The rain here is insane! its pours whenever it rains! i love the rain so much back home but here its very different! the smell is not as pleasent as back home thats for sure. Its the rainy season right now so it rains at least an hour a day. which i dont mind cause its usually when im at school so i kinda stare out the window and day dream! I think Zeus may have changed his mind about Thailand, the heat was fun for him the first 2 weeks but i think he getting heatstroke :P.
I spent the passed weekend at my host moms university. The faculty and students held a camp for students interested in the programs at the uni. Myself and a few of the other inbounds from the states, japan and taiwan were invited so we could meet more people. The first day was a little scary. the whole camp was in Thai so most of the time none of us understood. The second day we were more comfortable making friends with more of the uni students who spoke a little english so that was nice. Ive started picking up more and more of the language day by day, i can know hold a conversation about food...go figure haha! By the end of the camp we ( the inbounds) had built a pretty strong bond which was nice. Wev'e even made connections with some of the uinversity students which helps because if we need a guide we have one :) One of the inbounds from the states and i have made a pretty good friendship which is nice to have someone close around. We plan on going out and exploring some time soon!
There has been some interesting events in Bangkok latley. There has been protests and riots against the government, mostly in the city center and because i do not live very close to the center, it has not really been a problem for me yet, we will see what happens tho.
So far things have been hard with the homesickness but are slowly getting better. A phone call from a certain someone was the winning ticket for sure. Since monday i have already started to feel better and have cheered up quiet a bit. Having more things to look forward to really helps as well. Things are starting to look up thats for sure!!
