right now, due to a sick professor and mock exams. I hope my teacher gets better (I hear the flu us going around here). So it's "Saturday" (a.k.a. Sunday). Always a good thing. I have zero pictures to share (and now you know the extent of my laziness when I say that my reason for this is dead batteries). Charging now.
Even too lazy for full sentences and capitalization. This week, did stuff:
--Roommates and I and another assistant went to the theater last night. thought the theater was in nearby town St-Quentin but was actually in St-Quentin-En-Yvelines. a far away town. wondered why the theater was empty and no one was around. asked police officers. felt dejected. had dinner at a creperies where everyone stared when we walked in. ate well and laughed a lot and left feeling like a part of the creepy restaurant "family"
--Re-memorized US capitals (Rich men go to Virginia!)
--Made lots of oatmeal with cinnamon & honey (highly recommended)
--Had a conversation hour in my kitchen with a high school girl, half-and-half English and French. her twin brother will join us next time. learned that l'heure and leur are pronounced the same. taught the pronunciation difference between angry and hungry.
--Did "speed dating" with my students. they had to pull a photo out of a bag and write a detailed description of that person's life (name, age, job, family, hobbies, ideal relationship, pets, travel, etc.) and then go on dates with each other and decide whether or not they had a future together (for example, one guy was a farmer, and his date HATED cows, so bad match. or the old guy loved beer and his young female friend was a whiskey fan, so a 2nd date was in store). one boy was the best (and most honest) date candidate I've ever seen: "My name is Tinky Winky. I am 30 years old. I come from Germany but I live in prison in UK Because I killed around 80 persons. I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters, and my parents don't want to see me, I don't know why...... I don't have any pets because it's forbidden in the prison. I didn't work, I just clean the toilets of the prison. I hate cigarettes and drugs. I want a girlfriend who loves me in prison."
(to be fair, the current topic in his other class is the death penalty. but still.)
--Had this thought every few minutes: What will I do when I get back to Minneapolis????????! It's haunting me a little. I've never had such a wide-open future.
P.S. I promise I'm not always this lazy! now I feel lazy and guilty!! yarr.

You are a Virgo! Never lazy. Working even when not.
We must think up some open-ended 'what's next' questions/exercises so that you can enjoy your present moments. I will think on that.
Meantime, hmmm... you like art, taking photos, writing (you are good at it and funny), teaching, working with little kids but not too many of them, FOOD, laughing, making stuff, buying little tubs of pretty makeup, making things look nice, buying wacky cool stuff.
Virgo Sun - hardworking, dutiful, wants to serve and likes to help, detail oriented. Leo Moon - wants to SHINE, be center stage. This Sun and Moon do not live easily in one human! They need to go out for a drink together and discuss how to meet needs of both. Also you have much Libra thrown in. Love of beauty, beauty of love. Need peacefulness and balance. No loud balloons popping. May feel best when in a couple relationship. Natural love of making things look pleasing - your surroundings, clothes you wear,photographs.
I will look at examples of the best of Virgo. The Sun sign really is the heart of the chart. All the other dudes add flavor and help or hinder the Sun. The sign the Sun is in shows shows what a person needs to develop to feel competent and fulfilled.
You know me so well!
