Signed up for pre-service training last week-- starts on Sept 6th, should be done by the start of November!

Also got tickets for Italy in October, to do that trip before I have a chance of placements.

Moving and travelling has been eating up my time lately-- the fact that I'm still not set up enough in the new place to feel "moved in" is frustrating, but I remind myself that I've been out of town for a LOT of the last month + a half.  Last night was a huge step forward, though-- got a few things (knife holder, pictures, etc) attached to walls.  Crazy what a difference that makes!
