So I must have dropped some candy on my desk or something, I can't find it, but there are ants on my desk. I keep my laptop there and spend the first few minutes after turning it on chasing the ants around the keyboard and killing them!
Any who...
School is still good, although I am increasingly uncomfortable with the amount of dancing they want us to do. On Friday we preformed a Lam Thai dance in front of the school (We being the exchange students, some regular students and the teachers). It was part of a school show. We had to get make up put on and get our hair done. Neither of which I enjoy doing (as I'm sure those who know me can attest to). But I did it, and I thought that was it. But apparently we have to dance at the school charity show this weekend (why does it always have to be dancing!).
Also today in the school they did a uniform check. The boys who had something wrong (I'm not sure what because I didn't understand what was being said) were hit on the back of their legs with a stick. They checked hair lengths and if it was not short enough for the boys or all one length for the girls they took scissors to them...I found this strange. My exchange student friend's Thai friends explained to her that because she was an exchange student, she wouldn't be punished. My friends didn't say this (perhaps they didn't know), so I spent the rest of the assembly in fear that there was something wrong. (My nails were too long but my friends brought nail clippers with them so I violently trimmed my nails to avoid being beaten... unnecessarily)
On a lighter note, my younger brother is in training to become a monk so we visited the temple he is at on the weekend, Wat Phai Lom, I think.
Looking forward to another week, gonna be busy, lots of stuff to have done for Friday, and usually really tired when I come home from school.
