Howdy! Turns out, April Fools is not such a big deal in Malaysia...came and went with nothing to report! I feel as though I must be settling in here because things are not inspiring me to write, nothing seems interesting or abnormal anymore and life is life! I'm settling into a routine of waking up whenever I wake up (as long as I'm at school by 10), which is fantastic, and life is slowing down...I walk slower, I work slower and have much less going on in my life which is oddly quite nice. In Ottawa I felt that I had to move a million miles an hour, the gym, school, life, Murph, but here there is not that option. When I was in Trinidad I came to the conclusion that the reason things moved more slowly, aside from the obvious wanting to enjoy the amazingness of the islands, is that there are no super-ginourmous-everything included-monster convenience stores in which you can go workout with your children in daycare, do all of your shopping for the month, including clothing and leave all within 2 hours and having spoken to no one. You need to go to different places to get different things and people talk to each other. Now Malaysia is not quite as friendly in that sense, and people generally don't talk to each other, but life is slower (and hotter!) and I like the ease.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still working, but I'm having fun and being relaxed! Last night Super Dave took me for a run outside....yea, outside, in 35 degree heat in the sun and humidity! I lasted about 4K and headed back to the aircon gym to bike, but it was so great to be able to run outside around a lake without cars and noise and craziness!
Ok, you're getting bored of my relaxedness I know!!!!
Of my adventures, well, they're on hold aside from the running! The weekend is coming and you should be excited cause I will be adding pictures when I do my starbucks time! I'm also heading into KL to explore this weekend, the towers are on the list and I need to find my way to little India. The peeps are travelling this weekend, so I'm home alone for the first time since I've been in my padlocked condo and as much as I love them, I'm excited to veg!!!!! That's it for plans, though knowing this crowd they'll be some 4 am-ness happening somewhere!
I'm off, back to being Miss Jordan and working with my fantastic amazing incredible kids! Peace!
ok - so you are teaching AND learning to teach?
