November in Thailand

I honestly don't have much time to write (what else is new), but for those of you who faithfully keep checking my blog in the hopes that there will be, here is a quick update.

Fall break was awesome! I loved Japan. Check out the pictures I put on facebook if you want a better idea about the trip, because it's been 2 or 3 weeks now, and I can't remember that much under pressure. We were planning a trip to India the first weekend in December, but that fell through today. Ah well.

Soccer is over. The girls did awesome at their last tournament, with a great fourth place finish that could've been first, if the tournament hadn't come down to goal differential. One of my girls was MVP of the tournament, and the guys finished second. It was a fun trip being out of school with the students; I'm glad I went.

Now that soccer's over, however, things have not lightened up the way I thought they would. My schedule is busier than ever, especially with progress reports needing to be ready by tomorrow. School's really been very up and down lately, and I am more than ready for a break. I did finally make it to a couple different parks to go running, of which the second one became my new favorite place in Bangkok. It's pretty, with a long peninsula jutting out into a "lake." Nothing like running in Cambodia, and getting out there makes me actually feel like I'm in Thailand instead of cloistered in a giant school bubble.

It's hard to believe November is half over...there really isn't that long to go before Christmas break with all that I have to get accomplished by then. I am very tired, though. Adam finally finished at basic, and he's at tech school right, still in Texas. Eventually he'll get stationed in Colorado...fortunately for me, he's got some time off for Christmas, and I'm looking forward to seeing his handsome face again in person.

Well, time to do something productive again. Hope you're all having a good month; have a happy Thanksgiving, when we get there:)
