i've got lots of tutoring after school this semester. this is excellent news for me because one of my laments about my life in suphan last quarter was that i wasn't busy enough. you guys know me--i like to be busy with tons of stuff all the time. i like when i think that one free hour in the day is a lot.
i get the feeling the students have been bitten by that ambitious bug that always comes around at the beginning of the year. "this year i'm finally gonna learn english! i better get a tutor!" lol. we'll see how long they stay interested for.
btw, i'm teaching the most beautiful lady boy this quarter. he's adorable. he lingered after class today to ask how my summer was. awwwww.
oh, and a bangkok/thailand protest update: the red shirts threw up the white flag last night. the government imposed a curfew from 8 pm last night to 6 am this morning, which essentially means anyone on the street can be arrested/turns the streets into a war zone. red shirts (i think it's mostly all red shirts) are setting a lot of stuff on fire around the city, including central world, which is one of bangkok's hugest malls. the mall's partially collapsed now. i have no idea when the city'll be back to normal and all of this stuff will be over...i would've thought that the surrender last night would've indicated some sort of pathway to peace, but apparently not. there've been some protests and arsonists in the north and in the east, but suphan's still thankfully violence-free.
