I've had a small influx of followers on this blog, and I haven't updated it in months. So welcome new followers :) Here's an update: I'm leaving in two weeks. Eek! Very exciting, but nervous at the same time. Why? Idek. Anyway, finished my Christmas shopping, and I'm getting all packed up. Received some new computers yesterday for the guys at the office. Two thirteen inch MacBook pros and some accessories. Seeing RJA in just under a week. So freaking excited. Annd that's about it. Bye.

Either way, it's going to be good to go back and see everyone. I miss them so much. It won't be the same as last time, but I'm sure it will be good. 

Yay, I'm back :) Im sitting in cenntrelink tryig to sort crap out. Blegh! But I have a new phone and have renewed my learner's permit. So yay.

Ho Chi Minh's letter on the US in Nam.

Well, where do I begin. I've moved back into Song's house, if that wasn't made clear already. Been there for three weeks now, and quite honestly can't wait to get out. Not to be awful, but I can't deal with all the noise. I really can't. Screaming children, loudly slamming doors, dog never stops barking. It does my head in. Anyway, aside from that, I've been strangely inspired of late. Started working on my story. The one with dragons. I was hell like "this is my first fantasy piece" but then I realised I ALWAYS wrote fantasy stories as a small child. I had forgotten about it completely. I remember my favourite one was about this magic forest where the trees spoke. Nevertheless, I diverse. It's been really good. I spent a large amount of my free time this past week writing until I couldn't anymore, then reading. And when I couldn't read anymore, I wrote. Got a few thousand words. Been successful. Also, been crazystupid busy at the office. Everyone is freaking out that I'm leaving in a few weeks, so they're getting me to do as much as I possibly can before I head back. But we have SHINE TTT with our government partners next week. This is the first time we've done it with government officials, so were pretty stoked. After that, we have a team coming over the following week. I guess I'm expected to accompany them wherever they're going to take photos. Should be good. We're also really excited abut the English Camp we are running. See previous post about life skills camps if you're not sure what I mean. Been designing material for that too. Get to do a logo with the mascot of a dog. And the workbooks. And some banners. Also been mentoring three other Vietnamese staff on using the Adobe CS. Decided to write up my own manual with basic instructions and tips. It takes a lot longer than you would think, really. Especially making it understandable to people whose first language is not English. We'll get there eventually. My credit card is blocked, can't spend money online. Damn. Gotta wait for a new one. So yeah. That's about it, really. I think. K bai x
