HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know it's been a while since the last post. My mom has mentioned this fact about 30 times in the past month. So mom, here ya go. I mostly didn't feel like posting the past month because I was pretty homesick over the holidays. Not that Christmas has come and gone (thank you for the fabulous Christmas packages everyone!) I'm feeling much more upbeat.

I stay really bust at the school and get home at night just exhausted. I have a new appreciation for all of the effort that my teachers in the past put into their classes. I've picked up some side projects and clubs at the school and I enjoy working with the students.

Since I'm so busy at school, I've decided to make a move from my current house up to the teachers' housing section at the school. Next weekend I'll be moving into my new place. My school really set me up with a nice place. The hospitality in Cambodia is incredible. I'll miss that part of the culture more than anything.

Today marks 6 months that I've been in country! I can hardly believe that I've only got a year and a half more to get all of my work done. Time is flying by.

I'll post some pictures and more stories soon (next week maybe when I have internet access at the school). Take care everyone.
