Hey everyone. It's Wednesday night. I had a late meeting so I decided to practice late, hence the evening blog entry..taking a practice break. This week has been fun. Monday and Tuesday was brass juries so I didn't do much else other than listen to all the brass students here (around 70). Today we had another meeting with Rayavadee about the wedding. I think it went well but we'll see what they offer. We're in negotiations right now. It's kind of fun plus, Dave I are getting good and this whole negotiating business...something new for both of us.

Nothing really exciting to write about. My friend Vicky is coming on Friday. I can't wait to hang out with a girl! I have been only hanging out with Dave, which is fun but I know how important girlfriends are! I need to start branching out and meeting my own friends and I know Dave wants to do the same...it's just more difficult being in a new country. I know it'd be hard in any new place, but I think it's different when you're in a country where you don't speak the language. My shyness comes out when I can't communicate in English. But I'm working on that. Dave and I started Thai lessons with a couple of students here. It's a joint Thai/English learning thing and it's working really well so far.
