1. Teaching is good. I really enjoy my students. The seniors are starting some Greek literature, and after last year, I finally have some background and experience there. They seem to be enjoying it. The sophomores are going to make Medieval newspapers. Woohoo!
2. Soccer is good-ish. I feel bad that the girls are mostly having a losing season, but they are playing some really hard schools with mostly European girls. Rather intimidating. The Varsity got their first win today, but it was in a tournament, so there were losses at the same time...which was sad. But I do enjoy playing with them. Turns out I will be going with them to the tournament in Phuket the first weekend in November. JV has a winning record, so that's nice. One of the girls got injured kind of badly again today, but she's fine now.
3. Today, Lissa and I took moto-taxis to meet up with Andrew's family to get to the tournament, and my moto ended up crossing behind a truck that was stuck in the mud. It spun its wheels and sent chunks of muddy rocks flying, one of which hit me in the foot and bruised it pretty good. It's sore. I guess I should be thankful that it hit me in the foot, though.
4. Other things at school are still hard.
5. For fall break, I'm going to spend a few days in Manila (the first place I ever went in Asia) and then go to Kyoto, Japan for the rest of the week with a couple friends from here. Very excited for a fun vacation away, especially to Japan, where I've never been before.
6. Adam is 3 weeks from the end of basic. Please keep praying for him, especially that he would get one of the jobs he's interested in. I think he's getting nervous about that, and so am I. He just finished gas chamber training and is moving on to something called the Beast. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to being able to talk to him again. I miss him a lot. As of this Monday, we will have been together officially for a year.
Okay, I think that should last a while. Happy October:) Man, I miss fall!
