Things that end in CL, Ryan Seacrest and more

My knee saga continues!! I finally have some answers not great answers or anything I wanted to hear but answers non the less. I got in to see my Orthopedic surgeon a good three months earlier than originally scheduled because I called them every day to see if there were any cancellations :) I'm pretty sure they saw me just to shut me up! Anyways he saw me and I found out that I have a grade three MCL tear. The MCL is the ligament that runs beside the knee cap holding it in place so those times where my knee would go out and I would be in pain for hours are when my knee cap slipped through the tear in my MCL ligament. Gruesome right? Wait it gets worse... I went to physio last week and the physio therapist assuming that my MCL was only torn did this thing where he put a seatbelt over his shoulder and then around my knee and lifted my knee with his body weight all of a sudden my knee made a popping sound (GROSS) and he went "OH no!" (NOT something you want to hear in the middle of a physio session) apparently after he put my knee cap back in place he investigated and my ACL is torn as well...OH and the thing I had knee surgery originally for three years ago is messed up again (a tear in my Meniscus). So my tab currently on my knee is a torn MCL, a torn ACL and a torn meniscus. Go big or go home I guess. So I will need surgery UPON my arrivle home from China in 2010.

Ryan Seacrest....I like the guy as an american idol host I like him alot more than Ben whats his face from Canadien idol. The one thing that frustrates me about Ryan is this: He does a radio broadcast everyonce in awhile I think once a week and he does the top forty count down. WHAT IS WITH THE FIVE PEOPLE IN STUDIO THAT LAUGH AT HIS STUPID JOKES!!! and the thing is when they laugh it sounds SO forced its ridiculous and drives me nuts listen for it next time you hear his broadcast.

Other than that things are chill Im in deseperate need for money (who isn't now a days) but its frustrating...I hate you economy

Well there has been an interesting turn of events in my life lately. When I moved here there were some complications with my Visa that I found out about around week 2, so I always knew that this might happen - but I also know that the Indonesian government changes laws every other day so the chances that I would get my full visa and be able to stay here for a year where equally as possible. Basically right now I am on a training visa which is a 30 day visa that can only be extended a maximum of 6 times. Mine has now been extended 4 times. In order to get my full visa I need to apply for my kitosk which is basically my Indonesian citizenship, unfortunately the government recently put up strict restrictions about foreigners who can get this kitosk, the government doesn't believe that I am qualified enough and has kept rejecting my visa application. Recently some English teachers from another prominent English school in Surabaya got caught with drugs, which is a HUGE HUGE deal here in

I am currently reading the book "Eat, Pray, Love" and I am finding myself relating to the author on SO many levels. If you have never read it I strongly encourage you to it is a good read, and there is a movie coming out starring Julia Roberts . . . Anyways, it is about a woman who decides to take a year of her life and make it her own and travel - something she loves. There is a part in the book that I feel is straight from my experience here so far. She is talking about when she was in China parents would bring their terrified children up to her to shake her hand, which upon happening the children would burst into tears. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me since moving here, they see a buliea (Indonesian for foreigner) and bring their poor chid up to this towering blonde giant and make them shake my hand. Considering the size of Surabaya (it is the second largest city in Indonesia) there are not very many foreigners here. When I first came here it r

BALI BALI BALI . . . and stuff

My goal when I moved here was to try and update my blog at least once a week . . . I suck, I know. Things have been, well, interesting as of late. I am not going to go into too much detail but basically a vicious rumour was started by someone Kelsea and I had called a friend. Long story short she knew she was wrong and is no longer in Indonesia. Well the week that this all came out was a tad stressful so Kelsea, Tico and I decided last minute to go to Bali, this was decided on Thursday night and we left on Friday. Friday morning I went to book the tickets and forgot to book a return flight home (I am stupid I know). Thankfully our boss found us tickets to get us home, but we had to pay double for the tickets. Anyways our flight was scheduled to leave 8pm on Friday night, I was finished work at 6:45 and the airport is 20- 3o minutes away from the school. I told Kelsea and Tico to be at the school for 6:45, of course they were late and we didn't end up leaving the school until 7:20
