I don’t even know if I believe it, but winter break has finally reached! And subsequently, I have finished 1 and a half years of teaching! Here’s hoping I can last forever, but if not, I’ll pursue a higher path at some point down the road.
I had my student elves deliver Christmas cards to whom I believe to be the best co-workers possible, who work their hearts off for their students.

After school ended, I departed quickly back to Garden Grove, where my friend from San Jose was visiting! We went to Seven Leaves for a bit before having dinner with a group of friends at a Vietnamese restaurant (pictured below). You know it’s a Vietnamese restaurant when there’s Sriracha pictured.

Afterwards, we went to a Soju bar for a couple of drinks and catch up time. We sang our hearts out in karaoke to the jams of some classics included – Taylor Swift, Keane, Eninem, & others.

Later, friends came back to my place to simply talk and catch up. It’s bittersweet being in the same room again knowing we can’t do this every single week. I believe I have the best friends possible, and I’ll maintain these relationships for as long as I’m here, no matter how far the distance.
I don’t even know if I believe
I don’t even know if I believe
I don’t even know if I believe
Everything you’re trying to say to meSo open up my eyes
Tell me I’m alive
This is never gonna go our way
If I’m gonna have to guess what’s on your mind
