早安!!

早安我的朋友!!

i have been having a lovely last couple of days, and since my co-workers are getting sick of them (kidding...) y'all get's to hear them instead! ;)



Monday



overall a pretty chillaxed sort of day - mondays always are :) we have a fabulous group of kids here this week (gotta love having "problem children" again ;) )



Tuesday



was an awesome day! i'm still having a hard time waking up in time for morning classes, but after guzzling a can of coca-cola (not recommended as a morning drink!), i was bouncin' off the walls! {{hehehe}} guess that's what teaching on 5hrs of sleep does to a person... ;)

hmmmm... but coming that evening i just felt extremely warn out. emotionally. physically. spiritually. yeah, i kind of just felt very [blah] >_>

running usually helps.
but not last night :(

in fact, i got onto the track last night (was just going to do a few laps, cuz i was sooo tired/caffeine from the day was wearing off and i was crashing) and after walking two laps, started to jog... and i collapsed. [[weirdest feeling ever]] that has never happened to me before and it scared the heck out of me! so i got up... walked a bit more... and when i started jogging again, it literally felt like i was running on broken legs!

the pain was overwhelming!!

but me, being camille, kept getting up ... walking a bit... jogging 1-3 steps... and collapsing in tears. ::sigh:: it was depressing! and i am sooo grateful that no one was on the track last night, cuz i would've been quite the pitiful sight :P

after about 30 minutes of this lovely try+fail attempts, i finally just laid down on the track and cried. i couldn't believe that i could NOT run. i felt totally and utterly pathetic.

and then i looked up at the sky.

it was filled w/ stars!!!

since the first day i've been here (back in Taiwan), i've had yet to see stars in our sky. and last night, out of the blue, we had stars. we didn't have a moon, but we had stars!

a love the calming effect that stars have on me.

so... instead of running last night, i decided to have a nice long talk w/ the Big Man Upstairs... while gazing at the stars for about an hr :) it was purely delightful!

then i came inside to have some "computer-time" before bed... AND i got rambunctious and decided to make some "blueberry muffins"... minus the "muffin" part, cuz we don't have muffin pans (laaaame)! lol. they tasted more like blueberry pancakes (looked like 'um too). hehe :) :)

Oh! and then Charlie (our really cool security guard) came upstairs and brought me a drink from 50C (some sort of milk-tea-stuff... sooo yummy)!! it was sooo cool! ... and then he proceeded to teach me the differences in Chinese/Taiwanese... and Japanese... and Korean. lol. ended up being a late night too ;D

Wednesday

woke up to a beautiful sunrise!!!!
had a few moments to putz around on the guitar. one of my kids heard me playing and then i got to "teach" them some chords... it was sweet!
now ... the day is halfway over. camille's feeling MUCH better.... going to make herself a cup o' coffee right now (will hopefully have it guzzled before class starts back up) aaaaaand (with any luck) will indeed go running tonight! oh for happiness!!

Love y'all lots <3

BTW!!! did anyone else just realize it's DECEMBER 1st?!?!?!
