Dear friends, family, and students,
Happy Holiday! I hope you all have a great vacation!
I am sorry that I have not written in quite some time. To say that I have been busy would be a lie so, I'll just tell the truth. I forgot my password and couldn't get on to update my blog. Please keep in touch. I am hearing that my students are upset with me for not writing. I believe that I have answered all e-mails sent to me. Please send your e-mails to carolhinsdale@yahoo.com and you will get a reply. The weather here is perfect. I am still wearing shorts and sandals. Everything is green and flowering and the swimming pool is still warm. It is like the perfect summer day in Vermont. OK, OK, I will stop rubbing it in. Heard you had a big storm last week and that school was closed. Snow days are my favorite days. I will be working in a different position here at Montfort and I am thrilled about it. It should be much better than teaching in a classroom of 55 students that I meet with once a week. I spend a lot of time sitting around doing nothing. I have really missed all of my students at home and hope you are all doing well.Toby is here with me and we will go out tonight for dinner with my Thai teacher to celebrate my birthday. Toby is having the time of his life over here. I bought a fake tree and a few decorations for my room to make it feel like Christmas but, without the snow it really doesn't feel like Christmas. I am off on holiday to an island beach in the Gulf of Thailand the day after Christmas and will post some pictures when I get back. Elliott, I have not forgetten the asian toliet for you. I will post that picture as well. Take care! Now that I figured out my password, I plan to update more often.
