kinda like harry potter, cept, you know.. not magical

So....
i just completed my first three days at scool, and well.. the best way to actually describe it, is that im kind a like harry potter...hence the title, ryan, what do you mean you ask??
well here goes
so my first day of school, I get out of the car, and imeadiaatly get whisked off to a stage in the middle of the campus, that is in front of EVERY SINGLE KID IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL!!!
but hey no biggie, so they first, they tell the people that im an exchange student from american, and automatically, whispers, and catcalls go up through the crowd(apparently being american increases your sex appeal ten-fold among girls...and some of the guys)
after that awkward moment, they wanted me to talk about myself, sure, no problem, right?? its not like they'll really understand me...
so I started just blurting out whatever random part of roseville I could think of out.. and my classmates loved it!! they thought evey thing I said was absolutly hillarious!! i dont know if it was, the way i talked, if thevenever seen an american before, or maybe i just had my fly down, but they ate up every word I said after that I went to my classes.
it seems every where I walk in school, people ar whispering around around my, or calling out lian! lian!!(they cand pronounce r's very well, its basically like being a rockstar!!, at times its cool, and at other times, its tottaly awkward an i wish it would stop, for example, when the girls and lady-boys start hitting on me(in thailand there is actually a third gender for homosexual people wild huh?)
anyways, in my classes, i basically just sit there and smile cause all of my classes are in thai,and well... I cant understand a word! my teachers all understand this, so they just leave me be, except for my english teachers, they let me talk to the class instead of lessons,i just teach the class slang, like: Sweet, hecka cool, and dude, along with various forms of californian handshakes haha!
also in thailand boys join the army at sixteen, so all around my school there are boys younger than me fully decked out im army gear, and doing trining exercises, which is something I havent gotten used to yet.
probably the best part of the day though is lunch, its like an hour and a half!!, the food is terrible, but they have vollyball courts,tug of war tounaments(wierd!!), and basically I get recess, just like in grade school!!
the kids are nice, basically school is a ggod thing thats all ive got for now, but first, I just had a funny dream the other night, and I have to share it wioth some peoplewho actually speak english here goes,
so im hangin out with paul and geoff, and were at the movie theaters, and at the movie theater, there is a huge aquarium, so we start talking, and come up with the Idea the it would be hillarious, if we snuck a chipmunk into the thater and put it into the aquarium and watched it swim around, logical enogh right?
so somehow, we get our hands on a squirril, an hide it in my jacket, one problem though how do we get into the theater,,when we havent bought a ticket, the answer, tell the doorman we have to see a friend, and well give him our wallets as some kind of collateral... oh yeah, did i mention that the doorman was Shaq!, so we get by him, put the squirril in the tank, laugh a bit, go to get our wallets back and shaq says "m not givin them back, i want your money"
"but thats not fair!"
"who cares, dont you know who I am?? Im shaquille o neal!"

thanks for indulging me that last part hasd nothing to do with thailand..
until next time
