The Travel Gap

I had a very busy week preparing for the upcoming Christmas parties. I believe I've made more crafts and listened to more Christmas music this week than I ever have before. There was a lot of shopping, decorating, and panicking as I made my party list and checked it twice.

The Christmas festivities are in full swing. This week consisted of making cards for the Great Christmas Card Exchange and setting up my little Christmas tree.

I’m going to be honest with you: Nothing really notable or exciting happened this week. It mostly consisted of me either standing in front of a classroom or sitting behind my computer. Regardless, I didn’t want to leave you hanging, so here’s a brief post about me rushing in the Christmas season. This is a shorter post than usual, but I assure you that the remainder of the month will be filled with exciting stories.

It’s hard to believe, but I’ve been in Thailand now for around ninety days. During this time, I’ve adjusted to the new culture, learned some of the language, and built some incredible relationships. It’s truly been a remarkable experience. However, unfortunately for me, ninety days is also the duration of my visa. I’m not quite ready to come home yet, so this meant I had to embark on a visa run to Laos in the hope of applying for and receiving another visa. Please fasten your seatbelts because this week was such a wild ride.
