Future Plans

i just looked down at my shaking hand (presumably from my cofi 11 espresso) and decided it would not be prudent to leave just yet, until i come off my coffee high at least. some of you may have met my former-roommate-steve before, but for those who haven't, he is the guy who i'm visiting in bangladesh right now. his fulbright scholar grant finishes up within the next couple months and it couldn't be soon enough for him. he is burned out on the country, but more specifically on ngo's in the country. as a remedy for this, i have graciously offered to accompany him to a small island in the thai gulf, called koh tao, so we can learn to free dive for a few weeks. free diving involves learning to control your heart rate and breath so you can dive down to about 50 feet for several minutes on a single breath of air, like pearl divers. it's much safer than it sounds, really. steve and i will be beach-bums until sheena arrives in early november, when we will travel north to chiang mai university to take our t.e.f.l. class. she and i will then have to be respectable and get jobs teaching english. all this will probably go down early to mid october. my hand has finally stopped shaking, so farewell and good health to you all.
