So the past weeks weeks have been pretty boring thanks to a LOT of work :-( accompanied with a significant lack on funds (thank you US taxes). I spent one weekend helping a friend move house and the others just trying to get through work I didn't manage to get to during the week and more job applications. The only thing I have done for fun is helping out at the RAD class occasionally. (Fight night is always fun!)
However it does seem like winter is coming to an end. (I am not holding my breathe as we have had snow in April before but still, there is hope.) It also brings out peoples lack of driving ability. (Honestly that is only thing I can think of to explain this! And even that is pushing it.)

It was fun watching, from a restaurant, the number of people trying to turn into these spaces and then visibly cursing out the idiot taking up 4 spaces. I have seen someone taking up 2 but really! 4?!?!
I also found a packet of the most interesting flavored crisps (chips for the Americans) I have seen in a while. (Like I said it has been a dull few weeks, with not much than work in my life.) They were ok but I don't think I will be be buying more. (They taste a bit weird to start then ok, then after a while, a bit sickly!)

Tonight I was feeling homesick (there's a lot going on a home right now and it is hard being away) so I made a curry. It takes time to do it properly with making the spice mix (and in Blacksburg actually finding the spices!) but was definitely worth it. The GF naan bread were ok and probably about as good as I am going to get so I was happy! Of course I then ate my weight in curry!

I start the student police academy on Monday where I will learn about police life, including SWAT and hopefully how to drive a police car. I also get to do CSI. :-) So hopefully I will have something interesting to do (other than work which does not qualify) over the next few weeks.
