Because I am…
Congratulations!!!!!! I wish you all the best :)

Found a new place!
What a busy weekend.
I met up with some friends to have an “exercise meeting”. We played some badminton and dodge ball. I then met with the real estate agent to look at new places. I told my new school that I would like to find my own place to live. They weren’t that happy with me and wanted me to take the flat they already have.

Meet and greet
Today I went to my new school. It’s high up on a hill. Very isolated and hidden away.
I met with the vice-principal and principal who don’t seem to speak much English. They didn’t ask me much apart from my age and why I’m leaving my old school.

Week two of camp is almost done. Next week this time I will be on a plane home. I’m so excited!!

I really hate desk warming. My school has decided to enforce the desk warming rule this time. Before, I could always leave when I finished camp. Boring!! At least I’m not alone. My co-teacher also has to desk warm, as well as the Chinese teacher and the English conversation teacher.
Camp for Monday is done. Only 4 more days until the weekend!
