Monsoon Season

It is raining here like it is Monsoon Season in Vietnam. I tried to go for a drive downtown and I had to abort it because the traffic was too thick and it was raining so hard I was worried about getting into a wreck. The freight job is pretty good but it has been so hot that I thought I was going to pass out the other night. I am trying to work between 8 and 10 hours per day. Last summer I was going for 12 hour shifts which meant that I had to be there twelve and a half hours. I was desperate for cash to get things for France and I have decided that was too draining and so I am going to be smooth and steady this time around. I am also trying to get a full time position at another place where my friend runs the dock. It is decent pay and I could use the steady income and job security. I also have applied for several positions as a business intern. I am hoping that one will come through and pay well so that I can use my expertise rather than muscle to earn my money.
So to let all my Aussies and Kiwi know what the romance front has to offer I will let you know that I have told the Erin, the red head, exactly what I think. We have been hanging out a lot lately and after she told me that she would give me the good word with one of her friends I told her that I was more interested in her. Although I am comfortable with a friendship as well. I have not heard back from her since so I hope that I did not do more damage than good as intended. I am sorry that I have not been emailing all of you lately because I have been too busy with everything here around the house or work. Even so I really have nothing great to tell all of you except I miss Lyon and all of you more than even I thought I would. I miss the nights at Maddy's apartment and the days in the park as well. I wish I could have all of you over for dinner tonight like old times and then hit Ninkasi or Johnny Walsh's!!!
I have worked out school now and I am starting back on the 22nd of August so I will be extra busy soon to be sure. Sorry I do not have more exciting news at the moment but I will hopefully have more. Madz is coming through New York on the way to Brazil so I am going up there to meet her in December and that is very exciting for me. We can perhaps have a day or two if all works out right. Love you all, biz!

Hi dear Sean,
I'm reading your blog whilst sitting in Driss's appart after being in London for 5 days. Lyon's not the same without my buddies, but after a couple of hard weeks adjusting I'm beginning to love the new Lyon aswell. I love reading your blog and looking at our old photos (apart from the megga uglies). I'll write or speak very soon
GROS BISOUS mon cherie
Jules xx

Jules I miss you too!!! In a very super duper expidiliocious way. I miss Lyon very much and life here is not the same without all of you as well. My Dad is doing a lot better and starts the hard chemo route in 2 weeks. I start back to school in 3 weeks and I am working nights at the freight dock again to make some good, quick money. Also interviewed with a firm here in Charlotte that does International package and freight. With offices in France! I am excited and I hope that I am selected so wish me luck. Oh, and send me your email address because I think I lost it. Ciao, gros gros bisous a toi. Dis-Driss que je le dis salut aussi.
