Some one must have leaned on the thermostat this morning, its beginning to be the hottest day yet. And best of all its only 9:00 am. Today's the first day in awhile I made a schedule for myself, since day one I've been trying to get out of that habit. I saw it as something of a hinderence to Thai Time.
Thai Time is the schedule many Thais live by - It'll happen when it happens - and for many travelers it becomes a Philosophy to apply to life. I'm an over organized person so braking loose of schedules puts my in an odd state of mind. I panic sometimes and become a little too irratable, then I become too comfortable letting random things slide. Then I jumpstart back into stress, then into peace, then into lazyness, then.......I think you get the idea. However recently I've mastered this system, at least for myself. Mainly that was allowing myself to let go, let go of final plans and allow myself to be patient. If I could pinpoint one single aspect of growth that I've gone through in Thailand; it would be patience.
But back to today. I woke up early to the sounds of a motorcycle racing by. The concrete walls on either side of the streets amplify the noise; I could swear this motorcycle didn’t have a muffler. But it probably did I was just a little extra cranky because I had 6 minutes till my alarm. Bucket shower, clothes, lesson plan. And on the my way down to eat breakfst I made a shedule for my day, It seems like a good idea, a lot of things seem stacked up for the end of this week. It felt good, like the feeling of having a lesson plan goes exactly right. Which is nothing like what the M.1 class I just taught. 32 kids in a room with 20 seats. But I'll go more into that later.
