HOLY KIMCHI, it's been 3 months since my last post

I apologize for my absence, but the past three months have been pretty hectic and I seriously (for the most part) did not have time to write. I am truly sorry and hope my lovely avid readers will forgive me? So I’m sure you’re wondering what’s been goin on? What’s the 4-1-1, the news, dets, info, lowdown? Well let’s see…there has been a ton of drama at work. And when I say a ton I mean a shit load. Several people have quit/were fired. There has also been some confusion on whether or not kindergarten will be available after February and also whether or not we’re changing locations. Do note I am (for the safety of others) leaving out a lot of the juicy stuff. I will say there's been some nasty things going on. Along with dealing/hearing about all of this nonsense I just had a lot of things to do for work: report cards, portfolios, calendars, portfolios, monthly plans, portfolios, changing desk=not happy and oh yeah…PORTFOLIOS! If you’re wondering what I mean when I say portfolios, myself along with eight other teachers were blessed with taking 10-15 photos of each student and making essentially what we call scrapbooks for each student. This was a pain, but I won’t lie I did enjoy it...a little J

Let’s see what else has happened. Oh yes! I went on wine train; one of the best decisions of my life. You get on a train and drink (all you can drink) wine! Later that night I found myself making my own Soul Train as I danced to cupid shuffle (with others) in the aisles. I did have a slight headache the next day, but I don’t regret a thing. I also realized I'm not very good at rock, scissors, paper.

For those of you not aware of when I’m leaving I only have two weeks left at work. I KNOW. I can’t believe it! Time has gone by so fast. Although I’m done with my one year contract I will not be back in the states until the end of December basically January. I’m going to the PHILIPPINES; another exciting thing that has happened the last three months. Only because the ticket was way more than I wanted to spend I wasn't that excited about this trip at first. BUT NOW I’M ECSTATIC! Not only will I get another stamp in the passport, but I'll spend Christmas with my dear friend Hilda and her family. AND the weather will be amazing!

Halloween also passed - favorite/best holiday ever! My mom who can drive me crazy at times pulled through and sent me the best package ever. Love you mummy! It was filled with Halloween candy and assorted spider and bat rings. The kids loved them! Halloween was spent in Busan with friends. Although the weekend trip didn't go as planned (stupid fireworks festival) I still managed to have a good time as Steve Urkel.

Thanksgiving has also just recently passed -- wow, once I start writing about the holidays I realize how long it's actually been since my last update. Anyway....I want cornbread stuffing. As you can guess I didn't eat the typical Thanksgiving meal. BUT my coworkers/friends put together a dinner party/game night in it's place which was great!

Let's recap the last three months: I love fall weather. Halloween is awesome. I think my friend Shanna has become a wino since wine train and I don't mind. Boys are stupid. I can't wait for Thanksgiving in January. Thank god I'm done working at my job in two weeks -- no more drama. Philippines in 2 weeks whoop whoop! I love Hunger Games.
