Our history teacher’s leaving for a conference in Cambodia and is going to miss a week of lessons. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. We just started on something other than the Kings of Laos and now we won’t have class. We’re hoping to get some guest speakers while she’s away. As for our language class, we finished our book!! Yay! Now  we have 3 weeks of practicing…

Volunteering at DonKoi’s becoming a little difficult though because for some reason we can never find a tuk-tuk that time in the morning. It’s not that late! Why can’t we find a tuk-tuk to take us to DonKoi!?

So my guitar lessons were awesome :) I learned 5 chords within an hour. What was pretty sad was that I only remembered 3 after he left…Oh yes, and Vatsana went to go dye her hair a darker shade of brown today [what she's been wanting to do for the longest time] and Sandra asked me if I wanted to dye my ends green. I would say yes, but I don’t know if It’ll suit me! But I got a great haircut a while back and watching people’s reaction to it was funny.

So let’s see what we have been up to… oh yeah, one of the LAC teachers invited us to his friend’s restaurant this weekend to sit and relax for a couple hours, and some of us may go. And next week we’re going to have our homestay instead of going to VangVieng! Yes, success :)
