Updates.

So I've been a bit behind on catching this blog up. Since I am home from school, sick with strep throat, I figured this would be the best time for me to get all up-to-date. When I last left you, I was trekking through the jungles of Laos and spending time in Chiang Mai before semester II started at school. Well school has obviously started since it is almost Christmas time. So here are some updates:

1. New Teachers - They always seem to be coming and going! We have many new teachers in our school. Some new teachers from CIEE (the same program I came through) are Nicki, Maddy, Tessa, Ally, and Tash. We also just got another one from Tasmania for three months, Alex.

2. Weekend Travels:

Nov 1 - Nov 3 : I went to Laos again, to get a new Visa. Pain in the butt, although I got to miss some days of school since the embassy is only open on the weekdays.

Nov 13 - Nov 15 : School Exhibition, I learned some paper folding origami stuff and a group of us went to the tower we have in town that has a water park with 3 slides.

Nov 18 - nov 22 : Had a long weekend so sam, matt, tessa, susan and i went to Koh Chang for some fun in the sun. Awesome sunset photos here.

Nov 28 - Nov 29 : School's 80th Birthday, had a big to do at school in the evening. Free dinner and whiskey. On Sunday went to the Lopburi Monkey Festival, which I had already been to = already blogged about = read about in my archives.
