1st week thought, “This is it self. You can do this. Everything will be alright. Calm down.”
     The first week was about getting to know the place, the people, and the culture. We had an orientation at Suratthani Rajabhat University on Monday morning and eventually went to Kanjanapisek Wittalayai Suratthani School to meet our respective mentors. That day was really a struggle. I was exhausted and sleepy from the flight but I had to look that everything was fine.
      The following days went on by observing classes of my mentor and the regular routines in the school – the flag ceremony, class hours, lunch, and other stuff. The week passed by faster than I expected. I woke up and suddenly it was Saturday – a time to rest and do the laundry. Sunday was meant for doing lesson plans and learning materials for the actual teaching.
    The first week was meeting new people that I thought I have met before. Their aura gave me a sense of memory with people I know before I met them. I know it’s weird but their comforting personalities felt like they weren’t new to me, that I know them for a long time.
