I would like to believe that I am going to update this frequently, and include everthing that has happened so far, but the truth is I probably won't. With that said, here is what has been happening in my life:
This week was my first week teaching students. There was a halfday on Thursday and a full day on Friday, so overall, very manageable. I like my classes. Although I am now in charge of teaching six different classes (earth science, physical science, chemistry, physics, algebra 2 and precalc), I am excited for them. Unfortunately, I believe that the learning curve for my first year of teaching will be steep and painful. Fortunately, I am surrounded by a staff that I enjoy and am confident will be willing to help me.
I spend my day today relaxing and riding my new motorbike. A beautiful Honda airblade (125 cc and automatic) I am very excited to have my own transportation for my free time. I am currently at a local bar, a personal favorite, and I just got my butt handed to me in pool by several beautiful Thai bargirls. I do not feel ashamed though, because I am sure that they play for hours a day.
Life so far... It is great. There are a lot of things about this place that I have experienced and loved, and many more yet to try. I have eated fresh pineapples and mangoes (although they are currently out of season) and drank out of coconuts while on the beach. I have watched the sun set over the mountains and ocean and had Thai massages. I have found places that I enjoy and can call my own. Overall, I am adjusting well.
I hope that everything is going well for all of you in the states and I hope that I can occasionally update this. If it has not been updated in a while, know that I am either busy planning lessons or getting a sweet tan on hte beach (while it is winter over there). I love you all.
