thoughts

Originally I had a lot to say, but ran out of time and motivation to write a full blown out post. So instead I'm just going to write a few thoughts down.

1. Go Girls Generation!

2. When are people's behavior not tolerated anymore? Dealing with the same old nonsense just gets exhausting. Exhausting to listen to, be around and to watch others "try" and fix it. It's just all exhausting.

3. Why is it okay for some to act a certain way, but higher expectations are put on yourself? Is it ever their turn to be the bigger person?

4. New favorite person in the world...Analyssa Noel

5. HERE I COME VEGAS!!!

Hello U S of A

You must be really mad at me. I know. I've allowed another lapse of time to occur between my post. Once again I apologize. I promise it's not because I don't want to post and keep you updated. I'm a busy person...like really busy. Ok fine, I'm not that busy. My computer kicked it. It's officially dead. My dell inspiron something or another has gone blue screen of death on me for the last time. But don't worry I am a newly registered Sioux City public library member.

So what's new? I said goodbye to my Kindies six weeks ago now. I didn't really realize how much I would miss them, but I do. I miss them screaming my name and not wanting to do anything but go to playground. Hopefully I'll make it back in time for their graduation. Cross your fingers! After leaving South Korea I spent about 10 days in the Philippines. I won't spend too much time talking about the Philippines because I can go on and on about how amazing it was. However, there was a point where I thought my life was ending by land slide. Obviously everything turned out to be fine. Album below...

 

By the way, cheese ice cream not that good. Surprised? Not me. Since the Philippines I've been back in Usa for about a month. It's interesting being back. Actually at times overwhelming, but overall it's been good to see people. I spent about a week in the big city of Storm Lake, Iowa and then made my way down to Kansas City, Missouri to visit the brother and sister. I spent some time in my home town Sioux City, Iowa visiting the family and then made a quick pit stop in NYC to visit JAKE! God, I feel like I've been everywhere. I'm now back in Sioux City hanging out waiting to see father. I can't believe I haven't seen him yet - I suppose that's the life of a trucker. Here are a few of my newest jams of mine:

Kimbra - Settle Down (thanks to Kirsten & Jackie, I'm now obsessed)

Bruno Mars - It will rain

 

And a song I just can't get over. Christina Perri - Black & Blue

i. hate. snow.

This is why I'm not too excited to go home. Although I'm extremely excited to see my family and friends I have this to look forward to. For those of you who do not know my hometown I am from Sioux City, Iowa which lucky for me is #12 on this list. Yay! By the way, I will be traveling to some of these places during my stay in the states. Driving, safety and a lot of snow don't really go together. I might have to rethink my travel plans.

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.
