The rains are coming....

It's technically the rainy season here in Bangkok, even though the rains haven't yet arrived. They are certainly well on their way, though, as last night the sky was illuminated with flashes of silent lightning (as compared to the storm in Texas the other day, where the lightning was so intense, there was a seemingly perpetual rumble of thunder, and it felt like you were in a photographer's studio). Skies have been growing increasingly dark in the late afternoon as well, and the sidewalk vendors have been prepping to cover their stalls with plastic.
Off to the hospital this morning before work to get my formal work permit checkup--basically, to make sure I don't have any diseases or that I am of a "feeble and unsound mind." Maybe I shouldn't tell them I'm a law student...

Back in Bangkok

I will be reactivating this blog as I am now back in Bangkok, and will be here for two months working for a law firm--and it feels great to be back in Thailand for the third time.
I will also finally get around to posting about my trip to my friend's school in Borneo that I never got around to fully detailing--I know the five of you (aka my aunts and parents) that read this blog have been waiting with baited breath to hear about it. Unfortunately, a little thing called 1L kind of got in the way of me updating this blog during the year.
