Tomorrow is the big Talent Show I’ve been organizing.. which is why if you’ve tried to call or email, you may not have gotten a response. I’ve been so stressed about it, but after our practice today, I’m feeling much better about everything. Basically I’m the “Director” in charge of EVERYTHING, but the nice things is that the students themselves have prepared the acts, so I don’t have to worry about that! I’ll post pictures when it’s all said and done!
To get away from the stress, a few of us went to see “Mamma Mia!” last night… it was AWESOME! Okay, if you hate musicals, you may not enjoy it as much, but by the end of the movie I was ready to DANCE! It was so cute, and reminded me of all the songs my parents used to sing to us back in the day :).
OH, and in Nonthaburi, and every other city near the river are preparing for a potential flood! September will be one of the rainiest months in Thailand, as well as into October, and apparently some of the cities north of us have had some flooding, so everyone is gearing up, and stocking up on food. We all have been buying water, and non-perishable food items to keep in our rooms upstairs, and as soon as it looks like it will flood, we’ll have to move all our furniture upstairs, and then be trapped in our house if it in fact DOES flood. Of course, if we know in advance, we would evacuate up north to Chiang Mai, but it’s difficult to predict when or if it in fact will flood. BUT, if we are trapped, I have lots of nuts, small soy milk boxes, peanut butter, and cereal. Such a great selection, I KNOW! 🙂
Good news, we have 43 days until October break! I can’t wait! I’ll be flying to Cambodia, then taking an overnight train to Vietnam with several friends. Should be a great relaxing break, and I’m excited to sight see around the both countries! (I’m not sure if I already talked about October break, but it’s quite possible I did, because we are all looking forward to it!!)
Anyway, I’m praying a lot about what the future will bring, even though I know I have plenty of time to decide. All the schools in Thailand are beginning to expect much more out of foreigners who want to come to teach, so if I do stay, I will for sure need to begin pursuing a teaching certificate, or MAT degree this January. Decisions, decisions.
Here’s a video I’ve made with my pictures up until this point.. for your viewing pleasure:
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers, letters and emails! May God bless you all!
