(no subject)
I really wish I had a computer of my own.
I can never be bothered to actually type anything when I go to an internet cafe, or when I come here to Lyn's to blatently abuse hers.
We went to the river today.
Me and the 3 year olds. (The 3 year olds and I. Bad English teacher.)
"What for?", you may ask.
Well, as much as I had hoped it was to drown the bad ones, it was indeed to collect stones for crafts.
I bundled all up in a long sleeved shirt, big turtle neck, light coat, heavy winter jacket and my gloves only to discover it was quite warm there.
What I found most odd though, was where we actually went.
When they said "river" I assumed they meant the one that's like 2 minutes away from the school. "The" river. The longest river on the island. Made sense to me. But instead, we piled on a bus and drove for half an hour to some remote corner of nowhere with a dried up lake bed. most odd.
Starting monday I have to work at the second campus. So not in my contract. Such a pain in the ass.
Not happy bout this. Only bonus is that campus actually has heat. Whereas ours has small space heaters. Not fun.
I look forward to at least being warm.
I haven't made any record of life here at all. I planned on writing a journal, both on paper and here. I haven't done either. I've taken one roll of film. And that was over christmas. And that's just pictures of Me, Sho and his family at disney land.
Am I always going to be so slack?
I really don't want to be.
Maggie, don't say yes.
I have no idea what I'm going to do this weekend. I need to clean my house, but after that I have no idea.
Also supposed to help Lyn put photos up online; so if i do that I shall show people where they be.
I tried Nato yesterday.
I really wanted to like it. I didn't want to be another dumb foreigner who couldn't stand it.
I failed.
It really does stink. Not as bad as people say... but it smells. And the smell wont go away. At first I thought I would be able to eat it, even thought I didn't like it, but the more I ate the more I wanted to vomit. Wasnt happy. If it werent for the hot mustard I wouldnt have been able to eat as much of it as I did probably. It's sticky and stringy. Like melted marshmellows. That, I didn't know.
(for those who don't know, Nato is fermented beans)
This is my life. Rocks, House Cleaning, and half rotten beans.
Envy me not.
and cold feet. Don't forget the cold feet.
I need a cat. A fluffy kitty who will sleep on my feet at night and keep them warm.
Also, if it were trained to wash dishes that would be cool too.
Ok. Enough randomness.
I shall be back to the computer again tomorrow or sunday it would seem. Save some of the excitement for then.
KISSES!
Take care o'yerselves.
Ja ne.
