Yesterday, Monday, was the start of my second week of classes. Upon going through the syllabus for my Creative Writing class, I realized that the class just wasn’t going to be as much fun as I had hoped. As I mentioned before, my teacher has a really dull and annoying voice, and I don’t like the vibe of the class and the students in the class, but I was excited to learn more about writing creatively! I always like to write stories, I come up with great places and ideas, but I can never seem to finish them. I was really looking forward to learning more in this class, but for every day we are assigned a reading and are required to write a response about it. And with that, we also are required to write ... read more

This week went by so much faster than last week! I actually had things to do and a schedule to carry me through the week instead of just playing around and doing whatever, as I did last week. Before school started though, I was so unbelievably nervous that I hardly got any sleep at all! At the time I thought I was just nervous about finding my classes and getting to campus, but I think it was a lot more than that. I think I was realizing, maybe subconsciously, that I was actually beginning this journey. The reason I’m here is to go to school, not to play around and have a wild time (even though that is very much a part of it – just not the main reason); and I’m going to be going ... read more

New Years in Bangkok! Started off the day having mimosa’s on the roof of our building. I think there are about 20 of us KEI-ers and we all went up stairs to have our morning drink, even though they weren’t actually mimosa’s because we couldn’t find champagne, they were just white wine and whatever juice we had! Lol, but good! Everyone ended up getting really sleepy and taking naps in different places. I fell asleep on a picnic table, originally in the shade, but woke up in full sun! My chest and arms are really red! My face is a little red too but doesn’t look as bad I don’t think. I put a bunch of aloe on immediately so we’ll see what happens, hopefully it will turn to tan soon. Oh yeah, we ordered pizza ... read more

I just lost everything I wrote because the wifi here is so stupid it kicks me off all the time and I have to re-log-in like every 15 minutes. So I’m typing this in word and then I’ll copy and paste. So anyway, what I had written was that last night we arrived at Bangkok at 11:45pm, me and Elijah and Garret who had all flown together since Dallas. By the time we went through immigration/customs, baggage claim and walked all the way down the airport to where we would be picked up, it was at least an hour later. We stood in a group with KEI and other students with different programs and once everyone was there our driver took us out to the van that would take us to our final destinations. Walking outside ... read more

It’s about 5:30pm and we have just a little over 11 hours left… So far I’ve watched two movies and knitted a bunch. I had a glass of wine, I just got up and stretched and have lent two pepogest to a friend in need! My seat is a mess - my blanket is strewn everywhere and I hardly put anything back in my backpack so there’s just a bunch of shit shoved under my seat. I think I can do this for 11 more hours. It’s definitely about time to take a nap, they dimmed the cabin lights just a few minutes ago. We are currently flying somewhere over Canada and the North Pole it seems like lol. We are going North and then West so as to not cross the entire pacific ocean I ... read more
