I wake up at around 6:30 Am. I had thought after pure exhaustion and so much over stimulation my body would at least grace me with double digit sleeping hours, but instead I slumbered for a measly five hours. I decided to take the time to unpack, situate myself, decorate the room, and wash up. I always feel that if I can stabilize myself and have a comfortable home base the trip becomes much smoother of a transition. I am able to find a comfortable place after long days exploring.
All this activity managed to only take a few hours and I wasn’t due anywhere until one pm. Unfortunately I didn’t have any way to contact any of my fellow Fulbrights and my body was starting to feel the jet lag. I realized that with no TV, no internet (yes I do not have internet in my room but that is another blog post), no car, and no confidence (yet) to explore Bangkok that there was not much for me to do for the next couple of hours. My whole way of thinking of how to spend my time is going to change over the next year. I have very few distractions and luxuries of time wasting activities. Your world becomes so much more adventurous when you can’t sit at home and just sit on facebook. When I do decide I want to sit in my room and read – it is a much more purposeful read- A read that is about enjoying every emotion of the character and exploring every possible twist in the story line.
