utube was blocked in thailand. i was trying to look at danielle's election video and it wouldn't work. then i found out form diego that thailands government blocked.
yet another readon why a military junta ruling a country isn't a good idea.
on a different subject. songkran weekend. no school friday, monday, and tuesday. i'm heading back down to krabi. alone. umm. i think its time for me to go back to the states. i seem to have exhausted all my friends here in thailand because all they want to do is stay in bangkok.
on the subject of going back home. i'm still trying to fight the fight to take my exam early but it doesn't look like its gonna happen. its shit. yet another reason why i dont like the business program. or business people. they aren't nice to me the way they are to thai students. and they dont kiss my ass like they do the westerns. its bullshit because i pay a shit ton more tuition to come to thammasat. blah blah blah. bba sucks. especially when a final is set on 19 may while i would be done with school 4 may. a whole damn two weeks.
BUT on a brighter note. i like having connections with bus companies. yesterday i called my bus company to reserve a ticket for krabi and this was the conversation:
- me: hi, i'd like to reserve a ticket for krabi for tomorrow night
- him: sure, but the price is 550 not 350
- me: REALLY? why?
- him: well, it's songkran weekend so the price is higher.
- me: now i dont know. i come and get my tickets here all the time but thats almost twice the regular price.
- him: i'm sorry. all the companies are doing this . . but wait. what is your name??
- me: oh, well this is monica.
- him: (in thai) MONICA! why didn't you say something? of course. you get special price. we'll charge you the 350.
- me: GREAT!
well. happy new years. the real new years!
