The Return of the Hipstamatic

It's been about six months since I photographed with my hipstamatic. I guess that has a lot to do with getting my iPhone unlocked. I'm really glad to have the ability to take photos with it again. It's such a fun app to play with. I almost forgot how much I missed photographing with it.
I like taking these kind of pictures because I think it will help me keep up with my photo diary.
So many thoughts run across my head everyday that if I can just capture it all in a few images than I'll be able to have a better reflection on projects, things, love, family, everything.
Cambodia has been going great. It's incredible that we have been in Cambodia for six months already. Yesterday marked our four month anniversary for being an official volunteer.
It's crazy to think that I've already been here for half a year and yet it still feels like I left home yesterday. I feel like I've learned so much but there's so much more I want to do and see. Some projects are finally starting to pick up momentum.

*The art club will be painting the world map at the high school. I'm excited to see how this goes. I'll be pairing up the project along with a lesson plan on mural art projects from across the world.

* I've been spending more time in the library for those kids who want to hang out and practice their English in a non intimidating environment. I made a flyer and posted it around school about joining the spelling bee contest. I'm also trying to lure the students into the library with fun activities such as, games, puzzles and books. This past week was the first week and so far students have been going. I get excited to meet other students I haven't met before. This school has an enrollment for over a thousand students. Each class has a range of 25 to 35 students. I have yet to remember their names.

*I'm starting to get the hang (a little bit) on teaching english as a second language. I finally realize the importance of lesson planning. I also realize what my sisters and cousins go through and appreciate how much dedication and love they put into their teaching. Its still a learning process as I go. But I've had about the same group of students that have been coming for 6 weeks straight. I try to mix up the lessons with games and other learning activities. Haha it's like some days I've got it and some days I don't.

Ok, it's getting late and i'm starting ramble.
Ill do some more rambling later.
