Well well well. Here I am. Getting ready for school today, Friday, and I’m not wearing the black and white. No, I’m wearing hiking clothes. BECAUSE….drumroll…we are going to an NGO about an hour outside of the city today. Anddd…!!...there was promise of swamp romping. Oh yes, chest deep swamp water. Full of all those weird Thai bugs. This might all sound sarcastic, but I promise you I am very excited! Very excited! This is one of those Binney type excursions, I was always the first to jump into the waders and climb into the water. I really can’t wait. It feels a little more like home now.

School’s been going well. I’m only slightly homesick. And I’m only keeping track of weeks not days. So there’s that. To be clear there are 22 weeks until I’m back in the US. And I keep having strange nervous dreams about being back in the 269.

Back to school, yesterday Greg Hamilton(?) came to show a documentary he made about a traditional game in Mayanmar(Burma). It was beautiful! Chinlone. A game like soccer, but with only one team, the goal to juggle the ball as long as possible with any body part accept the hands. And the ball is wicker, woven of came, and smaller than a soccer ball.

I’ve got to go to breakfast now. Fried rice! And ride my bike to school.
