Oh... My God!

Short blog today. Nothing really is going on, we've been spending alot of time at the pool lately. we still have three weeks of no school so there isnt much else to do. Out of the seven of us, four of us are leaving this weekend, which doesnt include me so that should be a laugh riot.

The trip to chantaburi that ive been so excited about might be cancelled becuase the district has gone crazy and decided that since two kids died in an electrical storm (not from rotary) chantaburi isnt safe. There are some obvious flaws in this argument, most of which im sure everyone can figure out, especially once you learn that the electrical storm wasnt in chantaburi. Instead we might be going to pattaya for an outbound orientation/selection meeting.

There are usually three district-approved trips that we pay for and go on, but this year the five day mountain trip was cancelled and instead the chaing mai trip has been extended 5 days. Papa Koh who is one of the cooler host dads in rotary is going to take just the kids from our club though and so im really exited about that even though its not till december.

The coolest kids ever, aka Anna Tatchi and I decided that since i bought all of the harry potter movies that we would have a harry potter movie night and eat the food we had been sent from home. pretty freaking epic if you ask me.

Khun Mem, rotary club president and Future host Aunt (She will be my second host family) is making us go to school EVEN THOUGH every other person in our school is on break. so im 'learning' how to write thai even though im way behind the rest of the seven person 'class' because honestly i just couldnt be bothered before. i think its silly that we dont know what words mean, but were learning how to read them? if we dont know what the word means what use is it to be able to sound it out? but ive gotten over that and am now actually trying to learn because i may as well if its being taught.

we also have thai dance lessons which i'm actually not too bad at surprisingly. i am kind of excited to go back to school though only because i really want to learn more thai. its hard to learn when everyone around you speaks english.

Today is also my official two months in thailand so its time for another month party! were having it today before anyone leaves and getting an "Eat Me" Bakery (yes thats the real name) cheese cake. delicious.

Anyways its probably time to get up and get moving so i will write more when something fun happens! Love always,
