surprises

surprises in the past 24 hours:

1. the gym teacher is excited that i'm switching from badminton to thai boxing lessons! first boxing lesson is on tuesday.

2. we get 2 3-day weekends in a row! this weekend for the queen's birthday, next weekend for the national vote on the new constitution because people are supposed to go to their hometown to vote on sunday, so they need monday to travel back to the big cities where they work. i, however, plan to take a holiday. i just need to make some plans! hopefully will go away for a few days with yan, a teachers visiting from china. or the other americans.

right now its about time for the class i help out with. today we are going to collect insects. i hope the rain holds off for a couple of hours so we can find some good stuff!
