holy shit long time since my last post.
um work on mnday was full about filling my head with the paper work lesson plans procedures and crap crap crap. I was only there for a few hours, this week is just training for me so no actual teaching.
By the time I had walked the 30 seconds tomy home I had a call tocome out for dinner. The other teachers here are great in the fact they invited me abso9lutely every where and never leave me out of the plans. out to dinner and then the boys and luke went out. He got home at some ungodly hour. I didnt go out as I was meeting some teachers in the morning at 9 30 so went home to bed. Met sue and Richard at j co. the best donuts Ive ever had inmy life are here and a descent coffee too. They took me to christa and tims so I could see what 16 million would buy me for the year, Yes a years rent UP FRONT, they have a really nice home open plan with 5 bedrooms. Way too big for little old me. Then off to work and I observed 5 classes of 1 hour 20 each. By the 3rd I needed toothpicks to stay awake. This was the night I was suppose to meet up with Faruk, my future husband, but I had to text him and say sorry that I would not be up to meetinghim. I was shattered. from work at 9 luke and I went out to dinner and back home. Wednesday.. umm oh I think I went out house hunting. There are some really dumps here for 18 and 20 million, a few that i would live in if I have too. i only had 1 class this night. same same night with dinner and home watched some tv series. Thursday I met a friend of one of the teachers Pauline. She has been here for 6 months by herself and was excited another female to hangaround with. We had lunch and got along really well. Initially the meeting was becasue she wants to share her house. I went to see her house andit would be great to have been sharing with her but have since found a younger aussie who will share and Paulines house will be WAY to small. Thursday morning I met Pauline around the corner from my place and we went swiming in a hotels pool. you can pay 20,000 and use the facilities there. I had pancakes for breakfast and the worst coffee in my life. after swimming for a few hours we heading to kedai kita, where they have the best coffee in my life. pity the pancakes donuts and coffee are not all together ay
Friday, I got the number of this aussie chick that moved here 3 weeks agoand also wants to share, so we met up with her after an hour of angkot(taxi bus) and ankors(taxi motorcycle) she fianally arrived at maccas to take us to a house that she had heard of. Into an angkot to go around in a circle and back to maccas. haha. We got on the wrong side of the road so wrong direction. an hour an a half later we arrive at the house and the lady is still waiting for us, not back but id seen better.
Rebecca, the aussie, is away for the next two weeks so I have taken on the duty of findingus a home. She will sign for anything that I think I can live in. Back to work for lunch meeting and more talking with pat my supervisor and getting instructions for handing over classes.
IM TEACHING ON MONDAY
friday night was sue and richards loast day so all the teachers had a farewell dinner.
From here Pauline and I hit the pool hall for drinks and dancing. I WHIPPED ALL THE GUYS ARSES. not sure they will invite me back again and if they do it will be to make money off me. haha
Luke was staying with me at the bed and breakfast in the same room until the owner found out we were not married, He then had to move to the other room, he got asked to pay for him staying there and to find somewhere else tostay the next night. He has also not heard back fromthe original job he was chasing. He has been in bogor chiling out with me and its cheaper than jakarta. He looked into another job and then my school offered him a job here. He told them he was waiting to hear from the other job and then they called to say no go and now my school has taken back the offer and WHO KNOW WHAT HE WILL DO KNOW. I think that he is going to go to jakarta on monday and suss out the origianl job.
Saturday I was up at 8 30 early again to meet sue and richard for coffee and DONUTS from heaven. I was going to see there house and some others with an indonesian. Still not looking any better than before. I am off to negotiate for one that is ok. needs paiting inside. It has, get this A BATHTUB a western toilet the shower is already installed just need to buy the hot water heater. its two bedrrom with a really nice patio area out the front. they want 18 million but ill take it for 16 million. apart from that I will kick it and keep looking. I still have 3 weeks rent free so thats cool with me.
Ok tonight I have been invited to a party, first by pauline and then christa invited me to a party and sie and richard just text to invite me too. LOL turns out its the same party haha. Richard says that im soo cooleveryone wants to be around me.

So ive had a few drinks sitting here writing this and a feed of pasta carbonara,im ready to go home and get ready for the party.
