Today wasn't too eventful. I did some laundry and helped someone with her friend's English presentation about the king. Whoever wrote the presentation did not understand the concept of English sentences. For example, "Sufficiency. The government officials, lawyers, businessmen at all levels. The result of the economic boom." Maybe it was her way of doing bullet points, but most of the slides had full sentences so I tried to correct these garbled messages as best as I could. It made me think about my essays in French. Do I think I write well when in reality, I write incoherent sentences? I hope not.
I saw my first cockroach in the bathroom today. It gave me quite a scare when I opened the door and it raced out at me. I also found out that ticks don't just live in the US, they live in Thailand too! The stray dogs get lots of them, it must be so uncomfortable. I helped pull some off of my favorite dog, "Dotcom". He's a dalmatian mix and he wags his tail every time he sees me. I think he's everyone's favorite dog since he's fatter than the rest of them. I think I found 6 ticks in all.
They were cutting down trees today for some reason, but I got sleepy and took a nap in the library. So much for helping them...oops. I told Ven. Dhammananda that the doctor said to come back Monday if my rash did not get better and since it was getting worse, I should probably go back to the hospital again. I also felt sick to my stomach (I think from not eating enough here). She decided that the medication was making me sick and that I should try homeopathy instead. Not the answer I thought I would get. Oh well, hopefully I can take a day off soon, I think I need it.
