Subbing a lot

Well,

I have been subbing a lot. I am trying to save up more money here in my free time. I think a goal for Lily and I is to save about 1 million NT on the side. With that we can put together a purchase of some property back home. That would be a little less than forty thousand. We have just started saving extra but we are about one tenth of the way there.

Our new school is waiting for a license but we are trying to start enrolling students there. It looks pretty good and we recently got some good pictures from there. I will see if I can attach one or two.

As for my health, I still get mild pain but more in the form of an ache now. Most nights I am a little swollen around the groin but what can you do. Other than that I am good (aside from being sick). I swear that these kids try and make you share their misery. I just recover from one virus and then I get another. The joys of working with kids.

Lily and I got stalked by a cute dog the other day. We were going to drive into Kaohsiung when I saw something white and brown come at us. I wasn't expecting it so I jumped and sort of shouted. Then I noticed it was only a little dog similar to a terrier. He was very sweet. The only problem came when we wanted to leave. Everytime I tried to get the scooter going he would stand in front. When I tried to drive he ran after me. And if I didn't have a box on the scooter he would have been riding with us. I felt so bad because the dog was so sweet. I gave it some love for a minute and it tried to adopt me. If I was in Canada I would have swept that puppy up in a second. It is unfortunate that my mother and father in-law don't know how to properly take care of animals and treat them well. I haven't seen the dog since that night though. I hope it's ok and in a good home.

I went to the school I was subbing at today and one of the other teachers brought in a big sports bag. You wouldn't guess what was inside. There were five gorgeous kittens. He found them on the street and was looking for homes for them. I tried not to look at them too long. I hope he has luck finding them all good families.

Anyways I can't find the digital camera so I will have to post some pics in the near future.

Love everyone,

Scott
