i think this has been the busiest week since i have moved here.

we are in more classes now, and wednesday i actually had to make lessons and teach them.
in fact, in one class the teacher actually left! hah.
and a girl asked me yesterday if i could give her private english lessons.

its funny, because i have NO training as a teacher.
but for some reason, since im a native speaker, im the expert.
its kind of a weird feeling.

ive also been kind of blah this week.
i feel bad for my roommate because she has to put up with me sorting through the moving/cultural adjustment process.
i think i would have to say that as of right now its actually getting harder, not easier.
im not sure why that is, or if its okay to feel like that.

maybe im just entering into some sort of 'realization' process.
like anyone can go anywhere for a month or two and enjoy it.
but i guess now that i have realized this is actually my life, its a bit different.

i think i thought i would be able to handle it better.
i thought that i would have no problems. that it would be pretty easy and natural.
and that i wouldnt feel the new culture to be so abrasive.

only time shall tell huh?

but at the end of the day,
sitting in the dark listening to some david gray, things are still pretty good.

praise God for life right?
