It hit home how little time I have left in this tropical paradise. Well, this tropical nice place anyhow. There are only 4 more days left with 7th grade, and only 5 more left with 6th. So sad!

On the one hand, I'll miss these kids SO much, I'll miss the school, I'll miss the people, I'll miss the country, I'll miss the climate(!) etc. etc. but on the other hand, I can't wait to see all my family and friends, to go to bed under a duvet (bliss!), to watch BB4 in the evenings, to go to the pub for a pint, or to eat fish and chips on the beach.

Pining for the things that are not in your life is not healthy, however. So pull yourself together young lady. You should count your blessings everyday and live life in the present at all times. After all, there is no guarantee that tomorrow will come. So do it today. And don't worry about the fish and chips and duvets you haven't got, and start appreciating the sun and love and laughter that you do have.
