And So It Begins....Again

Below was my first post on my new blog. Problem is that I started that blog back in August and have not added a post since then. If you know me at all, you know that "Procrastination" is my first name. I'm "turning over a new leaf" and going to find a way to make this work. I've just found an amazing website where I can install blog templates for FREE! Thank you LeeLou Blogs for all the great choices. You'll notice I've picked a fall template with pumpkins, something I really miss from the states. I know it has nothing to do with being a teacher in Thailand, but I like it!  I've also moved to Blogger which seems to be easier for me to work with.

Our fall break (ONE WHOLE WEEK) started today so I hope to add several posts in the next week. Keep coming back, please.

First Post:

I never thought I would be blogging, but I am about to begin 3 different blogs. This one I will use for all my “teacher” friends back home who want to know what it’s like teaching in a foreign country. I’ve accepted a position as the Elementary Tech teacher at Chiang Mai International School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I will try to update this blog on a weekly basis. The first few weeks of school I will try to blog more often. Right now I need to go to bed because my school year begins tomorrow. I will have 3 days of New Teacher Orientation (Thursday, Friday, and Monday). Then next week there will be 3 days of Teacher Inservice (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) for all faculty members. Next Friday, August 12th, is a holiday. It is the Queen’s birthday and when they celebrate Mother’s Day (2 times in one year, this should be great!). I will start with students on the following Monday, August 15th. I’m a little nervous about all of this, but also excited at the same time. This is a new challenge for me, and with God’s help, I’m ready for it! Time for bed.
