The Thai language hates me
So here I thought I dropped that class a couple of weeks ago- turns out I was wrong. Ohio University sends out your class schedule several times during a quarter through e-mail, I always wondered why they did this, until now. My journey began yesterday morning, when I opened one of these e-mails and saw that I am in fact still registered for my Thai class. First I go to the registrars office, who then tell me to go to the graduate services office, where I receive the news that because it is SO LATE (we are only on the 4th or 5th week, I think) in the quarter (we just had mid-terms) that I have to get permission from the Dean in order to drop the class. I fill out the form and take it to her office, only to have her look over it and say. "Where is your statement" and "We usually only do this for medical reasons." (Great.) I reply, "I wasn't sure how formal I needed to be since I have already cleared this through the director of my program and thought I dropped it weeks ago. Not to mention, at my last school this wasn't as complicated of a process." To which she decided to let the director of my program "handle it".I also burned my hand yesterday making steamed dumplings (at least they were tasty).
And on Monday night I began my application process for the Peace Corp (I have been told that sometime it can take months and months to find out if you are accepted)- for those concerned, this isn't like joining the army, I can back out at anytime, even after I'm in the country that I'm suppose to volunteer in.

good luck w/ the thai thing...colleges can be so stupid, especially for institutes of "higher learning".
peace corps! fun! that's awesome.
Wow, you're going to join the Peace Corp. I hope you can avoid the malaria...although you would probably lose a lot of weight and that's always a bonus.
