Leaving for Guam

Back in December I booked a trip to Guam with Bill, Jess, Dave and Michelle. And the time has finally come where I get to actually go on the trip. I leave tomorrow, Friday, at 9:30 pm. We don't get to Guam until after 2 in the morning. Then, thanks to Bill, we all have to be at some meeting place by 9 am to go on a 3 hour hike to some water falls. We're all going to be dead tired but it'll be worth it!

After that we'll probably just lay around on the beach, go snorkeling at some point and just have a good time. It's crazy because this is the first vacation that I have taken that I have paid for myself. I feel like an adult.

Anyway I just can't wait to get out of Korea. Today is my 5 month anniversary of landing in this country and though I like it here I'm excited to go somewhere where I'll understand what everyone is saying. Beach and warm weather are also a major bonus.

When I get back, which will be Wednesday morning at 8:05 giving me exactly 1 hour and 35 minutes to get to work (umm yes there is a possibility I may not make it), I'll come home and upload pictures. That'll be a sad day.

Kinder side note: Sally in Brown comes up to me and goes, "Ashley teacher, I changed name. I'm Serena." And I was like, how do you spell that because though I would pronouce that Sir-e-na she says it like Sir-in-a. I looked at her and said, "I'm going to call you Sally." She seemed a little defeated.
