The last entry of 2008! This calls for a list.
Things I have done in 2008:
1. Turned 22
2. Student Taught and learned the struggles and rewards of teaching
3. Swam with a Master`s Team
4. Interviewed for JET
5. Coached swimming for the first time
6. Graduated college
7. Moved away from Fort Collins
8. Got accepted for the JET Program
9. Retired from my job at Foxridge after working there for 10 summers
10. Moved to Japan
11. Made new friends from all over the world
12. Tried to immerse myself in the Japanese culture
13. Lived by myself
14. Showed a friend from home my new life
15. Traveled to another country (well, I will be doing this in 2008)
16. Learned how to teach English as a second language
A milestone of a year, I'd say. I have done so many things I had never done before and I have pushed myself outside of my comfort zone time and time again. I am hoping that kind of thing builds character and that I have the greatest character ever!
Things we are doing in Thailand:
1. Elephant riding
2. Hiking
3. Ox cart riding
4. Biking through the countryside
5. Seeing shrines, temples and museums
6. Bamboo Rafting
7. Spending time in villages
8. Being complete and utter tourists.
We will then be coming back to Japan where we will play the tourist role again. I am assuming that five, big, white foreigners are going to get stared at everywhere we go, so I am going to prepare myself for that now.
Until then I will be finishing up here, going to the gym, saying goodbye to friends and packing! Happy Holidays and catch you in 2009!
