Nepal

I was rather disappointed that I was not going to get to go to Tibet and China this summer due to SARS, but I have found an alternative that is almost as good. I will be going to Nepal and India this summer. I found the Prajwal School, a 6 hour bus ride from Kathmandu.., where I can volunteer to teach English. (Who knew being able to speak English would give me so many opportunities) I will be staying with a Nepalese family and be immersed in their culture. I am excited about this opportunity, but a tad bit scared, as with all new experiences.

I will then stop off in Delhi in India on my way back to Vancouver. I am looking forward to seeing parts of the world that I have only dreamed about. I am looking forward to seeing the Tal Mahal and eating authentic Samosa's. I have always been interested in Central Asia and am ecstatic that I will be able to spend time there. Keep your fingers crossed that the ceasefire in Nepal will continue and that my travel agent finds me a great fare that my school will pay for. Yippie!!!

TGIF

Yippie!!! I am so glad it is Friday. It has been a long long week, although it was a shortened work week due to the holiday on Monday. Nonetheless it is great that tomorrow is the weekend. I love Fridays...let me say it again...I love Fridays...not only cause I get to sleep in tomorrow, but on Friday nights I get to play volleyball with my kids...I promise no shaking them though...;).....and I always take Fridays off from studying Japanese...okay...a little lie...who am I kidding.....I take every day off from studying Japanese....

Yeah, yeah, yeah....Friday....

Getting Married

A friend of mine from high school, Karl, just told me that he is getting married. I want to send out a big CONGRATULATIONS to Karl and Cassandra on the engagement. I am happy for them and wish them well. It seems that we are reaching a point in our lives where people in my graduating class from high school are getting married and having kids. Strange to think that we are all getting older...it seems like yesterday we were all in Mr. Alfred's Math 12 class studying for provincials, I will forever remember "B is Best".
