Saturday!!
Hooray!! Today is finally Saturday! This has been a long week for students and staff alike. Maybe it has something to do with being the first full week back from school. At any rate, everyone seemed happy for the week to be over.
Other than school, our excitement for the week was somewhat limited. We did go to the Immigration office (have to go every 90 days to keep our visas). And last night I went with Krista, Holly, and Angela to see Just Like Heaven at the movie theater. It had just arrived and was really quite cute!
Today is Children's Day in Thailand. Apparently this is a rather big deal, but mostly in a PR, 'let's have an excuse to celebrate' kind of way. We've been told that what is normally a 20 minute trip could easily take hours. There is a definite sense of annoyance when the holiday is mentioned. So we're avoiding downtown; just working on schoolwork and watching some movies.
In other news, it's only a week and a half until my parents come out here!! I am so excited that they'll be coming!!
