Finding Routine

For the last month, I forgot what it was like to have routine in my life. It all started in the beginning of December when my school flooded. Classes were canceled for almost a week and I now had more free time than I knew what to do with. When classes resumed, our schedule was adjusted to make up for the missed days. This meant teaching 6-7 classes a day, from 7:50-4:30 for two weeks. Needless to say, there were many misunderstandings of where to be and when, but we made it through.

After we finished our flood-make-up-schedule we jumped straight into the Christmas schedule. This meant Monday’s schedule on Thursday and so on. We then had testing and half a week off for New Years. On top of that I have been traveling for almost every weekend since the beginning of December. I visited, Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Singapore, and Malaysia. Phew, talk about busy. We finally have our first full Monday to Friday week in what feelings like ages! I had a quiet weekend at “home” here in Trang to relax and prepare for the next few weeks. I am looking forward to finding my routine again both at school and in life! I have found that the easiest way for me to do this is to jump back in at full speed. I have easily picked up my old schedule of after school tutoring, gym, and time with friends. It's all about balance! 

One goal that I made for the new year is to continue to pay it forward. I strive to live this every day, but I want to try something new. I want to send you a postcard from Thailand! Leave your name and address, and I will send a postcard with a fun, positive message from Trang, Thailand. Everyone deserves a piece of mail that isn’t a bill or online shopping! Don’t be shy!
