Haha! Out of classes for the week! Now I get to BURN MONEY! BWHAHAAHAHAHAH!
... seriously. I haven't bought anything here in Bangkok except for food and a large supply of bottled water on a daily basis. Oh, and taxi fare and paying for the school trips. ^^;
And a purple, sparkly pinwheel. *squees* I'm glad I went out yesterday to the temple to see the festival. There was a part where the festival was, which was mostly a lot of covered booths where monks (!!!) were preaching and Buddhist stuff was going on. Everything was in Thai, but it was a cool experience. This is where I bought my pinwheel. ^^;
After that we were taken to the temple... I forget which Wat it was, but it's by the Golden Mount. At the temple I bought offerings (lotus flowers, candle and incense -- only 20 baht [50 cents]), then we walked around the Big Ass Gold Buddha statue three times while the monks chanted. Then I climbed up the Golden Mount (short for mountain? not sure), which was a HELL of a lot of stairs, but good because we got up high and could feel a breeze.
Yes, I took pictures. ^_____^
Anyway, since there's no more classes, I think I might do some shopping at MBK (off the Siam station -- I asked Albert). I don't really like to go alone, but I don't want to seem too needy or anything. -__-; I don't know anybody here really well, and I already know a few people (girls) don't particularly like me. Maybe they should stop whispering where I can hear them.
*sighs* Maybe I WILL go shopping, if only to make myself feel better.
Oh... and I need to see if I can go on the City Tour on Saturday (if not, I go next Saturday), and then it's the floating markets on Sunday. If I don't go on the tour on Saturday, I already asked Albert if he would take me to the Weekend Market. I guess I don't mind going around alone, since it seems I may not have a choice, but I'm paranoid and such and prone to get lost.
I hate being sensitive of what others think of me sometimes. It seems that everyone on this trip has had really great experiences and stuff, whereas I have none. >_<;
Must stop being depressed. I need lunch. And to spend money.

And also *HUGS* because if they don't like you, they're the ones missing out. They're just jealous, so screw 'em.
