I might just scream.

I have been stuck in "class" for over 2 hours now. This is ridiculous. I can't hear the professor, and even when I can, there is no pattern or point to this information. We are here to be seeing the city and exploring, so why are we stuck in this restaurant?

It's not even that I have any plans for this afternoon, but this is so frustrating. The professor is such a disorganized man, and then he got mad at us all for not going to a class he didn't tell us about yesterday. So now structure has been installed, or so he says. This is just so hypocritical. And right now I feel like being bitter about it.

Yesterday was one long adventure. We went across the river to try and find Wat Arun. The adventure started when the taxi did not drop us off at the right temple. We checked the temple we were at out, then started wandering in hopes of finding Wat Arun. Over an hour later and after wandering through many small Thai alleyways, we found it. What did we search so hard to find? A million in one stairs set up almost as a death trap. It was cool though, especially to get to overlook the city. After that was another adventure through alleyways to the barge museum, these really ornate long boats the King uses for holidays and such. Then it was back across the river to Wat Po. The reclining Buddha there was gigantic. I was just in awe. Then it started to rain, and we had the original intentions of massages, since Wat Po is the official school for them. So we ducked out of the rain and got massages. Less than 11 bucks for an hour massage. It was slightly painful but so relaxing. Definitely would repeat. All of this adventure took from 9 am until after 5, so we were exhausted. I had plans to go out to one of the night bazaars and such last night, but it was just too much for one day. Maybe tonight, if I ever get out of this ridiculous class.
