i made a quick decision and accepted a short job offer in Vientiane for the month of January. there is pretty much nothing not awesome about this. except that i am close to the Laos border now, and Sunday am flying from CM to the opposite end of the country, and have to make it back by Jan 3 or 4. so money wise and travel wise it’s a bit much, but that’s okay. from what i understand, my housing is covered and i may receive some money on top of that. also, it is only one class, i believe 3 nights a week. and they are all Lao students planning to study abroad for university. i’ll be helping them prep for a TEFOL exam. it will be such a drastic change; living in the mountains and showering with a bucket to living in a capital city. there is a delicious indian restaurant right on the mekong in Vientiane; i am pretty happy about getting to eat there all the time.

i am excited about living in Vientiane for a month. i am excited about saving money. i am excited about my resume.

i am excited that by Sunday afternoon i will be dazed and confused on a beach.
