Crawling towards a better mindset
Well, i just finished my extra teaching (all day Saturday) and i'm feeling quite elated that my hell week is over. plus, i just made ฿1250 in one day! woo-hoo. i've been making extra money left and right but i don't even feel that happy about it cause all i want is time to free time to spend with my friends and travel. i'm feeling particularly sad today because it's my cousin's wedding. i really wanted to be there but had already signed my contract. i feel pretty guilty about it and couldn't stop crying as i wrote her a "wedding email." how lame is that? i'm planning to send a gift home with my parents in october but it's just not the same. it seems like nothing ever happens when i'm at home but when i decide to leave, there are so many special occassions. boo.
on a lighter note, there is a party planned for all the "farangs" tonight. this cool bar we hang out at (More Tao) is having it's 1-year anniversary. it's the place with the biker band and when they heard that we wouldn't be able to make the actual anniversay party (it's on a school night), they switched it to a weekend. good thing karen's such good friends with the band :)
so that's tonight and i'm looking forward to a sunday full of absolutely nothing...making a big breakfast, watching DVDs and getting lots of sleep. i can't believe this semester is almost over! have i really been in Thailand for 4 months? i feel like i've learned so much but that so many things still preplex me. whoa, traveling is getting to be the norm. i love it!
in the last week, i've been going through this incredibly fertile time...painting and writing and having lots of crazy dreams. hilary and i still try to have art nights though only 1 or 2 people show up. i made salsa this week! it was damn spicy but good. i had to buy tortilla chips in chiang mai. oh and the yoga sessions are going strong. we've been doing it twice a week and everyone seems to really enjoy it. if anything, it's making me saner and able to cope with the craziness. well, got to go eat and get ready for the soiree. thanks to everyone who reads this! it means a lot to me.
