Hello! Once again I find myself finally updating the blog at the end of a month; I don't even know where the month went. Life here in Ningbo has been rough to say the least. First, it hasn't been sunny/not raining for like 3 weeks and its killing me. Second, we have been two teachers short for about 8 weeks. I have been teaching 7 extra classes a week, and it has taken a toll. We finally got a new teacher in, but its not looking promising that he will make it here much longer. Boy, life is hard.
Work is good though I guess. I love these kids and the actual teaching is great. Thanksgiving is this week. We have work Thursday but we are going to do activities and have the parents come in to see what we've been doing. Then we have Friday off. No plans for the three day weekend.
We have four days off for Christmas, so Clay and I will go to a mountain cabin place to relax and enjoy the mountain. We also have four days off for New Years. I believe we will travel with Chinese coworkers. In February, we have three weeks off. Clay and I will go to Malaysia and Borneo. I am very excited about all of those travels.
Just hanging on and trying to survive the year. I missed Trav and Pam's baby shower, and that's sad but I also missed snow, and that's not that sad.
Hope all is well. Love to all!
Here are pictures from Sports Day and Halloween at school.
