Meet Jaimie Myaing-
>> Sunday, August 31, 2008
Last night we found out that cockroaches can fly. Well, more like Jaimie found out. I ran to the other side of the room while she killed it. She’s the braver half of me. She’s the peanut butter to my jelly, the cheese to my macaroni. We’re like two peas in a pod. She wrote a blog about me, therefore, it is my turn to write a blog about her. Jaimie and I hit it off from the start. She’s a little shy before you get to know her, but she opens right up after awhile. We’ve had some rather interesting times already, and it’s only been a month. I’m sure we’ll have more fun times ahead. I don’t foresee us killing each other anytime soon. I think the cockroaches would kill her before I would. J
I think my favorite thing about Jaimie is that she cares about everyone and sees the best in everyone. She also doesn’t judge. I like that. We make each other laugh. She helps me survive. I can’t cook. She took care of me when I was sick. She made me eat lots of food when I was taking Prednisone. She found me on the floor when I was passed out. She’s the Splenda to my iced tea, the air conditioning to my humid life. Haha. My favorite part about this picture below is that we had no idea that we were both doing the same thing. Talk about being the same person! Right now I’m frustrated because the Internet has stoppedworking completely. How obnoxious. Jaimie is patiently reading a book outside, while I sit here wishing the Internet would work. She’s also a very patient person. It takes pretty special people to work with 2nd graders and maintain that patience. This week is a short week. Hallelujah! I’m looking forward to having my first day off!
I decided I like that the weeks go by so fast. I can’t lie, I’m constantly looking forward to the weekend. Next weekend I get to relax and enjoy an extra day. Friday is what they call “Dri-jerbal” day. (It’s not pronounced Dry Gerbil, but that’s how we Americans say it) It’s basically their labor day, just like we have in the US.
Ah, good things come to those who wait! The internet just started working a little bit. Maybe I’ll be able to post this today. What a concept! You know, here are the resort there are always white people around. I’m always wondering why people are here. It's not exactly the ideal vacation spot. I mean, I know there are a lot of Mormons here. I always see them walking around in their ties and stuff. There are other white people teaching at the school right next to us, called Co-Op. I wonder what they do for fun. Anyways. Life is basically not super exciting right now. I’m just getting into the routine of things, I guess.
