Hung out in P-B office today; sitting by super genki super fun super chatty super woman Audrey, I graded a bunch of tests, so we'll be able to place students in classes basically according to their English abilities. I enjoyed getting into the energy of the group here, and getting a sorta better idea of how things are organized though I still don't know how everything works. I met a woman named Aya who is the international coordinator: she goes to all the ports to get stuff arranged before the boat arrives. Wow. And then I met Michiko, the woman who did that job for three years before Aya. Powerful women, I'm sure.

Looked at Matt's GET Guidebook for the students; he's putting together a pretty comprehensive supplement that will help students apply their English knowledge on Pb related activities. How to haggle. Giving directions in a city we'll be visiting. How to talk about what time to be back on the boat.

BUT, I found out something that's cooler than ALL of that: we're going to the Valley of the Crescent, featured in Indiana Jones Last Crusade!!

Holy shit!! I'm super pumped about that; I've always thought that place is "so far away" and "so mysterious" and "so cool" and "would be so cool to SEE." ..... well, I get to see it soooooon!

And, Audrey said she introduced me to people as "the guy who said 'fuck' in the interview." Awright.

Hahaha... Audrey can talk really quickly.
