End of Summer and Jackie

Dear all,

Summer went by quickly. It is now that last week before all my friends and other students return to St Andrews. Work has been going well, the cafe had a few busy weeks and now were preparing for the student and parent rush. Good tips and good business coming our way. It's always good to have a mad rush.

I didn't end up spending all the summer in St Andrews. A few weeks ago I took a short trip to the USA to see friends and family. I saw Mom and Dad some, but I never spent more than three days in any location. Ari, Brett and I took a small road trip out to NH to see Zach. We we're a bit ridiculous, bolting out side of building and playing some good tunes (That Don't Impress me Much). Took Brett to see Niagara falls for the first time. I got to see my friend Shosh and explore a new raw vegan food place in Highland Park (In The Raw).

Now I am back and setting up for the year as well as attending badminton pre-season training. The new house is named Jackie, after the character from That '70s Show. The house has a very 70s feel. Carpets, purple lighting, big mirrors. Alex, my new housemate, and I have been moving things around. cleaning, and arranging the house to our taste. Of course, being guys, the TV, sound system, and xbox were set up before the boxes were unpacked and the clothing ready.

Pre-season is intense. Yesterday was a good 4 hours of straight play and drill. Getting back in shape for the new season is important and it's important to do so quickly. Matches will be begin soon.  I hope to get a camcorder and post some videos for you all.

Off to more work.

-J
