Some Interesting Title that gets your attention and make you want to read it.

So I made it through the first week of the new school year. I also made it through a very long week. The first week was kinda of rough. It was long. I lead morning circle. I have 11 students in my class. I was very helpful and running around helping all the new teachers the best that I could. I have used up a lot of me. On Tuesday (3/3), the teachers went out for dinner and then singing. On Friday (3/7), I was pretty sure there wasn't anymore of me left. I Honestly, thought about going home and crying instead of going to the base for bible study. I had cooking class and we made cookies. I had spent all just giving over and over again. It seemed like there was nothing left. On Thursday, I had looked at Erik and couldn't remember what class I had to go and teach. He made a comment about the way I looked and the confusion of which day it was really just shows. So come Friday, anybody would can understand the hole, is there any Michelle left? I was pretty sure there was no more. Christine approaches me and ask if I will do morning circle just on Monday. I told her no I won't, but I will find a song ready for whoever is going to do it. Christine didn't like this answer and we sort of had a confrontation. Bill ( a new teacher) told that just went over like a fart in church, but that I was in the right. After that I get on train and head for Yongsan. Mary Beth lost her id, so she couldn't sign me into the base, so I had to wait for Eric (another soldier) to come and let me on. I waited a good long time. I made it there. They were all pretty welcoming. It did me a lot of good to sit around an talk about God. I also got to talk about James and how wonderful he is. After bible study, Eric bought a burger and some apple juice for dinner. The small things that keep you happy. Afterward, I went to the Turners'. Gayle was still up, so I talked with her. I told her about James. Then I went to bed. It still feels like home and life is pretty good.

Saturday (3/7), I had singles. I cooked mac and cheese again. I called my parents in the morning and talked with. I got to hear how things aren't really improving over there. The Az goverment cut spending in education, which never really makes sense to. Things aren't going well, so let's spend less money on it. That will fix things. After singles, Mary Beth, Amber and I went over to Tama, Tama, a bar, and watch some of the army band play. It was nice. Anita (from church) was there. Stephen and Brad (soldiers) were also there. It was relexing evening. Amber and I went back to the Turners'. It was a quite night with just the two of us. I think I like it best when it is just the two of us. Don't get me wrong, I love the people in singles, but sometimes, I just want it to be simple and quite and get that when it is just Amber and I.

Sunday (3/8), I had church. We went out to lunch and then Anita and went to the bookstores. I had another India meeting. Then I meet Jason and went to get DVDs and have dinner.

Had another pretty normal week of school. Things are going well and like my students. It's nice to only have to teach phonics to three class, instead of having two classes of phonics and then having math and language arts to teach my class. It would be great if they were in the same book, but two classes are in one book, and my class is another. It's pretty easy though. Tuesay, the teachers went to say good-bye to VIncent. He has quit. Wednesday, I meet up with Mary Beth. We had dinner and a bible study.

Friday (3/13), Bill had a party at his place for the teachers. I went and hung out. I realized that these new teachers aren't really my crowd of people. There was more of focused on drinking. I prefer the people. It doesn't really matter where my drink is and what it is. It matters to me who I am with more.

Saturday (3/14) I called James. I meet up with Steven (new teacher). He and I went looking for a thrift store, that has either moved or isn't there anymore. We parted ways. I went looking for my bookstore off the 5 line and then meet up with Jason and April for dinner at Dus Tacos. Then we went to Rainbow and sat and talked. It was a nice night.

Sunday (3/15) I went to church. I brought Cathy (new teacher) with me. For lunch, I went over to the Stones. They are this family from SIBC, they open up their home to us and feed us lunch. I played with Faith, the youngest of three. She is very cute and sweet. They are starting to feel like family to me.

That's life the past couple of weeks. Nothing to big, nothing exciting. Anyways, I miss you guys, and I love that you are there for me even though there is an ocean between us.
