Yes, yes, I know!
^^ Ly (pronounced Lee),an ex-student of mine, and me (right)on an awesome day trip that the students organized. SO sweet! ^^^
I know I havent updated the blog in awhile.
My excuses are as follows:(no one excuse stands alone)
* first 3 weeks of teaching has kicked my butt and sucked all my creative juices
* The teachers at the schools I am working for (1 school, 2 branches) are super friendly and thus I have been dragged (ha!) out on a number of after work activities.
* I almost started dating (gasp) during this time. false alarm, but still…
* I am still living in a hotel with no computer or internet access
* A part of me is sick of so many remote friends. I adore y’all, really. But I want a strong in-person life as well.
How’s that?
I start looking for apartments again tomorrow and have the ambitious but totally doable goal of moving before my school’s Tet holiday begins (Feb 12th, sounds like most places start the vacation time a week later). Once I get that sorted life will really start to rock! Cant wait. Although I have no problems living in my hotel room, thus the dragging of the feet issue since I returned from Thailand 3 weeks ago.
Tet holiday begins sometime around the 17th. No two people give the same answer, haha, so I cant really tell you when it is. What I can tell you is that my plans are very up in the air. I have off from teaching from Feb 12 to 22nd. SO, if you have any suggestions on where to go, please let me know. I would adore a spa/exercise vacation, but the ones I have found so far have been insanely expensive. And I am supposed to be here making not spending money, so….
^^ Me (left, making incredibly weird face), Vicky (center) and Thang (pronounced Tang, I think) on the same day trip to a small ceramic village just north of Hanoi last weekend.
