Summer 2012: Phuket, Thailand – 41 days to go and 8 until Hong Kong
I’m long overdue to post some pics. Sorry… The really good news is that the rain seems to have broken for a bit and we’re back in sunny weather. The past couple of days we’ve been out on the scooter for most of the day exploring the island of Phuket. I’ll post more on that…

Who Cares?
Okay, so I’m having a bit of a pity party on my behalf. So, if you’re not in the mood to read my whinging or just don’t feel like reading anything down, this is not the post for you! First, there really is nothing in my life that is so bad. I have a great…

Adoptee Deportation/Citizenship Challenge

Every semester/term, we are encouraged to have some sort of outside co-curricular activity for the students. At the beginning of the semester, I organized a course-wide excursion to Ikea since we were doing a project around interior design. However, for the second trip, I decided it would be good for my students to have their…
