The best part of the job fair weekend was that I got to see a lot of friends in Boston. I stayed with Rosemary, which is always great. She made me homemade mac and cheese and we made smores in the fireplace and it was just great to hang out with her. The job fair I attended was also the same weekend as the international job fair in Boston that I have attended in the past and that friends of mine go to. Since there were no jobs for me to interview for at my fair on Saturday, I headed over to the other fair to meet up with friends from Peru. I had lunch with Terie and Kelani and heard about Terie's potential new jobs (she decided on Istanbul, which is very exciting). It was so great to see Terie and catch up with her. I also got to see Philip, my principal from Lima. He and his family are moving to Thailand next year. I miss working for Philip - he was a great, supportive administrator for me and I would love to work for him again. It was so good to see him.
I rounded out my weekend of catching up with friends by meeting David, Deb and Isabel for breakfast in Exeter on Sunday morning. They are friends from Lima, but Deb is originally from NH so I get to see them when they are home, which is great. It is always so good to see them and to see how much Isabel has grown. They are headed off to Zambia next year, so I am saving my money for a trip to Africa at some point while they are there. All and all it was a good weekend. Seeing friends I haven't seen in a long time definitely made up for the lousy job fair.
