Winter Break

It's officially the last week of school here and I am getting excited. It's an Awesome week because

A: It's only 4 days, we get New Years off on Thursday.
B: I'm doing one Christmas words BINGO lesson for every class so my prep is relatively simple and the kids love BINGO.
C: I'm not sick anymore!!! I was deathly ill on Christmas with a 102 (38 C) fever.

Next week we have the Winter Break ceremony and I start my camp. I've decided to rock the Back To The Future theme. I'll teach for 2 hours a day for a couple of weeks and then I'm done. I'm not 100% on where I go from here, but it's on my mind all of the time. I'm hoping they don't make me teach the first 2 weeks of March to fulfill my contract to the letter (I got here a little late). I'm guessing if they want another teacher they won't since the 2 of us can't share the same apartment.

So my tentative plan is to come home to visit around late February/early March if possible.

New Years eve on Wednesday should be fun, I'll see if I can poach some pictures of that.

I'm making chili flautas for dinner tonight and I'm really excited!!!!

Thailand?

The plan has gone from Engineering in Dubai to yacht crew in the Mediterranean to staying in Korea and now to possibly teaching in Thailand next year. My friend Dan from high school teaches there at an international school. He said he might be able to get me a job teaching various subjects starting at the end of next March. This falls right in line with when I will most likely be looking to work again, and living in Bangkok would be a trip so this is a very likely possibility. Nothing is set in stone yet, but this is the direction I am leaning today.
