I know no one is reading this yet, assuming people actually will read this when I am in Thailand. Regardless, I am so bored here in Waukesha that TV isn’t even interesting anymore. My flight leaves Monday at 12:40 and I’ll be in Bangkok by midnight. I have my visa and am pretty much packed. That’s my current status. One more thing. I have been asked by one of my sociology professors at UW to contribute to this website on street vendors. Here is the website: http://devel.openair.org/ Once I get acclimated to Thailand I hope to learn about the street vendors and take some photos for the website. Think good thoughts about my flight, next time we “talk” I will be thousands of miles away.

Well it’s a good thing I took all that spanish. It’s going to serve me well in Thailand. That’s right, I am off to the land of Thai. I leave in one week for a six month internship. I will be working for Prep International Academy, a swanky little private school. My official job title is Marketing Assistant. I suppose you could supplement the Assistant part with Bitch and my job description would not change one bit. I am terrified about leaving, yet extremely excited. I set up an account on www.shutterfly.com to everyone can see my pictures.
