Apologies avid readers! I've been super busy these last few weeks, what with preparing my students for their exams and generally freaking out about having to test them myself. I've had a few emails and messages from people, and have tried to reply to them as swiftly as possible, but sometimes it's hard to keep track. So if I haven't answered your question yet, please be patient :) I'll get to it soon.
I did a poll last month on my Chalkboard blog to see what people want me to write about. The votes came out pretty evenly, so in the next few weeks you should be seeing three blogs: one about food (which I've been dutifully taking pictures of), one about coping with culture shock, and one about medicine in Vietnam (which I've had some VERY personal experiences with... All will be revealed soon).
Christmas is swiftly approaching, and I'm missing the chill in the air back home, and my mum's roast dinners; make the most of it before you come out here! A bunch of us interns are getting together for a roast on Christmas Eve, but being vegetarian my options are limited. I may be making do with a plate of roast potatoes and a few veggies. But that's fine by me >.<
I've had the official meeting with my principal to discuss my plans to stay. I've been told I'll be getting a fantastic pay rise, and won't have to start paying for my accommodation if I want to stay where I am (however, I hope to move out soon as I want my own kitchen. I miss cooking, and I hate living off instant noodles!). I was also told that we're getting two new interns through TTV in February. It could be you! XD
