I’ve had an extended leave of absence from this blog in recent
months. While many are happy about that
fact, some will be joyed to see it resume. By some, I mean my mom. Who says still says I’m special on the
inside. Thanks, mom.
Kidding aside, there is a lot of catch up on. While I’ve been blazing through these last
five months, things are about to slow down substantially as I prepare to end my
tenure at my current school and visit ‘Merica after a year of imported Diesel. My football (Yes, football. Not soccer) team
decided to go undefeated in divisional play and make it to the semi-finals of
our Cup. One of the top four teams in all of Jakarta, I’m okay with that. Proud
of them all and that will be one of the toughest things to swallow when I leave.
For the travel junkies that may read this to hear about my grand
adventures, my school breaks have been pretty tame. My spring break was a three-day excursion to
Singapore (to fill up on booze, mixers and peanut butter M&Ms) only to
return here and give extra classes to my graduating class. Great use of my
limited time here in Asia, I know. But
alas, we have to do what’s best for the kids. My teacher friends understand
what I mean, unfortunately.
However, my roommate and I were able to visit Yogyakarta a couple weeks
ago. This historical city in Indonesia
is home to some of its most famous temples and absolutely ridiculous amounts of
batik (If you don’t know what batik is, look it up. It’s amazing). We had a jam-packed two days which included
shopping, temples, shopping, Dunkin Donuts and more shopping.
I can’t wait to be back stateside, folks. Really. Busting at the seams
waiting for my brother’s wedding, visiting my family and friends, drinking good
beer and breathing quality air. Just a couple weeks away now, so mark your calendars and have that diesel on ice for
me. See y’all soon!
