Bilbo Gets a Blister (or, This is a Really Big Campus)

Success!

... Sort of.

We did make it to class on time yesterday. Despite walking. And being lost. And finding out that the map of campus we were given doesn't actually have most of the buildings on it.

And then we even made it back to the hostel. Despite walking. And being lost. And finding our way to the taxi that doesn't actually turn into the right road but drops us off at the end of it.

The campus is massive, especially compared to Carlow, but there's a shuttle if we can figure out how to use it. There are a bunch of dogs, too. They seem to just... chill around, sleeping mostly. One of them walked beside us for a bit. Vegetation is pretty much everywhere - random pockets of grass, miscellaneous trees, vines hanging down around the supports of awnings and such. Both of our professors seem very easy to get along with, and the amount of work we're being told to expect doesn't look too bad. There should still be plenty of time for going out into the city between classes and homework. There's a lot of good food on campus, too. We'll just need to be leaving plenty early to find our way around.

The Thai Civilization and Culture professor is teaching us some basic vocabulary, thank goodness.

Tonight we get to figure out how to do laundry.

Somehow still on the right track,
Carrie, Writer in Training
