Going to Bali ^.^

I've been planning to go to Bali this month with my coworker and her friend and today we confirmed the tickets. Originally I was going to go home to visit my family at the end of Jan. but my mom thought it would be best that I would stay in Taiwan to save money and because I would be home soon since my contract is up in June. Now, I don't know what's going on for next year since it depends on a lot of things (grad school). But anyway then my mom was going to come visit me but she had teeth surgery and wants to wait it out. So I'm going to Bali, Indonesia for 4 nights, 5 days. It's actually a really short trip and it won't take too long to get there by plane. I think it's about 5-7 hours or so? I'm leaving Dec. 20 and will be back on Christmas Eve. I have to work on Christmas Day but after work, my coworker who is amazing at grilling/barbequing food is going to have a Christmas dinner and make turducken (turkey, duck, and chicken all in one). Sats are super busy and I do work all day but it's okay since I will be home in the evening and rest up. At least I will have a Christmas dinner to look forward to.

I get up to a month of unpaid vacation. I wanted to go to Korea with Drew in Oct. but my boss wouldn't let me since I can't take off vacation within the first six months that I've started. Luckily she let me go on this trip. I'm pretty excited just to relax because I felt like ever since I got here, I've been super busy either hanging out with family, getting adjusted to my job, and applying to grad schools. Things are winding down so now I want to enjoy in and around Taiwan.
