I’m here!!!!!!
Wow! Thailand is amazing! I am so happy! I’ve been here for two days now, and I feel very comfortable. Thai people are all so kind! They are so patient and relaxed and willing to help. How do I know this? Well last night Sabrina and I got lost on campus and we couldn’t find our way to our apartment. We asked a group of Thai students, and they didn’t know. So we kept on walking. But about two minutes later two students came running after us because they thought they knew the way. They tried very hard using the little bit of english that they knew to help us get to our housing. But when they left us after about 15 minutes, we were still lost so we asked the police in the station we happened to be in front of to help us. They got out a map and called a taxi for us. They made sure the taxi driver knew exactly where to take us. I can see that I have a lot to learn from the patience and kindness of Thai people.
In the city of Rangsit, not many people know english too well, so much of my communication has been through hand gestures. I registered for a Thai Language class. Hopefully I will learn important and useful phrases soon!
Rangsit University is gorgeous! Everybody wears uniforms, including the international students. I love wearing my uniform. It really does make me feel like I fit in more.
Today I registered for classes. All of my classes are on Tuesday and Wednesday. This way, I will be able to travel for 5 days in a row each week. I am going to join the swim team here, and I hope to earn my certification to teach Thai Kickboxing while I am here.
I am so happy and really looking forward to this semester! I am going to do all that I can to make sure this experience is unforgettable and life-changing!
