thai boxing

today i went to thammasat university campus- the one i studied abroad at. and i went to thai boxing practice today and it was a lot of fun. the coach was really happy to see me and then there were other thai boxers that remembered me from 2 years ago. so that was cool. so i hung out at the thai boxing gym for quite a while, working out and talking to the thai people. then i ate at the school cafeteria called the 'canteen'- which is actually a really awesome tasty and cheap place to eat. and i had one of my favorite dishes and my favorite coffee.

then i went shopping at some of the markets nearby and i found a lady making jewelry and through a mix of english and thai and drawings i told her how to make my favorite thai necklace that i lost a while ago. so i am going to go pick it up tomorrow from her. that's fun that i can get a customized necklace for 5 dollars without bartering.

these next few weeks i have to test the kids on what they learned this semester. that will be fun, im not sure what exactly my plan is yet but i will figure it out. the school hasnt told me what they want me to test on exactly so i guess i get to make it up. i have to write assessments for each of the 100 kids i teach. which'll be fun.
