My new class....

So I've started my new class and lets just say that it is definately intense! I am trying to not feel overwhelmed but it will suck my social life away for the nest two weeks which I am not so happy about so I have to keep reminding myself why I am taking the class...its a possible career option. Granted teaching is enjoyable and I do want to learn about strategies for teaching English, however, I prefer that it not suck my life away.

Anyways, the students will be coming back to Chiang Mai tomorrow and a few will leave on friday. This week nothing super exciting has happened except that i've been getting logistical things completed and then theres the lizard....gecko to be exact.

So in Thailand geckos living in your house is a common sight and usually at night you can here them scampering around with their sticky feet. Last year there was one that lived in my bathroom and we became close friends because he kept his space and I kept mine. I was just always aware of my surroundings when I took a shower so that something gross and sticky didn't jump on me while I was naked...however the one in my room did.

Now granted when this nasty little sticky thing jumped on me I wasn't naked but definately I was unprepared. I had seen it crawling around the wall of my apartment and I thought now big deal as long as it doesn't touch me.

Well I was throwing some garbage away and I saw it on the ceiling above me when all of a sudden I FELT it one me and flipped out when it jumped off me and into the garbage can. That was it now he had to leave because I didn't want it crawling on me while I was sleeping. So I poked the bag and nothing happened so i thought maybe it had gone somewhere esle. Just in case I started to carry the bag outside and BAM this little green yucky thing flies out onto the wall. I could hear its sticky feet as it ran so I grabbed my broom and spent 5 minutes chasing it outside.

My neighbors were probably wondering what all the noise was about but they had no idea the battle I was having. So now Joey is gone and I can be happy living alone again.
