Sorry I haven’t posted in so long. The last few weeks have seemed like a whirlwind, as we get adjusted back into a work schedule and numerous social events.
The first week back at work, I helped with a spelling bee at an elementary school for grades 1-3. I also started teaching this American Culture & Visa Interviews class at an off-site location. It’s really challenging, since there is no course-book and only a loose outline of what they want me to cover.
Last weekend, we played charades with a bunch of fellow teachers and friends on Friday night, held a wildly successful BBQ at our house on Saturday, and went to a big theme park in Jakarta on Sunday.
This weekend, I played pool and went dancing on Friday night, checked out the newest incarnation of a popular bar/hangout on Saturday night, and joined fellow teachers for a housewarming brunch on Sunday.
Whew! Finally, I had my first accident when I misjudged the speed of another motorcycle at night. My motorcycle was knocked out from under me, and I basically just hopped off the bike on impact. I walked away with no scratches whatsoever, but a pounding heart and ringing ears (from adrenaline). The other guy was okay, too. My bike’s front wheel fender is smashed up pretty good though, and will need replacing. Although I guess the accident was considered pretty minor compared to others, I’m still feeling grateful not to have been hurt. I don’t want anyone to be scared, just passing on news. And yes, I was wearing my helmet, like I always do.

Glad it was the fender that took the crunching and not your leg!
