Beach trip!

September 25th, 2008

We’re going to the beach for a few days with a bunch of our friends.  We have a week holiday for the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.  Billy organized the beach trip, and there are 8 of us going.  We’re all really excited about it.

I decided I’m going to try surfing while we’re there.  It’s a nice little cove with gentle waves and soft sand, that’s supposed to be perfect for learning to surf.  I’ve been working out a lot over the past month, trying to prepare myself, and of course make sure I look good in my swimsuit.  ;o)

Don’t worry about me.  I won’t go on any “banana boat” rides this time around, and I’ve already warned our friends to avoid them.

I’m going to take my camera with me, so I can post some photos when we get back.

I survived my morning classes!

September 13th, 2008

I’m no longer doing the early morning classes.  Woohoo!  My schedule now is teaching from 2:30 pm to 7:30 pm Monday-Friday.  I have a good mix of adult, teen and children’s classes, too.  It’s so nice to be back to a normal schedule again.

Yesterday our school had our annual Spelling Bee, so we had to “work” on Saturday.  It’s not normal work…  we basically just had to show up and be on the stage for a little while.  Billy was a judge, and I was a scorer.  Billy got to say “correct” or “incorrect” to the contestants.  It was kinda fun, and we didn’t have to be there until around noon, so it wasn’t bad.

After the Spelling Bee, I went to a salon with my friend Srishti.  I’ve been feeling bored with my hair lately, and needed a change.  Here’s the result of our salon day:
