Wan Yute=day off. What a beautiful thing a day off is. Granted, it's not TRULY a day off as I have loads of homework, but at least I don't have anywhere to be against my own free will. :) I am just settling in to an afternoon at the coffees shop. It's a full house here with friends coming for lunch, so I'm not sure how soon I'll actually be able to get any real work done. Oh well; I always welcome a friendly conversation. After all, I'll only be in Chiang Rai for 3+ more weeks. I can't even believe it. My time here really is drawing to a close. This has been the best time of getting to know new people as well as reconnect with old friends, serving God all along the way by working with these precious children.
Especially toward these last few weeks I'm really feeling the crunch of homework and keeping up with my commitments here. I've had plenty of semesters where the crunch is on towards the end; this semester is no different. Somehow I always manage to get by, so I will hang on to recollections of past semesters where I finished well to be my comfort.
Different times in my life are more reflective than others. Generally in times of transition I become more reflective. I have been in one of those states lately...mainly in this past week. I can't help but ponder this time in Thailand, my upcoming time in Australia, finishing school, and embarking on whatever adventures God has next for me. Those who read this might get tired of my reflections, but that's just where my head's at right now. Sorry! :)
Also, here's a video a friend and I put together after our week with the kids. Enjoy!
