Change

I don't like change. The most obvious proof of this is staring you in the face: my blog, which has gone roughly unchanged for the past 5 years. I found a layout I loved, and I've stuck with it, despite the fact that it doesn't really cooperate so well with the "new" (or even "newest") version of Blogger.

Other examples to follow suit:

It's not so much Change itself that I don't like, I guess (change happens, it can't be helped; I mean, thank goodness for it, too, otherwise we'd still be living like the 80's with the big poofy bangs, and those blinding neon colors), it's the part where changing means saying goodbye to one thing so that you can move on to the next. 

When they say "Taiwan will touch your heart," they're right. It has truly touched my heart. It has (ironically) changed me in many ways. It will always be a part of, me and the time I spent living here will always be one of my most treasured memories. Here's to hoping that, this time, it's not "good-bye" forever, but "until we meet again" on the beautiful Ilha Formosa.

P.S. Merry Christmas! This year, I'll be celebrating just with my Dad, and, when this posts, traveling around the Southern part of Taiwan before heading off to Hong Kong for adventures galore. If there are two weeks without you hearing from me, it's because I'm having far too much fun with my Daddy (and possibly no internet) to bother with blogs and things like email. If that's the case, then I'll catch you again sometime in January!

Guys, there are so many things to blog about. So many pictures. So little time, though!

Hello, last week of teaching. How did you get here so soon? How is it already time to pack up and get ready to go home?

Moral of the story, it might not be until January, but I'll get you all caught up at some point. With more pictures than ever before.

I'm sorry. I'm a lame face.

Many of these pictures you'll have seen before. And, also, I'm only doing one picture per month. Sorry.

July: Christina and I are blessed with two trips to the hospital for an MMR shot

August: AK finally has more than 5 students!

September: Christmas at Costco!

October: Halloween happens.

November: An "American" Thanksgiving with friends in the lounge

December: Staff Christmas party, with a special visit from Gerald Santa!

Happy Birthday, Blog!

Today, my blog turns 6. Yup, I've been an avid blogger for 6 whole years now! Incredible how time flies.

Speaking about how time flies, in approximately one month from now, I'll be back home. Probably fighting jet lag.

Guys, this is why I'm here. (P.S. Sorry for the dis-jointed music videos. Also for my voice.)







These were all taken last Wednesday. For some reason, Coco did NOT  want to be on camera.

Also, there are pictures!

HA! You were not fast enough this time, Coco!




This is Tim skipping (hence the blurriness of it all), and it makes me laugh every time I look at it.

Coco and Jack during Eliminations. They were the only two left in the game

I gave everyone a balloon to try to blow up by themselves. Sam was the only successful one by the end of the day, but their facial expressions in the attempts? Classic.




I told Ray to stretch his balloon some more....


THERE WILL BE GREAT, SOBBING TEARS WHEN I LEAVE THESE CHILDRENS!

To the Future Teachers of Berhan

Dear Future Teachers of the Berhan Language Institute in Taiwan,
If you happen to find this blog before you leave the States/start packing, then you should send one of the current teachers (or myself) an email. You won't need half of the crap things ILP suggests that you bring.

Dear everyone else who is interested in my life,
The semester ends in 19 days. My dad will be here in 19 days. I will be home in 33 days. How has this happened so quickly?
