Thailand has the most amazing lightning storms. The other night, we sat on the beach for 2 hours staring at the most amazing lightning we have ever seen, with no rain. It is puzzling, yet awesome!
Last night was our graduation dinner/party. We all went to our boss Bruce's house which had a huge swimming pool and dance area. We had amazing food, and danced the night away. We also had karaoke. Highlights include Matt singing "I'm not a girl not yet a woman", and Kamal, our grammar teacher singing us a Nepalese love song complete with dancing. It was so much fun!
This morning a few of us left for their placements. Everyone is placed, except for 3 of us...of which I am included. It kind of sucks, but then I also get a 2 week vacation, when they don't. It was sad to say goodbye because about 6 of us left. There is a prospect for me to teach online in rayong. There are plusses and minuses to this. The plusses: I would be living with my 3 best friends here. We would work in a air conditioned office, I would always have access to the internet, I wouldn't be placed alone, and I could wear whatever I want. The minuses: I would not be getting the cultural experience I want teaching students face to face, and the office is located about 20 minutes from here (granted on the coast). We have a meeting on Wednesday to hear our final placements, so I will either be there or somewhere else.
In the meantime, I am going to Koh Chang (the 2nd largest island in Thailand) from Sunday through Thursday with the rest of the group. I am excited!
I will update as soon as I get my placement! LOVE YOU
OH I also put up new
