I hope that people are still reading my blog and haven't given up on me yet. It has been a very very busy summer!! I am currently writing this blog entry from Chiang Mai ( a city about 9 hours north of Bangkok). I will give a quick summary of the summer.
The Univ. students from America arrived in early June and then we immediately began work on 3 univ. campuses in Bangkok. At first I was busy taking all the American students around and spending days on the 2 different univ. campuses. I teach English 2 days a week at Rangsit University to chemistry students. It has been a lot of fun. I have a freshman class on Monday which has around 50 students and sophomores on Tuesday with only about 20 students. Tuesday is a much easier day but I enjoy both of the days. The rest of the week I spend at Sripatum Univ. tutoring students and just working to build relationships.
The first week-end in July we had an English camp in Pattaya. We had over 200 univ. students from the different campuses. It went really well. We had some students make decisions and many who are seeking to know more. I will be busy doing a lot of follow up in the month of August.
I came to Chiang Mai for 2 weeks of meetings the day after camp finished. I have enjoyed seeing a different part of the beautiful country of Thailand. The other day I went with some friends on an elephant trek through the countryside and also went white water rafting. It was a lot of fun! I am ready though to get back to Bangkok! Only a few more days of meetings left and then I return home!
I still don't have internet at my house yet but hope to have it up and running in August. I will try to be better at updating my blog so please keep reading. Pictures to come in the future!!
