Oh Mondays….

August 6, 2012

I thought when I moved to another country that Mondays wouldn’t suck so bad…guess what? That is not the case! On Mondays the students are the worst…across the board in all the grades. That may be the case in America as well….but for sure no one has a good Monday with their kids here. 



So here are a few rants to start my week out right…


1. For some reason my AC in my bedroom does not turn itself back on after the power goes out(which happens at least once a week) so I wake up sweating and disgusted, get up, climb on a chair and turn it back on…this morning I did and a HUGE roach flew out of it. Thank you Monday. 


2. Getting around in Thailand can be a very very very stressful event. It took my roommate and I over 8 hours to get home from Pattaya yesterday. It should only take 2 1/2 at most. Thank you Thailand. 


3. Some people do not make good traveling partners no matter how nice of a person they are if you are not similar travelers in a few days you will want to strangle them with their own backpack strap. 


4. Being so exhausted all the time that you don’t want to work out, read a book or even move…just sit around and watch Vampire diaries can’t be healthy. 


5. Being stressed about getting my Chinese visa in time to not overstay my Thai visa is a pain in the ass…thank you airlines for being so expensive I can’t just fly home and back. 


eghhh I think that is enough whining for now! I am going to work on a post full of fun pictures for tomorrow! 



Hope everyone has a better Monday!

Friday Friday!

August 3, 2012

Welp as it turns out waiting till last minute to book things because your roommate is broke is a very bad idea! We couldn’t find a flight, bus or train to the city we were supposed to go to this weekend 🙁 after being super pissed for about an hour I calmed down and we headed to one of the islands I visited before so here I am on the beach again…just not the beach I had hoped to see. Yesterday I laid on the beach all day…got a foot scrub & manicure there before it started raining and had an amazing oil massage last night…guess I’m just going to spoil myself until I feel better 🙂

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Its the weekend!

August 1, 2012

Well for me that is…. had a wonderful weekend this past one and now I am on my last day of work this week. It is a Buddhist holiday so we have Thursday & Friday off of school! Unfortunately that means I might be kinda quiet on the blog front this week but I hope to have some quiet time to relax and read blogs by the pool or on the beach if there is wifi. I am heading to Koh Phangan for the Full Moon Party. What is that you ask? It is a giant beach party held every full moon where tons of people come to an island and party the night away.

These are some pics from the internet: 
Its going to take us a 12 hour train ride to get there because the flights were just a bit on the expensive side since it’s a holiday weekend. I am excited to get there and get some sun and relaxation. Next week is my last week at the school in Thailand then I have two weeks to travel and relax before I am off to China to teach some more kiddies! I actually kind of wish this had been my plan all along because now I am getting to experience two different places! 

Anywhoodles! I am very excited to be going and I hope to get some pics posted of last weekend and some more Bangkok photos and pics from this weekend up soon!
