I have all kinds of things in my head today so here we go: 

Being in a long distance relationship is hard. Before I left I knew it would be hard but its harder than I thought. I am already fighting homesickness but not seeing your boyfriend for 4 months and having to have conversations that should be had in person by Skype or text sucks. Not to mention the conversation where you finally realize you may not see each other until July of next year. We both thought we would see each other in between sometime but its just financially feasible for me and most likely not for him. Its hard to decide if I want to use my month long holiday in January and only get to go home(because its that expensive) or stay in SE Asia and travel to 3-4 countries for less than I would pay for a flight home. I  miss him but this is not an opportunity that rises everyday. Then there is the fact that I was supposed to be home in March….until I took the job in China which keeps me here till July. Yea…no one was happy when I dropped that bomb. Anyway…the point was that it is hard. Much much harder to deal with then I thought it would be.  

It seems there has been a problem seeing the pictures I am posting on my blog lately. I think this is because I have been using a proxy since Blogger & Facebook are blocked in China. I am going to try again at home using my VPN and hope like hell it works. If you are unable to see the pictures below please let me know  

In other news! Happy Friday!!! 
I’m linking up for this fun blog hop. Over the last few weeks I have found some awesome blogs using these hops!

I spent all of yesterday in my bed sick. I swear I really don’t get sick that often but the last 3 months I have been sick at least 4-5 times. I forgot how it goes working with kids. I need to get some more vitamins and some sleep that might help my immune system out. Or according to the chinese foreign teachers I need to drink room temperature water and chinese tea and then I won’t get sick. Yep. I hear this all the time. 

Anyway I am off next week and so glad for it but that means I work tomorrow. Yikes my first day of work on a Saturday in YEARS! I hope the kids are tired too so we can be lazy bums all day. 

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! 

What to do what to do!! I planned to post about my weekend which was pretty fantastic but I’ll save that for tomorrow….

Random fact…the cafe I’m sitting at in Thailand is playing English Christmas music right now…on a Monday in August!

Anyway back to what I was saying…i have had my head set on going to China for this really good offer I got to teach kindergarteners…more money, free housing, flight reimbursement, and a bonus but I would be done in August of next year.

Then I got an offer in a bigger Thai city up north…teaching online video classes to Korean students…less money, more free time, staying in Thailand, being in a city with more foreigners and things to do.

I just came from a meeting with the guy and now I have no clue what to do. I know the most obvious answer is to go to China but a part of me has fallen in love with Thailand and its hard to commit to living another 11 months in another country..

I know this seems like a ridiculous dilemma but I’m stressed nonetheless…any advice?? I wish it wasn’t 3am in Chicago so I could talk to my mom haha

Anywho can’t wait to read your Monday posts!
