http://tendrilofthought.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. Nov 29, 2010. In Which the Author Reminesces of 2nd Grade and Divulges His Christmas Plans. It's hard to believe that this term is almost over. Tomorrow I give four exams to my students, of my nine total exams. Next week Wednesday is the last day of school for this term. As some of you know, I'm going to Senegal and the Gambia over Christmas break this year. And guess what? To lounging around on the beach. Nov 24, 2010. Nov 8, 2010. From choir i...

A Tendril of Thought: December 2010
http://tendrilofthought.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. Dec 25, 2010. Of Christmas in Africa. It's simultaneously awesome and depressing to celebrate Christmas in a foreign (Muslim) country with no family, but two friends. It's really great that I get to spend my first Christmas away from home with two great friends, but it's not so great that I'm away from home. It makes me feel like a little kid. And remembering that, helps me to know that even though Christmas is very, very different from what I'm...

A Tendril of Thought: On Turning Twenty-Five
http://tendrilofthought.blogspot.com/2011/06/on-turning-twenty-five.html
Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. Jun 4, 2011. My birthday this year wasn't phenomenal. It wasn't blow-my-socks-off crazy. It didn't involve any big exciting event or even anything really special. But I still enjoyed it a lot. I even got some really great gifts! A full set of Indian clothes from a student (! Great video:). It was almost overwhelming. I think, that when it comes time for me to say goodbye to my students, that I am going to struggle. Glad you had a great birthday!

A Tendril of Thought: March 2011
http://tendrilofthought.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. Mar 29, 2011. In this I am staggered. How can His heart not. Be shattered to countless slivers of broken emotion? How can He stand to see the unmitigated sorrow of just one. How can He bear to know the daily miseries of every. single. person on this earth? I see a glimpse of one person's heartache,. And it saddens me for an hour. And I am changed for the day. And I am no longer just thinking about if for. But for years afterward. Let it go,.

A Tendril of Thought: On Somethings I Will Miss
http://tendrilofthought.blogspot.com/2011/06/on-somethings-i-will-miss.html
Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. Jun 28, 2011. On Somethings I Will Miss. I recently wrote about something I would not miss about living in Nigeria. This post is a list of things I will miss about living there. I realize that lists like this can be boring sometimes, so if you don't read through, that's ok. I certainly won't hold it against you. 1 Ready for a non-shocker? 7 The feeling that you're in Africa. 8 Seeing women and children carrying gigantic and heavy loads on the to...

A Tendril of Thought: February 2011
http://tendrilofthought.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. Feb 19, 2011. On the Proverbial Calm Before the Proverbial Storm. I had a good day today. Sleeping in, reading and finishing a book ( I Am Number Four. It was okay.), a cup of coffee with Caramel Torani syrup, breakfast rice, a trip to the market, Bible study with the South Africans, and shawarma and Phase 10. At the Lebanese church's restaurant. This, however, is the proverbial calm before the storm. Absolutely. Will the next week be easier?

Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. Jan 26, 2011. During Which the Author Finds Himself Creating a More Interesting, Albeit, Nonsensical Moral to Accompany a Rather Anticlimactic Story. Sometimes, after I do something, I wish I could go back and make it a goal for this year. For example, I could have included something like, "Visit a friend in a foreign country," for my 2010 goals. Until now, there has been no. Jan 13, 2011. So, a week ago, the Nigerian government gave its country...

A Tendril of Thought: May 2011
http://tendrilofthought.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts of a young ex-pat teacher. My 50 Best Photographs. May 30, 2011. Of Dirty Martinis in the Face. I have noticed something about the way that I make transitions. Last week, I was in that I-know-that-I'm-leaving-Nigeria-soon-but-it-doesn't-seem-real mode. I even recognized that when I was talking with Deborah and Kyle. However, even though the next month will be crazy busy, I know that it will also be good. And even though there have been many days where I've wanted to just be done and leave th...
