April 14 - April 23

April 14

Words of the Prophets



This is the first thing I saw walking into my new bedroom. I have saved it for this day, the first day of my last week of teaching, and my 23rd birthday.


April 15

Comfort



I can't properly express how much these slippers mean to me. Because I got them from my family, who isn't really my family, but became my family by making me feel at home. And giving me slippers that are cozy and lovely.


April 16

Bouquet



Flowers arrived from friends at home, prompting much joy in my heart and much teasing from my family. Who is the special boy? they asked. All my boys are special. Thanks.


April 17

Stew



So tasty.


April 18

Corks



This two-square foot box of wine corks brought to you by the teacher's lounge.


April 19

Silhoutte



That's a funny word.


April 20

Mount Oberon



If I ever had a ship, I'd name it Oberon, because it sounds nice and is relatively bad-ass. This mountain wasn't really appropriately named, but we climbed it anyway!


Squeaky Beach



This is unbearably artsy but I swear it was unintentional.


April 21


View from Bed





People should regularly photograph their work surfaces/bedside tables/desks so they can be analyzed and remarked upon.


April 22

Gurkha's



I ate here not just because of my 20% off coupon and not just because of my desire to learn what people eat in Nepal, but because the name of the restaurant is a personal in-joke that I can't even explain.


April 23

Toiletries



I'm sort of disgusted by how much of this I own, but I also know it's not much, and you can tell it's practical rather than girly by all the blue and white labels.


Next stop: America!
