What a day

When I asked when I needed to be ready to leave for school my new host said (sabai-sabai) meaning whenever your comfortable. She said just when you get up and are ready to go we will go. So I stayed up late talking to friends and then slept in. I slept so good, I think I even drooled. After getting ready and eating breakfast I went to school. I waited for Remi to finish eating lunch, since I had just ate I didn't need to do it again. My new host said she called my real  hosts and they said I could go to Chiang Mai for La Katong Festival next weekend. Or I could stay here and see it from Chiang Rai. Either way I get to travel some more! I then joined Remi in French class and then math class. Then class was over and we walked a down a few blocks and had very very spicy noodles. They were so good. The group included Remi, about 8 Thai girls and myself. It was a lot of fun. The only thing that had me down today was Remi. His Thai is so good and after arriving at school he sat me down and gave me advice. First he told me my English was horrible...I was like huh? Then he went on to tell me a ton a somewhat annoying and frustrating information. It got to the point of me almost in tears. As if that wasn't enough he took me aside again and told me I wasn't doing exactly everything he told me too etc. It got to the point where I didn't want him around me because he was always judging everything I said or did. He pulled me aside a total of about 10 times in my three hours at school. I did however call my host to pick me up and only spoke Thai. I also had her only speak Thai to me at home and I am surprised what I'm able to understand. I also can understand a lot of what the kids at school are saying. It's exciting and I know Remi is only trying to help but his constant judging got me down. I told him this and were going to once again have a talk tomorrow...Whoop De Do. Now I'm waiting for Allyson Klitzke to hopefully remember our planned Skype date so I can talk to my bestie. Everything is going great, I just have to figure out how to deal with Remi.
