Summer has come and gone

Well it seems summer has come and gone already for me. I packed my bags, boarded a plane and found myself back in Indonesia for another school year. I got safely to Indonesia last night after over 24 hours of traveling. It's a long flight but everything went as smoothly as possible which was nice.

After arriving to my new house (in the city of Kota Baru Parahyangan- a name I had to say frequently at the airport as I was trying to find a way to get here) I was met by my three roommate who had already arrived. We also went over to say goodbye to our school nurse who will be going with her family on furlough this coming year. I was able to stay up until 11 pm last night and was so exhausted that I slept all through the night and woke up very rested this morning at 7 am. If you've ever tried to get over jet lag you know that this is a good sign that I'm probably well on my way to being adjusted to the time here.

Today I worked on unpacking and setting up things here at my house. I had a few errands to run so while I was out I stopped in at the new school. It's looking great! They basically have everything done inside, although it still needs to be cleaned and there is lots of unpacking to do. Outside they got our covered sports hall put up and grass planted. Tomorrow I'm going to start working at school on the numerous things I need to get done there before school starts on August 19th. Arriving here is truly a reminder that summer is over and now it's back to work... and there is lots of work to be done!
