Story Time

So much has happened, I don’t know where to start.  Plus I like telling stories in person, I can dramatize it more that way ;). 

Anyways here’s a few random ones.

Rice.  I’m tired of it.  I can still eat it, but not two bowlfuls as the people of Cambodia think I can.  I’m sorry but my body is already full of rice.

Internet.  I’ve had little and its actually been nice not being constantly connected to the world.  I can focus my time more on making friends with random children.

Jellyfish.  I got bit by one…then my director had to pee on my foot after I passed out on the way to the hospital on a tuk tuk.  OK not really.  I wish I had an elaborate story like that though.  For Real:  I was swimming in a beach and felt something bite me, but didn’t do anything.  Then later that day when I took a shower at home I realized my toe was bright red and swollen.  The most observant award goes to me.  So I told my interpreter and she gave me some medicine that took down the swelling and redness.

Lobster.  A two hour motor bike ride with a tank top doesn’t treat me well.  

Children.  I’ve made at least 5 bff’s with the little kids around here.  Through making these friendships, I’ve realized that working with youth is what I really want to do with life.  It randomly just hit me one day after we spent all day at a school and I made bffs with a specific girl.  We were driving home and I said to myself if I had to spend all day with kids I would be happy.
There has actually been a few times random children will come into our guest house and we become bffs.  There's one boy that lives nearby and will come around on his bike and snap his finger with so much attitude.  Its hilarious and adorable.
