So exams are all done... Yep. Finished. Some went better than others, as is usually the case. Heh. I survived. The Current Issues of Marketing exam was the easiest thing in the world. I can safetly say that you did not have to go to more than 3 classes to write a wicked exam. Do not ask how I know this. Heh.
Ruben and I are just finishing up figuring out our place here! Looks like we have a really nice 60 square metre place for next semester. Staying at same hotel, just in a one bedroom, so no more roommates except for Mr. Dutchman Ruben. I have to say this is totally wicked, though I will miss that stinky little girl named Michelle who lives next to me currently. Saying goodbye to having 3 roommates in a 2 bedroom apartment will be very easy, truth be told.
What else... Ruben and I are leaving for Vietnam on Monday. We are not sure where in VIetnam we are going, haven't booked our flights, haven't read the Lonley Planet, but we know that it will be the most amazing time ever. I go back to Canada Dec 23, but we have a lot of time until then to wander abouts Vietnam. Some other people from exchagne are coming too, so we get to hook up with all them on the way, possibly.
I am finishing/starting my Christma shopping... hehe. I went yesterday and ended up getting 1 thumb drive, 2 dresses, 2 shirts, 1 headband and 1 purse. All for myself. Yah, that went well. Went a little better today, as I managed to get le padre the best gift ever. Hehe. He will laugh and laugh until he cries. Get to go to weekend market tomorrow to finish the great planning up.
My schedule next semester is a nightmare, though I get Mondays off. Shudder.
I have to pack. Michelle just reminded me. Yes, I have to pack for next semester because we do not get our place until mid-January. We are stashing our stuff at our hotel and hoping it is still there when we get home in January. Wicked.
Okay, that is all. I am getting into Christmas here. For sure. Not. Heh. I do when I go to Starbucks, which is really exciting. Christmas music and gingerbread lattes. Ohlala. So exciting. I can't believe how much snow is in Canada right now. It is like +35 degrees here. It is so crazy.
I am celebrating my birthday tomorrow, because we are going to Vietnam on my actual, Decemeber 14. We are going to the best Mexican restaurant in Bangkok with a random young British Manager (so strange.) Yum yum yum. They are setting up the top of the restaurant for me. Hehe. Yummers. Yes, I will be 24. Seems like just yesterday I was the young age of 22....
I keep dreaming of horses. I think Ruben will buy me one for my birthday. We will keep him on the balcony.
I ran out of deodorant and am using random stuff that is imported from Europe or some such crap and it seriously doesn't work. Ewww. Yuckus.
Heh. My shoes from last year were my uniform shoes this year. They were falling apartment and I wasl ike "ugh, these are getting ugly, I need to throw them out." And Ruben is like "Omigod, GOOD, they are so ugly." And I got defensive for a bit, and then I was walking home and we talked about it, and he said, "throw them in the canel" and I said, "no way" and then he picked them up and threw them in teh canel. The Thai's freaked out and ran to the ledge to look and some other tourists were freaking out. It was quite hilarious. Yes, polluting Bangkok, one shoe at a time.
Watched the new James Bond, it was good. No basis for comparison as I have never seen a James Bond movie before. It was fabbity fab.
Went to see The Prestige. Since Michelle is performing magic tomorrow at my party, this movie was a good way to introduce me to magic. Michelle is way better than the magicians in the movie. Obviously. There is no doubt, as Michelle has tricks from a really nice store and she is so tricky.
Been eating really yummy food, and discovered my intense love for Japanese food. Also, intense love for American/Canadian/Western/Conteniental breakfasts. Indeed. Bacon and egg and toast and yummy. Indeed.
My tattoo is itchy today. I am going to get another one. A hand print on my bottom. For flair and laughter.
I have been working quite hard on developing a little tummy from all the drinking and whatnot that I have been partaking in. Also from the intense dehydration that plagues you, forcing you to crave all sorts of less nurtious substitues like water. We have a general belief that everyone has put on weight on teh exchange. It makes me laugh. And makes me want to make sure I go to the gym next semester. Will be quite a bit easier, as we have more structure and with Ruben's work, we will be going away less. Except for our weekend trips to India to ski. Expect for those.
I want to go to Cambodia to see the Killing Fields. I am reading a book about it. Quite intriging.
I am exhausted from all this typing. My hard day yesterday of shopping and then a nice lunch and then a 2.5 hour Thai massage, then a nice night of drinking and cas and then today sleeping in, going shopping, napping, having nice meals and watching movies has really exhausted me. Heeh. My Thai massage has left me so pained today, but I love it. It was the best massage of my life. I felt so good, and then made the poor decision of having margaritas and wine coolers at my favorite Mexican restaurant. Hehe. Opps. Whatever.
Hehe.
Annnnnnnnyways. THat is all, might post less and less, as I head off to Vietnam, then back to Thailand, then over to Canada for a week, then down to LA and to Mexico for a week, and then over to Taiwan to visit Scottie for a week, and then back to Thailand to get cracking at school.... Hehehe. Ohala. Going to be an action packed next month and a half. I can't wait. And then I get to come home to the nicest new apartment with the nicest guy and have a very nice next semester. Tres exciting...
Annnd that is all. Over and out.
