Monday

Well. Today’s first day was very interesting. I have no assistant. So I was the only one who could help the students understand me. Yeah. I think we were okay. I have fewer students – only 18 and that’s nice. I was totally making up some games/activities for some of the time because I didn’t have enough prepared. And because some of the things I did at the other camp just wouldn’t work this time.

Now I’m sitting in the office preparing for tomorrow. It should go better than today. And it’s only a 4-day camp (yeah!) Yvonne just told me that she is considering going to Penghu, and if she does she would need to bring someone along to share the costs. It will be pretty expensive and it’s just 3 days, 2 nights. The weekend after the Kenting outing. I crunched numbers and said, “Yeah, I’d go.” So now if she decides to go, I’ll go. Penghu is a group of islands on the eastern side of Taiwan. It would mean more time on the beach and doing water activities.

Yvonne suddenly turns to me and says, “My friend thinks you are beautiful.” I was like, hm, thanks. She has a pic of the 2 of us on her IM. Then a few minutes later she laughs and explains that he just broke up with his girlfriend. So I may not be coming home after all. Just kidding! He asked her if I was single and how tall I am. She said she recommends me. Stinker. I don’t want to be matched. He lives in Taipei and she said I should plan a trip. I said, “I wouldn’t come back.” And she said, “I’d better reconsider then. We need teachers here.” Good times, good times.

It’s raining and I need to go to the store. I think I’ll be walking since I need to buy laundry detergent and more water. Both of those are big and I don’t want to risk it on my scooter.
