Happy Birthday, North Dakota! And Happy NOVAember!
1 November marked the first day of the new semester, so glorious "vacation" is over. Back in lovely BKK again. Thetis is still a work in progress, but there has been progress, which is nice. I hope to have a draft out real soon. But then again, I've been saying that for a while...
The new classes seem to be good. Same schedule as last semeter - working three days a week, Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. However, it's really much better, as I'm at the Hua Mark campus, which means a.) there are better lunch options and b.) no hour and a half on the bus each day. And my first class of the day is only two floors below where I sleep. So that will certainly make things easy...
Had to cope with a few students from last semester emailing me and saying "teacher, why you flunk me?" One of them was from a guy who didn't use punctuation on his final. But not that big of a deal.
The remaining time in Phi Phi was excellent, although the ride back was miserable. They put me, the tallest guy on the bus, in the seat with the least leg room on the bus. Purely an accident, but they wouldn't even let me change. Oh well. It's good to be back home either way.
Hail progress!

hey,
I was just wondering, how does the school year over in Thailand work? Do you have a long break after each semester? Cause by the way it sounds its a lot different than in the United States.
By the way nice blog, I enjoy reading.
Yeah, we have about two weeks after the "rainy season" semester (June to mid-October) and there are two and a half months off after the "dry season" semester (November to Mid-march.)
4-1 badgers over fighting souix. i guess that's what you get for a racist team name.
Right you are, Limburgh. It's just like WWII - the Nazis may have had some impressive early victories, but couldn't sustain it in the end. Such is the case for College Hockey teams with National Socialist leanings...
