Rainy Season

Today two of my three classes were canceled.  I completely could have gone with Noi to Mae Sot.  That just refueled my being annoyed.  I’m not quite sure why this annoys me so much.  What part of me can’t just let go?  It serves no purpose to be annoyed.

Today after school it was raining real hard.  I don’t mind a little rain, but this was intense.  So I figured I had 3 options.  1.  I could go get my umbrella and walk home.  2.  I could go get my umbrella and ride my motorbike home.  That’s the way the Thai teachers would do it.  I’m not quite sure I could pull off driving a motorbike with one hand and holding an umbrella with another with a purse and a computer bag throwing off my balance.  3.  I could wait and see if the rain stopped or let up to a reasonable amount.  So, I chose option 3.  Then I saw all the minivans driving up to the school to get the students.  Usually they wait outside school for the students.  And all the students not riding minivans came running out heading for their motorbikes.  Ok, so I hadn’t thought of option 4 – Fuck It just run!  I got bored of waiting and walked home.  The rain never let up until sometime in the night.  I was supposed to go to Ging’s house for coffee, but I had to cancel as I now didn’t have the time and didn’t think riding my motorbike in that much rain was safe.
