it's been a while...

Goodness gracious I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted!  I'm in the process of updating pictures to my picasa web album so there's that in the meantime! 

I've been up to a great deal I don't even know where to start...I think since I've last posted I spent time in Chiang Mai, spent a week in Laos, a few days in Bangkok for a seminar for AYC- the organization I work for, made new friends there, and then relocated to Rayong, where I am currently teaching at Watpapradoo School.  I teach Mattayom 1, 4 and 6- which equates to 7th grade, 10th grade and 12th.  Wild!  I originally requested to be with younger kids and be north of Bangkok.  But what I got was awesome high schoolers and the sea.  My town is a very busy fishing town so the seafood is excellent, and beaches are not too far.  The popular island of Ko Samet is a quick ferry ride away, perfect for a weekend vacation.  I have yet to visit there!  I hope to make a trip there once I'm a bit more settled. 

I started classes October 26th and we had to jump right in- head first.  I was teaching real lessons of content the second time I met some of my classes!  Some classes I only see once a week, and the others I only see twice.  It's a little hectic keeping track of all the classes and students- the smallest class I have is 32 students and the largest is 51!

sorry to be brief, but i'm running out of time on the internet.  I'll post more later- soon!
