Twiddling My Thumbs

Soooo....I have now reached the phase of the school year called vacation. I'm trying to find some other projects to fill the summer. My best ideas, like doing English classes with the high school teachers and making the school library more student friendly, have been delayed for logistical reasons (the teachers are busy teaching private classes and the library is moving to a new space come October). So lately I've been hanging out at the wat and teaching English to the monks, spending a lot of time in the family hammock, and trying to recreate my American mom's limeade recipe (possibly the most ambitious event of my cooking career, as it involves 3 whole ingredients, 4 if you count the water and sugar used to make simple syrup as separate ingredients, as opposed to the usual 2 of pasta + sauce).

Any day now, I'm going to get a brilliant idea that will cause my days to be magically filled with tasks, duties, responsibilities, what have you. Until then, I'll be in the hammock.
