One Month Down, Three To Go

Been ultra consumed with planning my island-hopping trip next week, so I apologize for the delayed post. After lapping up street-vendor dinner delicacies on Friday night, we blasted some tunes and crushed some 75 cent coolers in one of the girls' rooms. Then another great evening was spent visiting at Mr. Ting's over a bottle of blended whiskey... never thought I'd learn to enjoy it, but I surprise myself every once in a while. Hitched yet another free ride, but in the back of a pickup truck this time, downtown to Post Laser Disc, the main 'farang' (foreigner) hangout.  
Packed with loads of randoms to mingle with, the hours and drinks wasted away. The music enticed us onto the dance floor eventually, ridding us of the little energy we had left after another week of teaching.
I've also been prepping to test my students for the first time since I've been their instructor, quite a daunting task. Not completely sure if they're absorbing everything I tell them, their results reflect directly upon me... scary! But to my relief, the first day of testing went very well with some students receiving almost perfect scores... phew! When the writing component is completed by each of my twelve classes, next up is the speaking component. I definitely have more confidence in this module, so hopefully their grades prove me true. Wish me luck! (and I'll be wishing my students luck in the meantime haha)
