Love More

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

My 2 month anniversary has come and gone . . . 2 months has gone by ridiculously fast. Today I ate lunch at the American Grill, which is the same restaurant that I ate at the first night I came here and I was having flashbacks to being exhausted and actually quite confused to what was happening around me, compared to how I am feeling today. Indonesia has now officially become a part of my every day life, I have gotten over the tourist hump and I now feel like it is my "home". I still have these moments where I am like "Wow, I am in INDONESIA!!" There are so many things that I now find familiar that two months ago where totally foreign to me. Things like taking a taxi EVERYWHERE (let me remind you that I am from Lynden and had taken maybe 5 taxi's my whole life before coming here.) When I first arrived here, I had learned to tune out all outside conversation because, well, it gets overwhelming being surrounded by groups of people who are speaking a language tha
