I know as time goes on, my blogs are few and far between, but honestly there isn't much to share. Don't get me wrong, Palau is spectacualr. It's just repedative. Each day I wake up, go to school, go back home, eat lunch, tutor, and either go to basketball or church meetings. Life isn't exactly boring, but it's just predictable. This last weekend I decided to change that. Saturday after church and a nap, Jeanine, Tami, and I went with Austin to go surfing. Unfortunately it was too far away, so we ended up swimming in a channel nearby that one third grader informed me was sewage. Lovely. It was still fun, and quite refreshing. That evening, we decided to go out to eat at RIC which was a great time and only made better by our hyperness. Tami and I sprinted down the road singing "we are soldiers", "ain't no rock", and numerous other Christian songs. It was quite enjoyable. Needless to say, we were extremly awake and found ourselves sitting on my bed at 2 am not wanting to go to bed...we at least I didn't. I finally convinced them that we needed to go swimming. Because they're not needed, let's just skip the details of that evening and go on to the next morning.
After going to bed at 4 am, I thought I'd be able to sleep in on Sunday, but sadly this was not the case. I woke up at 7 and waited for Tami and Jeanine to wake up until noon! Then we tackeled the extremly hard task of cleaning our apartment. Let's just say that no human eyes should ever have to see that. It took us about 2 hours, but it was finally livable again. Then we went on a shopping excursion to Surangles and got some clothes! Lots of fun! I suppose we got other boring things like food, but no one wants to know about that. We also finalized our plans for Christmas break! Tami, Jeanine, Austin and I have decided to go to Manila! We originally wanted all the SM's to come with us, but most of the rest have plans. Carl even has his whole family coming to see him! Anyway, we decided that we wanted to go to Manila and started talking to a travel agent to work that out. I'm super excited because I've never been to the Philippiens before! It should be an adventure for sure.
Yeah, I know how that goes. I started writing almost every day and eventually just stopped. Things become "part of life" after a while
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the movie Groundhog Day? When people would ask me what my life was like, I would tell them I was living that movie, but it was OK because I was stuck in a good day. But even the sun is predictable... never changes like at home. But this phase is good, it means you are "at home" now.
