pink post-its and harry potter, what more could you ask for?

alright.... so this week has been a litlle boring, so i guess the exitingness of my latest entry might suffer a little sorry dudes...
anyways last time i left you i was venting about my director of the school, and how i was evicted, and made to go to school, right?
yeah
so on monday i go to my school, and i start to look around for my class, and for some reason i cant find them, eventually a teacher comes up to me..
"your ryan right"*
"chai"
"your in 6-1 right?"*
"chai"
"oh, your class is in seminars for college, you shouldent be here this week, go home"*
"are you kidding me!!!!!"

* denotes my own translation of what she said

so pretty much after all of that trouble of changing houses and talking to my host parents and the docs, it turns out that I DONT EVEN HAVE SCHOOL THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!

and since i chnaged houses, i cant go to the hospital either,
so i think to myself well i guess ill just go into khon kaen, and hang out with my friends there, that ill keep me from being boerd...
so teusday i go to kk, and i hang out with friends, eat lunch, watch movies and play guitar hero(im actually gettin better, i can play on hard now)
so right before im about to leave i decide to i have about 180 baht in my wallet, and i go decide to pick up a video game(counterstrike, if you were wondering..) that i can play with my host bro later... leaving me with around 80 baht in my posseion, so i head downstairs to the atm to make sure i have enough to last the week, i open my wallet... only to find.... my atm card is definetly not there, yep, i lost my card, at the point where ive only got around 6 bucks american in my pocket, that night i scrounge my hose, and turn up nothing, so i call my mommy, and ask her to cancel the card, so they can send me a new one, and just like the amaziong parents they are,they oblige,
only problem is that for the next 1.5-2 weeks ive got no money, so much for going to khon kaen to escape boredem(oh did i mention that i also just ran out of money on my thai cell phone, and since ive got no money to buy more minuets(i HATE spelling that word) i cant call my friends...

so... the past four days have been spent at home, im runniong out of movies, my fingers hurt from guitar,my hands are killing me due to computer games(my bro is just as addicted as me), ive read harry potter 7 again(harry potter, pretty much completes me, on the scale of importance hes right up there with air) and there are little pink stickies notes all over the kitchen and living room labeling various frunituyre and other nouns, so i can learn thier names in thai...
sooo yep, pretty much thats whats happened this week ive never felt so lazy before, i mean i didnt put on a shirt until 6pm every night(when my mom gets home from work)
sooo.... tommoro i go back to school, i cant belive im about to say this.. im actually looking forward to going to school, and i kinda hope that im able to go for the whole week...wow...

yep...
thats all ive got for you right now, sorry it wasnt longer
see you in a week

oh wait.. i forgot a thai lesson, here it is
จิงเเล้ว
its pronounced "jing lao?"
basically it means "are you serious? no way!"*
*again, my own translation

use it when you want a thai person to think that you understand what thier talking about...

ok thats it
see you in a week

Jing Lao...I'm sure you use that line quite a bit!

I like the title of the Blog. I'm glad to hear there are post it notes everywhere, no better way to learn that that.

With you having some down time last week, I'm sure you were able to catch up on reading, learning and playing guitar. Every once in a while we need that time to do that, not quite the way you wanted to do it though, I'm sure.

Have a good week at school.

Talk to you soon, Love Mom
