A Dreamlike Adventure
Week 4

I still stayed at the dorm for the whole day to prepare for my teaching tomorrow. I don’t know what’s going to happen but I will just do my best. I hope that everything goes well tomorrow. Fighting!

I was extremely nervous today. Why? Because I was evaluated today by my supervisor, Miss Sitah and my cooperating teacher, Miss Joy. I was really really nervous until the time has come that I need to face this nervousness.
My nervousness eventually vanished when I started to teach. Thank God for that.
Miss Sitah requested us to have a meeting with her so that she can give her feedbacks and her suggestions in regards with our teaching.
I am contended with my evaluation somehow and I know that I did my very best.
We also took pictures with her and she also treated us in a cafe.
In the evening, Bom and Prem, our student buddies, went to our dorm to pick us up to eat dinner with them. Unfortunately, Meida wasn’t able to come because she was not feeling well.

Even though I have been evaluated already, I still went back to the school in order to help my cooperating teacher. I also want to see my students since the days that I’ll be staying here are already numbered.
While staying in the school, I gathered some information for my blog and took photos of the rooms in the demonstration school.
We were supposedly going to have a dinner with our student buddies, however, Meida got sick that we need to bring her to the clinic for prescription. After buying medicine and foods, we all headed back to the dorm for Meida to rest.

I and the other SEA teachers were supposedly invited to the Chinese New Year celebration of the university. However, both Meida and Emelyn got very sick that they needed time to rest. Miss Arry visited them whenever she got time. She also brought foods for us. I was really thankful for Miss arry for taking care of them very well. When Miss Arry asked me if I still want to attend the event, I respectfully rejected it because there’s no one who can stay with Meida and Emelyn except me. When Miss Arry left, I became an instant nurse for the two sick patients.
While caring for the both of them, I also started making my presentation for our closing program on Friday. I really can’t believe that I am about to leave Chiang Mai.
When Emelyn woke up and told me that she was feeling better, I decided to stroll around the city alone. I just want to savor the moment while I am still here in Thailand. Honestly, I don’t want to go back to my own country anymore...

The Demonstration School was still close today but I woke up very early in the morning. The moment I opened my eyes, a sudden realization had struck me again. I only have few more hours left to enjoy and spend my days here in Chiang Mai. I cannot imagine leaving the Demonstration School, my students, my teachers, supervisor, mentor and especially my friends. Just the thought of us parting ways already breaks my heart. Sure, it was only for a short moment that we’ve been together, but it was such a magical thing that we were able to build and close bond among each other. In order to wash away those thoughts, I just got up and went to the lavatory to take a shower.
Our buddies told us that they’ll bring us to Warorot Market to buy souvenirs. After buying souvenirs they told us that we’ll be eating our last dinner together. The term “last dinner really breaks my heart. What I did the whole morning while waiting for afternoon to come was I made my presentation for the closing program. It was a bittersweet feeling while making the presentation. I smiled evertyimr I remember the things that happened to me, however, it also makes me sad for everything that happened will just become a history and I won’t be able to comeback during those times. Another heartbreak for me.
In the afternoon, we were not able to stay at the Warorot market for so long because Meida suddenly felt that she was about to puke. So, it was the best decision for all of us to go back to the dormitory. We stayed for an hour in our rooms before going to the place where we are going to eat. Sai and Iang, stayed with us so we were able to talk for a while. While talking to them, I can’t imagine leaving them, When it was already 6: 30 pm, we decided to go to a nearby restaurant.
We went to Bonnam. The place was so cozy for me. it made the night more special for us. Our other buddy, Kik, also joined us for tonight’s dinner. They ordered a lot of food. Like aloooot. They also told us that it was their treat for us. We had so much fun talking with each other while we were eating. After eating, they also gave us some remembrance. I was really fighting back my tears that time. I really don’t want to leave them. After some small talks, they decided to bring us back to the dormitory. I won’t forget all the things that we did this night. I will treasure it forever.
