Thursday. Classes Finished. Procrastinating on lesson planning for next week. No one online to bother with inane chat small talk that always starts with "How's it going?" and then peters out to nothing.

Current thoughts:
God, I'm full.
How do I do a Life Skills camp?
I want to take a shower.
... and a nap.
I wonder which lesson the 5th graders are on?
Oh yeah. Wild animals. Hmm. What lesson shall I do that has cheetahs and lions and tigers and bears in it?
Oh my.
I need to pack for the weekend.
I REALLY need to find a secondary project.
I should blog more.
Does anyone want any cats?
What does this child want from me?!

Ah. My co-teacher has returned. It's lesson planning time!

I saw the title of this post and thought it was about poop.

Yes, please blog more. It gives me things to do while thinking of projects that don't involve me teaching English.

Hi there,

My name is Ari and I was a PCV in Ghana '06-'08. Now I'm in Chiang Mai for the summer on a program sponsored by law school, doing an internship with an NGO. Chiang Mai seems cool, but I'm really interested in learning about Thailand and while Lonely Planet has a lot of fun ideas for how to spend my time here, that's not exactly what I'm going for.

So...I'm looking for PCVs within 5 hours or so of Chiang Mai who wouldn't mind if I paid them a visit. I realize you're not running a hotel, so I'd be happy to put myself up at a nearby guesthouse. I would just ask that you tell me how to get to your site and let me hang out with you for a bit. Yes, I realize this may seem a bit weird and you may be wondering why you should respond to me (or maybe you're totally into a random american dropping by, in which case skip the rest of this paragraph). Third goal anyone? You can do it right here in Thailand! Other than that, I'd be happy to bring you gifts from Chiang Mai (just let me know what you're into). Oh, also “fortune favors the bold” is my new favorite phrase.

If you're not anywhere near Chiang Mai, then I would appreciate it if you could forward this to PCVs who are. My email address is apeskoe at gmail. Here are some of my photos from Ghana: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aripeskoe and here is my Ghana blog that includes the obligatory PC disclaimer: http://aripeskoe.blogspot.com/

Note: I'm posting this message on every PCV Thailand blog I can find in the hope that someone wants to meet me :)

Thanks for reading.
