Not long now

Three weeks from today I will be on a plane to England...How on earth did that happen?! I am incredibly excited after reading up on Batam and trying to imagine myself living life Indonesian style! living in indonesia
I have realised though how crazy it is that my plan is to arrive in Batam on Sunday and start work Monday! Yeah, didn't really think that through ;) Might try to arrive a day earlier if possible.

I know this blog isn't all that interesting right now, but I hope to write more interesting entries once I am in Batam. So, if you are reading this, please keep reading and consider "following" me (thanks Nat and Tim!) so that I know I'm not just talking to myself!

I also did it to overcome my minor addiction to buying Cherry Cokes from the drinks machine outside my place of work. I was very proud of myself for sticking to that resolution for the whole year, minus one minor lapse in July when I sipped some excess Mr Pibb off the top of Jeff's drink at Pizza Shuttle... This year I have decided to make up for lost time by having multiple new year resolutions, which are... 1) Learn Indonesian! It appears to be a simple language to learn the basics of, and my kids love it when I tell them what words I have learned, so I have no excuse not to learn it. 2) Read at least two books each month, one for pleasure, one for work-related research. 3) Practice yoga every day.
