So yesterday was interesting. I woke up to find myself sick! Yay joy of joys. On the day I had plans to go out with friends I finally got sick. Well the morning was fun but luckily after much rest I felt better enough to still go out. My friends were having a send off party for a boy in my class named Film tomorrow he leaves for Belgium he's doing an AFS year program too. It was a lot of fun over 30 of my classmates came. At the end they made a circle around film and sang to him. My friend Puay has an amazing voice and she started it off. I couldn't understand the songs because they were in Thai but I could tell they were filled with love and good wishes. It was so moving to watch 30 people sing and send their love to one. Soon they were all crying. When they finished they gave him a big hug. Then they made him put on a white shirt and they all signed it along with a big poster for him to take with him. It was weird to be sending off a friend to another country and reminded me of my going away party. It also made me realize that I'm so lucky because now all these people are my friends and they are all really amazing. Well other than that I don't really have to much to add. Other than that my host brother got jipped in a competition for speaking english. It was judged only by Thai teachers and I'm pretty sure his enlgish is too much like that of a native speaker so they couldn't understand him. Still he came in 4th out of 18 and was the youngest by 2 years so I'm very proud.
