i have officially booked my ticket home. October 21st at 615pm i will be in buffalo, ny after a 33 hour plane ride.

we went to penang, malaysia on wednesday last week with lindsay and his girlfriend. met this guy linus from finland in the airport so he hung out with us all week. we had to go to make a visa run since i am only allowed in the country for 30 days at a time. I really really enjoy being in penang, we stayed in china town near love lane. the food was fantastic in malaysia, we were really close to little india, so i hit that shit up pretty often, pretty often being 3 times in one day. lol. we went to a huge buddhist temple called kek lok si, its one of the biggest in asia, it was really beautiful and the view was amazing. i bought alot of postcards so expect mail. we didnt really do that much except drink and relax. on sat morn we went to the beach, batu ferringhi and stayed in a guest house right on the beach. the ocean was so incredibly warm, i couldnt believe it. there was a night market in town but by this point i didnt have much money left. we drank a 26er of tequila on the beach, and the last time i did that, i threw up bubble tea in a bird bath and left my shoes at some party. this time, i lost my shorts with my wallet and new earrings, my wallet thankfully only contained 10 ringits, which is like 4 dollars. but i ended up being really hungover with NO water. not as bad as linus though, he lost 50 ringits, his pants, tshirt and shoes. thus he had to ride the bus back with no shoes or shirt on. it was pretty ghetto. oh they got stolen.

i only have 3 days left of work before idul fitri holiday, in which i am not going thailand, but going to bukit lawang, an orangutan sancutary. i will be going trekking in the jungle for 3 days!! so yes, i will sleep in the jungle and hopefully not be killed by a tiger, or sucked by too many leeches. i am really really excited though because there are only 3 places on earth that there are wild orangutans. and as scary as it would be i really hope to see a tiger probably wont happen though.

after the holiday i only have 2 weeks left of teaching! i am so so excited to come home. i cant wait to hug and hang out and love so many people. oh gosh. i will be working a shitty job but i think i actually sort of have a life plan. lol. maybe not so much but i have been thinking alot about what i should be doing. i think i will work until next mid summerish and then move somewhere to aupair, probably england for a year. save as much moola as i can, then come back summer 2010 and try to find a high paying job, maybe my dad's work again if they will let me and save save save. and try to go to school again to be an environmental technologist, i need to look further into the programs and who offers them cuz i am hoping conestoga will so i can live at home. by the time i graduate i will be 27 and be ready to actually start a career. hopefully i can figure all this out.

AHHHHHHH i need to plan now for my classes. I CANT WAIT TO EFFING SEE YOU!
