Hey everyone. SHOCK. I'm posting twice in a month!!! WOW!
Ok well here's the deal...It snowed today! Sure, it was kind of dinky, and the flakes were really small, and it was only for like 10 minutes...but it SNOWED! I was so happy! :)
It's been really cold here for the past week. I've had to use my heater...which really only heats the floor...it takes a LONG time for it to reach the rest of the room (although my feet are happy and warm when I'm walking around...lol!)
Well that's about it. Don't expect to hear from me again for a long time. LOL!

New updates!
Hey all!
So it's November. It's getting cold. And the air quality hasn't gotten much better (oh well!). I'm not sick anymore *knock on wood*, but I still occasionally have that cough that just WON'T go away.
Work is going well. I am on auto-pilot, and I am excited that there won't be any more changes in classes between now and Christmas. There are officially no more classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays until next year, so we use that time for presentations, learning about how each of us teach certain classes. Hopefully, it will be useful and effective. The kids are great (for the most part), and I enjoy teaching them...and it seems they have all really improved, which makes me feel REALLY good...that my effort and hard work I've put in is actually starting to show! It's a great feeling...truly.
Speaking of Christmastime, there's under 40 days now till Christmas, and till I get to go home! I am really excited and looking forward to seeing my family, and all my friends!!!! I have around half of my time home planned out, and will work on the the rest once December comes. I don't want to become obsessed with making plans and getting into that way of thinking, because honestly, it will only lead to homesickness (which I've had BAD recently). Like I said before, I'm on autopilot...the work week goes by SO quickly...and I really can't complain about anything here. Of course I miss EVERYTHING about home, and specifically the people there that I love and care about...but I know they love me and care about me...and me obsessing about it only adds stress and homesickness to my situation here...therefore, yes I'm freaking excited...and yes, I will plan (probably too much)...BUT there's still over 5 weeks left, and my priority (until I leave) SHOULD BE work and my life here.
Another piece of news: I bought my plane ticket for Hong Kong, and booked my hotel (park view room BABY!) for my trip to Hong Kong Disneyland, January 25-27! I can't wait!
That's pretty much it here. I miss everyone at home...but I'm doing well...hanging in there, and really enjoying my time here overall. I frequent the classical concert scene, and try to do something new every week. I got my haircut, which wasn't a disaster...and it seems like I've lost weight...so no complaining on my end!
Hope everyone reading this is doing well. Miss you all! Leave love!
