It's 11 o'clock and I am beat... I have my little reading lamp on, got my incense lit, basically winding down after a long day, and then it starts. The theme to Titanic. Loud. But better yet, it's the karaoke version, so instead of listening to Celine Dion I'm hearing a completely different version. So I figure, alright, there are worse things that could be playing when I am really tired and trying to sleep. But after a couple minutes, I couldn't think of any, so instead I am on my computer. So with the Titanic theme on repeat downstairs (currently listening to it a 3rd time) I will write a couple sentences about my day-
My sole American friend and I decided to walk to class today. It was nice to slow down and take a look at everything along the way. We have to walk up some really busy roads to get to the TEFL building and it is definitely enjoyable to get in the thick of the sidewalk action. There are always people all over the place, so there is constantly something to hold your attention.
Dylan and I are the only Americans in our class, so we definitely receive the brunt of nationality jokes. This held especially true when we were learning about phonemes and comparing British English to American English. Either way, everyone in the class gets along really well and we generally have a jolly good time. There is an awesome variety of people taking the TEFL course with me, so it has been really interesting to hear everyone's story of how they got to be in Viet Nam. Every single person has mentioned the kindness of the Vietnamese people as one of the main reasons for their extended stay.
Titanic karaoke has just come to an end after the 6th round, and I am pouncing on this opportunity to get to sleep. Hen gap lai!
