another week off..

so.. its been an exciting week.. ive moved houses.. which i must say has made me so much happier.. i was really stressing out... ive also been really productive with making a workbook for next year. i got two semesters from one of my classes done.. now just waiting to meet with my counterparts to see what they got.. also found out that ANOTHER volunteer is going home. gone home.. she got in trouble for riding a motorbike.. from hearing the story there was a lot going on around it.. and its sad.. we are dropping like flies this year.. it sucks! better quit soon!

then national exams was this week so no class.. made for a semi-boring week.. got to go to school to use the internet for a little bit and then listened to the listening section of the english national exam.. i must say it was pretty difficult.. i dont think any of my students could have done it.. and i have a lot of faith in my students but every time we do a listening section we have to listen to the tape at least three times and they only played the exam twice but they moved so fast! half of the questions were not written in the book so you had to pay attention to the questions and then all the answers (multiple choice test).. the only thing it had going for it was that it was very clear..

and then today (yesterday by the time i post this) i went to visit a volunteer in jombang. Erika is one very awesome person.. i rode my bike to her site which wasnt bad on the way in.. we got some ice cream then left our bikes at her pasar and then went into jombang city. we went to the pasar (market) there and walked around.. i got some scarves and some shoes, so it was pretty productive.. we walked around a bit which was nice.. i dont get to walk around a lot and it was nice to see something other than my site.. we got some pizza for lunch and then afterwards we walked around for a bit more and then went back to her site to just chill for a little bit.. it was nice getting a chance to see another site.. ive only seen two so far and i hope to see more.. getting out of site is fun haha..

so yeah.. not too much going on.. one of my teachers at school is getting married on saturday.. so im pretty excited.. i really like her.. shes only a little bit older than be and we’ve had a few convos about stuff.. ill try and get some pictures of that.. also got to get some pictures of my house.. i have some of my room.. if i can upload some of the pictures without killing the internet connection at school, then ill try but i cant guarantee anything.. im also out of internet and not sure when ill get it here at my new house..

but yeah.. nothing too exciting is going on.. which is nice.. cant handle it when there is a lot going on..

so yeah hope everyone is happy and healthy!

love you all!
