A lot has happened in the last month. The world cup kept me pinned to a friend's house for 4 nights straight at the beginning of the month. Lots and lots of stuff to do for school. Midterm exam two days ago. Actually, not a lot happened in June, it just seemed busy.

Yesterday I crossed a footbridge and jumped in an uperclassmen's car, on the otherside of the main road near my house. We picked up two of my friends and another uperclassmen and headed to Hua Hin and Pechburi, the beach. We all voulenteered to survey possible locations for freshman orientation, which meant a long day of sleeping in a car, listening to music, eating seafood next to the beach, and taking photos of a bunch of beach resorts. This is one thing I really love about life these days: everyday is different.

The day before yesterday, Friday, was a monk's blessing and fashion photoshoot. Again, an early morning start. Elevated train, subway, bus, then motorcycle taxi to P'Dang's new business. He has opened his own modeling agency, so I applied. The morning was spent with 3 monks in the main room of the 3rd story condo. They blessed the business and us, ate food, and returned to the temple. We were blessed, ate food, and returned to working on the day's models. One of which turned out to be me. I'm a photographer, not a male model, but the other 6 staff members had left already.

The PT kids made it over. Interesting group. Seems like nobody knows much more than the names of the other kids. Rob skipped the key "team-building" months that brought our previous groups together. Which might work out ok. The group this year may not have set any expectations for people, before going in this year, which could be a good thing. I'm going to go check things out Thursday, I think. Thursday morning bus, arrive late afternoon, 2 days/3 nights in the village, then back to BKK Sunday morning.
