I dont mind the occasional rainy day,but when its been a solid week of rain, it starts to get annoying. As I was walking home today, dodging the massive amounts of umbrellas that walked by, I was thinking what I would rather have: a million of umbrellas or frigid temperatures? I think I actually would go for frigid temperatures. I just dont like carrying umbrellas. I hate my feet being wet all the time. However I do love getting out of bed and not rushing to put on as many layers of clothes as possible. There is always the pros and cons.
Yesterday I was feeling a bit homesick. I had a crappy morning class, listened to some people complaining about life then went home by myself. Altoghter a very bad mixture. I remember walking to work that night counting in my head how much time I have left here, I also was hoping that something in my night class would cheer me up. It seems that everytime I get a little sad or frustrated something turns it around pretty fast. Sure enough I had an awesome class. I was in a very giggly christy mood, and totally fed off my class. Altogether we had a great class. Once again, God was watching over me, and provided.
During one of our breaks today, Brandon and I were chatting when we heard two teachers arguing about something to do with English Time, Brandon and I were talkign about what if we just up and quit. It sounded fine to me, but then I kinda of panicked? What would I do? Yes go back to America as easily as one $50 plane change. But what would I do in the States? Now that freaked me out. absolutely nothing about that plan sounded good (of course- except the fact I would be with my family and friends) My mind was quickly calculating how much money I had, and how much that would last me. I decided that whole fake quitting idea was not worth it. Although I am pretty sure the teachers are getting really fed up with some of the drama going on at our school. I do believe this time it was about some people not getting paid the correct amounts. Luckily for my first full months paycheck, I did get paid right. Oh the joys of working in a foreign country.
On a fun note. My morning class was in a bummed out mood because they didnt do so hot their writing exams. The fourth hour I knew i had to do something to cheer them up. I got one of the guys to belly dance for us. Keep watch on facebook as luckily today I had my camera on me! I was sure to document that moment really fast:)
Please please post that video!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about up and quitting. I often think about what my next move will be after August and Habitat/AmeriCorps world runs out.... freaks me out a little. The options are just a little overwhelming!
Know that I am thinkin' about you Christy! And things will turn out. :)
