this weekend, i gave up going to ratchinaburi to see a world war 2 memorial museum, to just spend the weekend by myself. i need time to myself. i feel overwhelmed right now, thinking of all i have to do and all i want to do before i leave. this week has been strange. on tuesday night, i had a dream that i found a puppy in thailand, which i bought for $300 to avoid it being killed. and i took the puppy everywhere. and then wednesday, robin finds a puppy and anne, robin, and i take it to our room to give it a bath and take care of it a little. it was flea-ridden and exhausted. so that was weird. on thursday, i had class and then went to the night market. i tried to go by myself but that didn't happen. i had company. and then i was up most of the night watching a poker tournament at nino's. anne left this morning. today i'm going to plan my trip to the loi krathong festival that is happening in bangkok, sukhothai, ayutthaya, and tak province. i want to go to 2 of those places, and i might end up going alone. i don't know. we'll see. i'm also trying to figure out my schedule for next semester and trying to arrange an internship.
