Hello my readers,
A lot of you have made public and private requests to me that you'd like to hear about my observations on people and my day-to-day life as an EFL teacher and expatriate in Cambodia.
So I thought I'd give a brief update of my life every day for the month of November. Some of it might be trite, dull, or routine. Most of it will not consist of well-illustrated adventure or anecdote. But that's the thing about life: most of it is boring.
So here begins what should be a typical month for me. Keep in mind my thyroid is still rather problematic (i.e., I don't always feel like sitting in front of a computer after a long day's work and I'm still angry at stuff all the time) but I'll do my best to faithfully keep this inglorious basterd updated till November 30.
Right now I'm sitting in an internet cafe. This has been the fourth time inside today--the apartment building I live in is being refurbished, and the sounds of multiple men hammering and drilling and destroying things in the room next to me is sometimes so deafeningly loud I literally have to run out of the house with my hands over my ears and take refuge somewhere else. Given the fact that this generally happens at 7 am on weekends and during lunch hour on weekdays, I don't have a lot of sympathy for this whole operation. The fact that the same thing has been going for the last 3 weeks without much change? All the more so.
The internet cafe will be closing soon, so I must check out till tomorrow.
Sounds like a resolution!
ReplyDeleteI'm smacking my lips, waiting to read you posts everyday! Your blog about your life is not boring at all, and even it is, you still make it so full of interesting things, funny even. I still can't believe that you don't want to write a book about your life and become famous.
