Tweet It’s still weird to think about the time difference. I talk to my parents on different days. I am in the future. Kinda freaks me out if I really think about it. So I don’t. 🙂 Thankfully I do get to talk to them almost everyday. Skype is quite possibly one of the best inventions ever! So I am almost ready for school to start. In fact, probably too ready. Probably too stressed out about it. But it’s a big deal. I have never taught before and I am kinda nervous. Plus, I still feel like I am trying to figure out living in a new place. Although I…

Week 1
Tweet I will just jump right in since so far today I have been very unproductive. I will continue the trend. I did get a couple bulletin boards finished and read through some ESL testing stuff. I have most of my first week planned out anyways so I am doing ok. It has been an exciting week as the first week living anywhere new is. Exploring and getting to know my new surroundings has left me with several initial thoughts on life here. One, everything at the grocery store is more expensive. Living on an island means grocery shopping carries a little bit higher price tag. However, if that is…

I’m back
Tweet Hafa Adai! (or hello) Ok I have decided to start blogging again. Mainly because I actually have something to blog about. I recently accepted a job as the Jr. high computers and ESL teacher for Saipan Community School. (Which is in Saipan, which is near Guam) If that still doesn’t help, then just google Saipan. So I packed up way too much stuff and moved half way around the world to live and teach on an island for a year. I have been here exactly a week now and am finally sleeping through the night and slowly getting used to life here. It’s been a crazy week-trying desperately to…

Tweet so I have to leave for work in an hour..for ten long hours of work. And honestly, I usually don’t mind working, in fact, most of the time I would rather work then do anything else. But today I just want to crawl in bed and do nothing. I don’t want to think or talk to anyone or do anything other then sleep and hope life is different when I wake up. Granted, sleeping will do nothing to change my life currently, but it might make me feel better. I am frustrated and confused. And I have to move on from the past..but it keeps haunting me with what…

Don’t except to see much of me again for awhile:) On…

venting..
Tweet I just felt the need to write in my blog. It has been one of those weeks that can only be explained and made better through a blog post. I am back at school and it is going well. Things are better then expected with roommates and life is slowly getting busier, but still manageable. I have been working all week which has been crazy fun but crazy tiring. The one thing I really want right now is my pillow and my bed..but alas, I am stuck in a computer lab until 6 tonight. I played volleyball last night and hurt my wrist..typing is a challenge..but lucky for me,…

I’m back..
Tweet ok..so I decided I should update the few readers I have left.. Life has gotten somewhat better since the last time I wrote. God is amazing that is one thing I will say for sure! He always shows up right when I am at my lowest..which has happened a lot this summer. Trying to change your life doesn’t come without trouble from the devil. Of course, he had me right where he wanted me..and I decided that was far from where God wanted me. God has been faithful in providing the finances I needed for college which is a huge answer to prayers and my plans for next summer…
