What have I been doing the past week or so? Hmmm, where do I begin? For starters, I’m getting more work at work. I’ve created a short term marketing plan for the next few months. I’ve been helping the graphics guy with designing the billboards and postcards we hand out. By helping I mean telling him what I want and making sure he doesn’t make it into some crazy Thai cartoon with blood. Yesterday I had to write a dozen radio commercials and newspaper ads. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the Australian Education Center, so I can convince them to speak at this seminar my school will be holding in a downtown hotel. I was instructed to get the Australian ambassader to Thailand but he was a little busy. The director wants me to get 200 guests to the event, which is just swell because I have to make a presentation that day. A speach, at a podium, in front of hundreds of people? Thank you public speaking 101.

Last weekend I went out in Bangkok with some friends. There was a house warming party for a fellow AIESECer. It was our own little UN at this apartment. Countries represented were the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, Belgium, Phillipines, Kenya, Thailand, and the United States. The next day I was supposed to go to the Grand Palace but I didn’t wake up in time. I went to two other temples though, I couldn’t tell you the names if I tried. I’m running out of money for the month so I went back to my house instead of clubbing. Don’t cry for me. I just laid by the pool all day. Actually, I was in the pool since it was soooo hot I couldn’t be out of the pool for more than 10 minutes. It’s so freaking hot! I think it’s in the low 90s right now, and everyone is still preparing me for the April heat. I’ve been told 45 Celcius. 45 C = 113 F. Everyone says I’m going to adjust. Except everytime I step outside I break into a dripping sweat. Work is starting, bye!
