School has been amazing so far! It can get really hot, especially in the morning because for half an hour we have to sit outside for an opening flag ceremony and it's SO HOT. Sweating is pretty much my new sport. And speaking of sports, I finally saw my first horse in Thailand!!! There's a little night market close to my house and they have a white miniature horse that is just sooo super narak!!! (Thai for cute).
  I'm really good friends with the exchange students in my city too, because all but one of us now go to the same school! There's a boy and girl from Mexico, a boy from Germany, a girl from Taiwan (who goes to a different school than the rest of us), and a girl from Seattle. But I'm friends with a lot of Thai kids at my school too. And it's really funny when I'm at the mall and I see white people. I sort of freak out and spaz. They're mainly old white men that retired here after their service. But it's still crazy to see them!
  Japanese is coming along well! And pretty soon the PDG for D3340 is going to set up an afterschool tutoring class for us to help us learn the language, which will be uber helpful! and he said that if after 3 months we don't need language anymore, we can do cooking, or dance, or whatever we want! So this is turning out pretty well so far~
