First Full Moon of the year, February 2010 Ensues
The last day of the first month has arrived and departed with the passing of 2010’s first full moon, marking the midpoint of the third month of the Thai lunar calendar. In two weeks time, this moon shall have waned into nothingness, a new month which will coincide with Chinese New Years on the same day as Valentine’s day. February begins.
The large round moon flares secondary beams over the night city sky—though the calendar says it’s the first waning night, it might as well have been the sixteenth waxing night. Looking up at the mighty golden night rock reminds us of the flaring stripes of the tiger that looks over this year.
The university term begins to settle with projects and papers marked and approaching in my personal time planner, midterm exams just around the corner mid-late February, about the same time that the Thai teaching term commences with their final examinations, projecting some lessened pressure at work for a short spell. Remains to be confirmed whether the existing contract will continue on, securng living n studies through the rest of the year.
Including room rent, utilities (water, electricity, mobile phone), dining hole tab, loan return, flat screen, refrigerator, ukulele, and monthly payment for the latest purchase of this brand new 11 inch Acer Aspire 1410 dual core Timeline model notebook, I anticipate some 15,000 baht in bills (just under 500 $USD), or about half of my anticipated salary after docked deductions due of missed days given to university obligations.
The ensuing weeks shall be abundant in tasks, plenty of pressure; steadily smoothing by into the year, mindfulness and patience must be embraced as everything falls into place. Following are some images to add a few thousand more words to this update.
A potential disaster mess powering the mass of the country.
What do teachers do after work on Fridays? Plan for the next week of course!
