semi-ironic title

I hate having to title these posts. I'm just trying to talk about my day to day life to give myself and possibly others some perspective. I'm not writing a novella.

 So another week is well under way. I am starting to have a bit of discipline problems with my students so I guess you could say the honeymoon period is over. My students are still respectful but they are starting to figure out that I am not a stickler for punishment and I mostly just make idle threats. I'm not getting great amounts of sleep so I am usually tired but I am not too stressed or overworked as I have figured out how to manage my time and get my work done well so that is a huge relief. The first few weeks I was so overwhelmed I didn't think I could ever get all my work done and still have a life.

Its getting to the crunch time as far as figuring out what I want to do for christmas... I need to make a decision soon if I want to find a cheap flight therefor making it possible but I just don't know where I want to go. I have in theory so many options. I could go to India and stay with my cousin there or go to China which I have always wanted to do. I could go down to Australia and visit some old L'abri friends or just stay here and visit some of the other islands. Do I want to be warm or cold, do I want to relax in a first world country or do I want to risk getting sick on my holiday and go 3rd world. Do I want to stay with friends for Christmas or do I want to be completely alone. A lot of options and very little time to decide!

Okay, back to work and back to school...
