Day8 of Phuket

So today was a awesome day for me, This morning iwas the was same routine except with a little twist, i got dressed and went to school, went to my first class and then the whole school was called to the field to hear the national anthem/sing and pray, BUT today was also my big speech infront of the school, so it was me oak and 3 others (1)went to usa (2&3) went to germany, so we were all called on stage individuality and were given a lay of thai flowers, very pretty! anyway and then the two boys that went to germay said thier speaches and then isaid mine( i guess it was ok, i went to say hello in thai and the mic was to high so i stoped in mid sawasdeeka haha, but other than that i thought i did ok, i was pretty nervous when i got on the stage saw all 3000 of the student body, not including faculty, yikes! aha one of the guys from germany was so nervous he had to sniff something(nothing bad) to make sure he didnt pass out haha. After that it was on to math, which is always a funny clas because the teacher wears sunglasses and the boys all yell sexy sexy and whistle at her haah its alot of fun, the guys in my class are extremly funny. After math it was chemistry, which i dont have to go to , but id rather be in the class then be alone. After that we went to guidance class which is a class for grade 12 students to help them get in to college and help get scholarships, back home ud make an appointment but here its just a class. then our next class is pal(but me and oak went to see the english teacher to fix up my schedule, which didnt do anything bc im still in the same classes but idont have to go to them?? i can just use the computers. then it was lunch, we met up with the class and had some good eats, it was raining so no soccer today:( tmr i hope!. After lunch we had biology which was kool i met some new friends in this class, after this it was practice for the pallet(parade) and sport day, Tam told me in the last class that i was on his team in basketball, and our team color is green (See keaw) also my class is the staff for sport day so , we had everyone on the green team in the gym explaining tmrs events, after this i was jus hanging out with some of the guys in my class(they were telling me about our bball match) a bunch of younger students (grade 7) came and asked if they could interview me of course i said yes! so they asked me my name, how to spell it, where i was from, what kind of food was my favorite( i said thai!!) and asked me what dish. i felt werid at first but now im like a celeberty at my school everyone knows my name , looks and smiles at me and says eliszaa haha alot come up and say im beautiful( in thai is-szoai) haha its so cute :P which the thai word for cute is (norak) and handsome is (law) . After that i had to leave my class and go with Am because me and her are marching in the school parade, so we had to practice with everyone else we are a very important part of the parade we hold the banner for our school & sport day with a bunch of ballons and stuff. We are behind the band which is first and we walk around the stadium like 10x ahh that will be long! anyway when we were practicing we walked around the grounds and everyone was sitting outside watching us march, they were all waving at me, i felt so proud of canada! ahaha but when i passed my class they were all waiting for me in the windows and as soon as they saw me they were screaming and yelling my name it was awesome, i love my class so much, they made me feel so good. everyone else was yelling my name too haha it was funny. after that i went back to my awesome class and i walked in and they were all dancing and practicing for thier skit!! they cheered when i walked in and then told me i did a great job and to sit down and watch them, oak was halarious and same with everyone else. it was really funny to watch . i left the room for a sec beause Am called me but my friend came up to me and asked if i wanted to do it with them after the parade i said yes, so she told everyone i wanted to do it with them and they all cheered and told me to do it with them and pratice. haha i did it was a lot of fun, but my drive was there so i had to go, school was finished anyway, so i said bye to everyone and oak beat me out of school because it was like 4;1o and he had to be at work at 4;30 haha. so i came home and now im writing this, ill have a post later if i do something crazy ahaha. so school hours are 730-4;45 but because of sport day we get out early:):) also fridays were out at 3:P
so that was my awesome day at school:)

Hi Elyse:

Aunt Diane and I are sure enjoying your blog and all your adventures. Your descriptions are so good, we almost feel like we are right there with you.

School sounds like such a blast. Is there a lot of English spoken there or is your Thai geting that good already?

Will drop an e-mail l8r.

Have fun!
