1) Why am I itchy?
2) I have to help my students prepare for an English debate contest. That's coming up on Friday.... Guess I'm working until the bitter end!
3) How many more call-to-prayers do I have left to listen to in Indonesia?
4) 17 days X 5 calls-to-prayer/day = ......ONLY 85 LEFT?!
5) Mmmmmmm, coffee!
6) I should go to school. It's 7am
7) No, I'll sit here, enjoy my coffee, and be late.
8) Wow, I've turned into such a local. I wonder if this relaxed attitude will work in New York
9) Omg, I'm still itchy.
10) It's noon. Oh no! Only 82 more call-to-prayers left!
11) AW! Ibu got me a cake!
12) Her hug is by far sweeter than the cake
13) This is my third and last birthday in Indonesia. Oh, how I've aged
14) AWWWWW! My LES students came to give me gifts
15) Why are the throwing flour at me at the same time? Oh right, it's tradition to pull a prank on the birthday girl.
16) I've gained 2 kilo since the beginning of the month
17) Whatever, I'm taking the extra serving of rice anyways
18) Omg, Bu Muji, you don't have to buy me a gift
19) Ok, are we really driving into town after dark so I can pick out my own gift? Lol, fine
20) What batik fabric do I want? Hmmmmmmmm.
21) I want purple fabric, so I can remember Bu Muji. Purple is her favorite color.
22) I'm itchy again. Ohhhh yeah. This is, without a doubt, my third time getting scabies since March
23) Wow, I've never seen Konan Beach at night. It's so quiet and peaceful. I'm glad Bu Muji and her husband took me here.
24) Bu Muji was the first person to take me to this beach two years ago. She bought me coconut milk. I wonder if she remembers.
25) The evening prayers are my favorite. Only 80 call-to-prayers left. I should silence my phone and enjoy this last one on my birthday. Allah hu akbar.
