So, in 30 days time I will be leaving this fine country and returning to a finer one. There is a lot of stuff that needs to happen between now and then and I will summarize some of it here:
24 November- 3rd Annual OUWAFC Thanksgiving Extravaganza. The past 2 years I have hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner at my house for the women's football club. This year will be the final iteration of said dinner (although I have handed the turkey duties over to Kim because I have too much engineering work to do). I'm really excited for this chance to spend time with the football girls and have a little taste of America.
25 November- Liz's promotion party. The Army deems it appropriate to promote from 2nd LT to 1st LT 18 months after pinning on and so Liz is getting promoted! We're gonna celebrate (not quite the celebration I had for mine) but should be fun.
3 December- THESIS SUBMISSION DAY! I have given myself the deadline of the end of term to submit my thesis and then I'll be done with this ridiculous working schedule and will be able to have fun!!
4 December- Last Manny Road game (and therefore the last time I get to play 11v11 football for the foreseeable future). If all goes as planned (ie we win the week before) then we will have already won the league by this point but I will need to keep up my goalscoring record in order to beat Danny in the friendly competition we have going.
8 December- Varsity Rugby!! I loved this last year and I barely knew all the guys I went with. This year will be even better and I can't wait! Game at Twickenham, ball at a club in Chelsea area, it will be a blast! Britta is joining this year as well and it's going to be awesome.
10 December- Manny Road Christmas party. Great chance to hang out with all my awesome football friends (men's and women's teams) and get into the Christmas spirit.
13 December- My going away party. What a bittersweet event this is going to be! I'm really excited by all the RSVP's I've gotten (around 40!!) and I know it will be awesome to have all my England friends in one place at one time, I'm just gonna have to try super hard not to cry all night long!
17 December- Flight back to the states!! Yikes, its coming up SOOOO fast!!
Anyways, since I have 30 days until I come back I figured I'd mark each one with a 30 day song challenge that I gave to Michal and am now stealing back from her.
Day 1: Your favourite song. There is no way I could possibly choose a favourite song! However, this song happens to be my most played on iTunes, from one of my favourite bands, and on one of my favourite cds so it will pass as my "favourite" song here. Plus the music video involves football so thats always a plus. Must Have Done Something Right by Relient K.
