Observations/Realizations so far


  • Sunday is the new Monday. (Weekends are Friday & Saturday.)
  • Milk gallons (still available here, pew!) have rectangular bases, not square ones. Genius.

  • Everything feels just a little bit sticky.
That's a Smartboard! Back to my roots
  • I am one of three members of the secondary math department.
  • The other member has been nicknamed "The Nutty Professor."
  • Still no textbooks or curriculum map for any of my classes yet. School starts in 9 days. O_o
  • Produce is sold by the kilogram (no wonder it all seemed so expensive)!
  • There is no stopping the Arabic subtitles on the TV. I've tried all the things.
  • Sounds like an ad, but my Venture credit card is my new favorite thing: ZERO fees for any purchases!
  • I miss having adventure buddies around. Getting to know people takes time, ugh. :P

I miss this guy. SO MUCH!

  • Malls aren't just for teenagers anymore - seriously! They are a main source of entertainment for everyone.
  • Scuba is huge with expats. So glad I have the gear and the certification!
  • Wifi isn't friends with brick walls/I need another router.
  • Hang-dry seems to be the way of things.
  • So much instant coffee everywhere. EEEEW.
  • Take-out is super inexpensive. I got dinner for 3 dollars. THREE DOLLARS!
  • My residence visa needs to be done soon, so I can get on with my life! (Car leasing, liquor license, phone contract, bank account, shipping address, etc all need it.)
