i didn't think i'd make it through today - feeling the way i have been - but it was ok. i just took things slowly and one minute at a time and by the end of it i wasn't about to fall over. don't know if it was the tylenol cold or the strange, nasty-tasting liquid the school nurse gave me, but something worked. i was tired, oh-so-tired, but i made it through. they let me leave as soon as school was over (ie. and hour early) which was nice.
i made a new friend at school today too - mr kim. we went for a walk at lunch time. his english is definitely lacking, but it was nice to have some company on my lunchtime walk. i like to get away from school for a just a little during lunch. leave the screaming and the stomping and the "hello teacher"'s behind... i wasn't feeling great, but i needed to get away from it all... maybe that's how i made it through! either way, it was all right. now i just have to do it again tomorrow... and every week for the next 17 weeks... i can do it... i can do it... i can...
in other news, i've booked my flight to thailand to meet up with ranya in august. i can't wait to see her. it's been almost three years. in case you don't know she's my best friend and was my roommate for about four years. she's like the sister i never had. we were symbiotically connected for a while...that's only dissipated since she moved to greece. i just can't wait to see her and spend some good quality time... these meetings between us don't happen very often and who knows the next time we'll see eachother... but i digress.
i've been going a little nuts on google earth checking out all the beaches and other sites that we can go to. we're going to find one of those little bungalows (like in bridget jones' 2) and camp out there for a couple of days. we also want to go pet the tigers in the north, go on an elephant trek, check out some temples, go hiking... there's just so much to see and do... and so little time...

OMG! I had a monchichi too when we were living in TO, so that would make it back in '81. I've seen them recently in stores around here and been very tempted...
Oh to sit on a beach again drinking cocktails and reading books, I guess that isn't going to happen for me anytime soon. Can I live vicariously through you?
