Angela: I'm back on fb regular, now. So, we can talk more than twice a year! :D
Jack: oh that's nice! how are u, btw?
Angela: Pretty good. I had to move so fast, which was insane, but it's doing me a lot of good to have the kids next to me all the time. You?
Jack: I'm doing great, actually :) where do u live right now?
Angela: I moved to California, to Riverside. My mom got a great job out here and needs a lot of help. We're moving my brother and his kids here, too. So, I'm taking the year off from teaching to help everyone get settled.
Jack: and how is the town treating u so far?
Angela: I've been pretty much keeping to home, so it's been quiet that way. I'm still technically working this semester, so grading and PMing students all night, but I volunteer to watch the kids and let the other adults do all the errands X.X
Jack: I'm trying to focus on my PhD this summer, tomorrow I'm doing the last exam 
Jack: I also spend time with my bf and friends, we'll have our 1st anniversary soon <3
Angela:  Aww!
Angela: I thought you got your degree last year.
Jack: Our education system is different than that in States, I'm on my third year of PhD studies
Angela: Oh I see
Jack: do you have any holiday plans?
Angela: Mostly just here, being useful. I go to Canada for a couple days, end of the month, for work stuff.
Angela: We took my brother out, this morning, for Father's Day. Had to drag him, but he had a good time once we did.
Jack: you're super dedicated to your work, which is great, but don't forget to rest up, too
Angela: I get in lots of hands of Uno and poker with the kids. 
Jack: sounds fun!
Angela: it is :)
Angela moved to California, because her mom got a job there. Angela wants to take her brother and kids to California too, so she takes a gap year. Jack has his last PhD exam tomorrow. Angela is going to Canada for working holiday for a few days.
