SO I haven't updated this thing in a long time and I thought I would just write a little. I've had a couple of great months of teaching. Nothing too exciting, except that I will be teaching the kindergarden class for two months and making a lot more money ( Read more... )

I've had one of the best weeks since being here. AJ was here for the week and I had a great time. It was so weird being on the other side of the world and having a friend that I have known for so long come and visit. I can't believe we are on the same side of the world at the same time ( Read more... )

I've been on the verge of tears all day. I think it's due to PMS but I am still very sad and almost depressed. The holidays are upon us and I honestly thought it would be easier than it feels like it's going to be. I had Canada Thanksgiving tonight, even though it was on Monday. It was good, turkey, mash potatoes. However it didn't help the ( Read more... )

This week has been a pretty good one. I started out with getting paid which is always nice, then got an enormous phone bill, only to find out that all the calls were not mine. Went to small group which was so great this week. My children were not to bad either. Found out that my best friend from high school will be coming to visit me in about a ( Read more... )

Today was a great day. I woke up really early from back pain that I've been having ever since we went to this chinese torture chamber place also known as a massage parlor, of course it's not really a massage parlor because it's on the side of the street. I spoke with my Mom this morning but she was getting ready for bed and so she couldn't talk ( Read more... )

Longing for some place to call home.
Reaching out but finding nothing.
Grasping but falling w/in finger tip's reach
of what I'm searching for.
Wanting, yearning, obsessing,
over that which I may never lay hands on.

Realizing that I have all that I've ever longed for.

So, it's been a long time since I have written in my livejournal, mostly because I have been busy and mostly because I didn't want to write. Things are different here on the other side of the world. Different culture, different environment, but still modern enough to remind me of home. I get homesick often, but at the same time would not miss ( Read more... )

So this is my last day of work and I am so stinkin excited. My Mom and Dad are driving down from Baltimore today and we are going to pack the car. This is the last day that I get to drive my car, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just sad. I have had this car for the longest time and it really was "the car of the college days". My Mom and I ( Read more... )
