I am an only child and I like it that way

I'm learning quite quickly that I really enjoy being an only child and I really enjoy my personal space. The children here really enjoy poking, hitting, slapping, and hugging and I really enjoy not being touched in this heat. My cousins never did a very good job for letting me know what it is like to have a sibling and I have come accustom to my personal space and now it is being invaded every day. I need to stop being ticklish so that every time I get poked in the side I don't flinch cause then it won't be so much fun for the kids! I love the hugging I just don't like the poking, slapping, or being hung on whenever I walk by.

I have cut down the amount I am working and am much happier. I now work half days because we have enough people to cover everything. I have been working in the mornings and taking the afternoons off to go to the beach, read, or studying about where I am going next. The beach that is a two minute walk away isn't very nice which sucks but if you take a moto you can get to better beaches around here. By 8:30am I start sweating and trying to make sure that I get 3 liters of fluids in a day is hard for me but I am getting better at it because I don't like headaches or being light headed.

The weekend before I leave CCPP will be taking between 30-50 kids to Angkor Wat! It will be a long 4 days, two of them spent traveling, but an amazing experience! This is a huge deal for all of them to get to go on this trip. I'm excited but completely overwhelmed about the experience at the same time.

I'm hot and need to sit in a cool place with my water and a book before I work this afternoon.
