Already behind on blogging

Surprise, surprise. I haven't updated since I've been in country. Actually I'm pretty sure that isn't a surprise to anyone who knows me. So, to make this easy on everyone I'm going to give a list of short phrases to sum up my week leading up to Thailand. Late-night packing. Three hours of sleep. Early morning wake-up. Nervous car ride to Indianapolis International. Tears at the gate. Flight to Philadelphia. Meet some other volunteers. Starbucks. Official Peace Corps welcome. Meet more volunteers. Aspirations. Meet more volunteers. Expectations. Fears. Meet more volunteers. Early morning wake-up. Bus to JFK. Maintenance issues. Wait in baggage claim. Finally get on flight to Thailand! Japan. Spend night in hotel. Narita International. Late-night landing in Bangkok. Huge hotel room. Three hours of sleep. Information sessions. Bed. Get bikes. Bike riding all day. Sweat. A lot. Bed. Meet governor. Introductions in Thai. Nerves. Information sessions. First official Thai lesson. Bike-riding test. Bed. I promise my other blogs will be more information-rich. This week has been beyond exhausting, though. Tomorrow we're moving in with our host families, who we'll be living with for the rest of our pre-service training (PST). My Internet connection could be very sparse, so I may not be able to update for awhile (but I promise I will.)
