I'm Back!

I've been meaning to update, but it seems that settling back into the daily grind has been more complicated. I've managed to post some pictures on facebook, but I fully intend on entering some excerpts from my travel journal, accompanied of course, by some photos. I have absolutely loved backpacking laterally, and longitudinally across Thailand. There's such a transformative power concomitant with traveling-- I feel like a new person after every time I travel.

Needless to say, I'm very happy to be back. Some changes this semester: Now I have an English classroom of my own in both schools, a favor granted by both my directors. Coincidentally, my classrooms are also the resident libraries, so I plan on incorporating the advantages of my setting. My schedule is also amended for this semester- hopefully the way my time is divided with the two schools fosters better learning and memory for my students.

Lastly, I wanted everyone to know that I am quite safe here in Nakhon Phanom, despite the turbulence Bangkok is embroiled with at present. Interestingly, the latest headline in the Nytimes website signals a possibility of stability. I sure hope so, because my mom will be visiting next month!
