**Getting acclimated Living Overseas**

Today I Cried!!!!! I mean boo hoo cried!!!! I went to the local 7/11 got some of my favorite snacks and came home sat on my roof top and CRIED!!!

Let me go back and catch you guys up on what’s been going on with me. I know I haven’t been on here for a while but I’m going to start posting more.I have a lot to teach everyone and a lot of cool experiences overseas. I’m officially living in Thailand. I recieved my TEFL certificate from a onsite school in Chaing Mai Thailand and I moved to Bangkok because I always wanted to live in the city. OK, back to why I cried today lol.

I cried out of frustration. Last week I was at the bank for 4 hours trying to get into my foreign bank account and I wasn’t able to do that because I didn’t have a thai phone number.Long story short after 4 hours at the bank (noone spoke English fluently) I was able to access my account.Then, I went to the local internet company to set internet up for my new condo I’m renting for the year and I needed a passport to do so.I went all the way back home got my passport and everything was good to go. The next day a technician came out and installed my internet and he insisted I ordered cable and I didn’t. Then after he installed everything I had to go back physically to the internet company and speak with them about this additional service I didn’t ask for and was not going to pay for.They informed me it was a promotion to add the cable for no additional charge. Sigh of relief!!!! I started working at a government school that I LOVED but the agency I was working for was underpaying foreigners and not communicating them about very important things like pay. My pay was 5000 baht short and I was told it will be full pay. Unfortunaley, I had to resign immediately because I couldn’t work under those conditions in addition to getting acclimated into a foriegn country. Lastly, I sat at immigration the other day for 6 hours and when it was my turn I was informed I was at the wrong immigration office. By that time the immigration office I needed to go to was closed and had to go the next day. Needless to say it’s been communication issue after communication issue which has lead to my break down of crying!

After I finished my dramatic breakdown, I thought about all the great positive things that I am grateful for. I have been able to travel the world literally. I have been from north Thailand to south Thailand backpacking staying at hostels. I have been to Kula Lumpar Malayasia and I just left the Phillipines. I AM truly blessed, humbled and grateful. I know it’s only a matter of time before I find a new job and things start to fall in place the way GOD intended them to. As I always say our BEST days are ahead. ALL things are working together for our good!

I am so happy and grateful that my bills are paid and I am so happy and grateful for supportive family. I’m super grateful for my sister just to speak with someone who gets me and genuinely love and care about my well being. No matter what your situation is right now write down the things you are grateful for and it will turn your day around. Feeling hopeful and optimistic!!!!!
