Everyone should be celebrating my 30th post on here. If you have been following...great work, if not then 30 may seem like too many posts but trust me they are out there somewhere.
Well here are some updates on the past week:
Monday was our last day of art class. We had a celebration by giving jasmine necklaces to the professors and they each tied string around our wrists and gave us a blessing to learn more and continue studying. Apparently this is a common practice of a leaving ceremony. The monks did this as well but there was a lot more string to be handed out haha. It was so cool to see all the art professors care about us so much and give us such warm blessings.
We went to Ban Patsuwan on Monday which is a group home for kids in the slums and an internship for some people in our group. It was so fun to hang out with the kids, eat ice cream and play games outside.
Tuesday we went to the Prision which is another internship for people and it is mostly teenagers in for stealing, drugs, prostitution and assult. We did a talent show and hung out with the kids. It was a very interesting place.
Today is our last day of class. We had Thai writing already this morning and now we have culture class later. After that we are planning on studying for the test tomorrow by the pool. I don't know how far we will actually get studying :)
I have started packing up my things and separating it all for the big field trip and for spring break. I am really wishing I had enough money to buy a big box and send my stuff home rather than take it home in my suitcase. There is not that much room haha.
Saturday we are going to the hotsprings with our family and then going out to dinner. Then Sunday early we are leaving for Sukkothai, one of the ancient capitals of Siam. It should be a fun trip!
