We played with the psychotic dogs and drank cider and watch Tom Yum Goong, which is probably the only Thai action movie ( Read more... )

Aaaaaaaaand the first full week of class is complete! I like all my classes (Shakespeare's Comedies and Histories, Shame and Self-Respect, Worlds of Music, and Phonetics and Phonology), though I did have existential angst about dropping Language Patterns because 1) it looked really interesting, 2) the prof seemed awesome, and 3) there were lots of ( Read more... )
