Um, yes, I’ve noticed it’s almost February, but that last few weeks have been so crazy busy that it still feels like the begining of January to me. So, here’s to a new year!
I’m not really a “resolutions” type person, but in the interest of self improvement, in 2007 I’d like to:
Leave behind:
A year of [...]

What does it take to get your average teacher to stay home?
How about 2 simultaneous inner ear infections and a continually worsening case of strep throat (dispite the fact that you’ve been on antibiotics for 3 days now and you only have enough for 5 days)?
Yesterday I went to work. Planning lessons for a substitute [...]

I have a lot of respect for doctors, I really do, but I’m getting pretty good at some serious self-diagnosing over here. I know you’re never, ever supposed to self-diagonose, but frankly, I’m the only one inside my body, right? So, therefore, I would know the absolute most about how I feel compared to other [...]

One of the best things about living in Malaysia is being in the midst of the wild jungle basically everywhere you go. We can see the jungle from our balcony, monkeys are always scampering about, and we can always hear the chirping of exotic birds in the tall, graceful trees in our neighborhood. Kuala [...]

Around a month ago, as I was perusing the blogoshphere (Alex hates it when I use that word) I discovered this fantastic new website called Expat Women (which officially launched this past Tuesday). As the wonderful founders, Andrea and Jill, describe the site:
Expat Women is a new web site designed to help all expatriate women [...]
