Back to Reality - Kindof

It's Monday again... and I'm back at work! This week will be a very easy one. I have to introduce myself to the students, so in all the English classes I'm just saying hello and a few things about myself. The students are back this week for exams and for graduation. It's a bit odd to how the school year works around here. Winter break from the end of Dec - after the lunar new year (Feb 7th this year), then class for 1 week. Then a 2 week "spring break" and a new school year will begin on March 2nd. For the spring break I will be teaching the soccer boys again. It's cute, their parents want them to take English because they think their kids will grow up to be great players that will play soccer all over the world ;) It's a good thing I didn't plan to travel anywhere in Feb. I will save all my travel for spring/summer/winter! 

I enjoyed having a week off very much! Although I just got here, a vacation to do some relaxing was very nice. I am not sure I made the best of it, but I sure did have a good time! 

We have had some "great" weather the past few days! Mild winter temps, 0-5degrees C, feels much better then below 0! 

The first of the races that I have signed up for is next weekend, it's just a little 5k! I am very excited for it. It will kick off my big race season. I have been a bit off in all my training, but with the break in the weather I'm excited to be back out there running! I am in search of a new bike, since mine in the US was sold before I came, I need to get a new one. I'll post whenever I buy one. I'm hoping to find a good used one and not have to buy new.
