random happenings

so everyday I think, "oooo I should put THAT in my blog today," or something along those lines, and I never do. I just hate being on the computer sometimes, because my computer likes to die on me, and I think the less I am on it, the better, but the less I am on it, the less I can get accomplished. so like if my friends say something on my wall that don't need an immediate response, I wait a couple days when I can more time aside to dilly dally on the computer.

so things I have been really thankful for :
-seeing Lindsay, my friend who is teaching abroad in Peru and is home for the summer
-seeing Melissa, a friend from school who lives in Ohio,
-and then Nick, Megan and Jason H. who are also friends from MSU, but live relatively nearby, compared to Linsday and Melissa, as well as megan's mom and brother.

-spending time with my grandma and grandpa today since today is my grandma's birthday!!! happy birthday grandma!

-wind-I know I have said it before, but I really love windy days, and today was beautiful

-cappuccinos!!! I finally tasted an american one today and it is the closest so far to the european style lattes I would have in Thailand(American lattes taste like hot milk to me blagh!)

Things I am still getting used to:
-getting into the driver's side of the car on the left side of the car( I just had to close my eyes to think of where it is) I love going to the right side of my car which is where the steering wheel is on cars in Thailand.
-how BIG everything is in America,
-saying pop, and up north, and not getting strange looks
-the time difference. the jet lag is almost worn off but mornings are still very hard

Interesting notes:
-a new church I visited today is sending a team to work in Chiang Rai Thailand in october to help with an orphanage!!! it's a small small world! my mom said I shoudl go to help translate!
-I just realized that the reason it get s late so fast for me is because for the past two years, it got dark at about 6pm, so I could always tell how late it was, now it's almost 10pm before it's completely dark!
