Hey friends! I'm so sorry its been so long since I've made an entry. I ran into some really busy times with work here. Christmas was great except for having to work that day. New Year I spent hanging out at home watching Futurama and Simpsons. That was exactly what I wanted to do though, it was sooo cold outside and I had to work the next day. We just finished 5 weeks of a winter intensive program at school. The kids had a long break from thier schools so we added a class for them to take in the mornings. I had 4 kids that I taught from 11 to 12:30am, and then began my regulary work day. It was a fun class with a lot of really neat interractive games to play on the computer. I think the kids learned a lot from the program and I always came away from it thinking it was a fun class, but it sure did make my days long and my mornings early. My kids were all so great on my birthday. I got all kinds of gifts, mostly candy and other food. One girl gave Jasmine (another teacher) and I matching teddybear-angel rings and one student gave me a necklace. My little boys drew a big heart on the board and put all of their names in it. They are all 5-6 years old. It was one of my favorite birthdays.
I've been spending a lot of weekend time at the Live Bench where we play music. I am officially the technology person for the Hanam-si band. I also get to play the bongos sometimes. :-D I have a great group of friends here. Thank you to everybody who sent me gifts and cards. It means so much to me when I get something from home. Check out my next blog for my vacation trip to Bali.
