Stomach bugs

Hi everyone! I thought that my time off from school would be a great opportunity to make a new post.

Yeah...I have a nasty stomach bug. I finally went to the hospital this morning and got a diagnosis and some medication after suffering all weekend. I guess it is one of the downfalls of living in a place where you can't drink the tap water and have to be leary about eating street food.

School has been flying by. I'm not going to lie to you though - kindergarten is not for me. This school is not for me. It could actually be such a great place but the silly things that go on are driving me nuts. I won't go into details but I will say that you wouldn't find half the stuff that goes on here at any other school in the world! The teachers would revolt.

Furthermore, I haven't really adjusted to Bangkok yet. The heat, the pollution, the noise, the traffic, the lack of green space is all still a big hurdle for me. Sure, different food every night, and a multitude of bars to choose from is tempting. But who's kidding who, I don't booze it up anymore and I can only eat out so often. If anyone has any advice how I can lighten up and enjoy myself more, I'm all ears.

So needless to say, things could be going better here and I'm looking for a change at the end of the year (I just hope I can last to the end of this year!)

We have some traveling coming up. In 2 weeks we have a week long holiday. Jess and I are going to Chiang Mai and Pai for the week. We are very much looking forward to getting away from her for an extended period of time. I will post again after that trip.
