The day before, the day before Christmas.

This past week has been rather quiet, we have not had any lessons due to mid term tests, so I have kept myself busy with painting and cleaning the house.
I have received a lot of what seems like positive feedback to my video blog, however I am not sure if it is sarcasm or not. Overall, I am pleased with how it went and ave already started on the next.

I am going to give you all a little message for christmas, I may even sing, so make sure to keep the volume on your computers down if watching. I do apologise in advance.

This weekend has been lovely, we have met up with 6 other volunteers to celebrate Vicky's 18th birthday and Christmas. There is a big party at our school on Tuesday which should be good, as the teachers like to party. Me and David have been asked to perform, so we kindly accepted and have been practicing. David on vocals and keyboard, Me on standing up in front of everyone, forgetting the words.

Two weeks ago we helped to run an English camp at a monastery. It was a strange experience as I am still a little unsure of the cultural no no's when it comes to monks. It did turn out to be very productive and the novice monks had a great time learning english. They all had their heads and eyebrows shaved, so I gave myself a challenge of finding the one who looked most like my dad. There were a few close contenders, but then one came in wearing glasses and blew them all away. It did make me laugh.

I am learning the names of more students a school, which is a difficult task. I know the names of my favourite students, I know you shouldn't have favourites, but you just can't help it. One of my students has a remarkable resemblance to a friend, Phil Waite, so even though his name in Vun, I can't help but call him Phil.

I have received a few presents from home which is amazing, thank you so much to everyone who made the effort to send one, it really does mean a lot, you are making my Christmas. There has been a bit of a problem with the parcel from my parents, and it is somewhere in Thailand. It has all been sorted now, so I am just hoping that it arrives before Christmas.

I will post again on Tuesday...

Stay classy ... World
