Lessez les bon temps rouler!
- my cousin just taught me what they say in N.O. today:) (Let the Good Times Roll!)
Eat a lot of Creole for me!:) I am in Congo, where they speak French but they know a different Creole. We eat Congolese or French (Belgian, European), and my mama's good homemade (from scratch!) food. Here they'd say "Bon Fet!" (sp) for good party, or just to get a response or handout from you!:( It is fun. I don't have any beads to wear today. Oh well. Such is life.
It is a rainy day in the tropical rainforest of Kinshasa. So be it! I'm glad I'm feeling better today at least. I am enjoying my s l o w life here. However it means that I'm online much less often (which can be a good thing) just means that you (reader, friends) won't see much of me, and I will miss you.

From your Globetrotter...
So, I really like the idea of International Teaching.
Yeah I know right? Crazy. I used to think teaching wasn't for me, that I wasn't cut out for it. But I have 12 yrs of childcare experience, I love working with kids (just about any age), I love directing and children's theatre, so why not teaching drama right?! Insane. So, given the opportunity to teach and direct high school drama here in my new life in Congo, got me pursuing it. I would need to get my Certification done, that is key. I would like to pursue my masters in Fine Arts someday, just not right now, so I will look into Int'l Teaching and what all I need. But I really love it. I love traveling and I love teaching kids (esp. drama, since that's not "stand at the blackboard all day" it's using my education! HELLO) So it's an idea I can pray about and see what God wants.
I have had a quick cold which turned into a cough, then this wknd I got the fever and tummy bug going around, so either it's that or malaria, I'm taking meds for. I'm really not worried, I knew I'd get eaten alive(the bugs find the one spot I didn't cover in repellant), so I'm just really missing that suitcase that has my nutritional supplement inside.
God knows. Why worry? Life is so much slower, and more enjoyable here, on campus, with my family, in a good church, rather than my crazy past life in the states. He knows. He's faithful. So what, who cares and all that jazz...:)
