All the crazy shit we did tonight

New Years Eve!
I think new years abroad is the most fun. Let me set the scene. IN Bozrah, its cold. Not just kind of chilly, but COLD. New Years eve I was lounging on the beach all day, working on my tan and reading my book (Saturday, by one of my favorite authors, Ian Mcewan if you cared). This has much been the routine for the last 3 days, which is making me question how I functioned in a normal society previous to this. That night the dormmates and I got a “family bucket” (which is exactly as it sounds) and started bar hopping. This is easy on an island the size of UCONN’s campus (the size of the island will soon become problematic). While doing this I ran into MAXXXXXXX from Koh Tao, the scuba diving friend who also went to UCONN. IT was a day~maker for sure. We went to the beach, which is the norm just in time for Midnight which was bonkers. Although there was no official countdown, similar to Shinoukville, you just kind of new it was midnight by the mass amount of fireworks that started exploding. Asia’s all about them. Christmas eve, now, it was amazing, and maybe one of the prettiest things. I truly believe everybody should party on a beach at least once for new years, especially while young. I really do think the Thai coast is amazing. After that, it got more fun, but you have to be part of the trusted council to hear the tales of triumph and glory, (and triumph was had my friends.)
Now I have about a week until I have to bounce up to Chiang mai for this class (Bleeeeeh) and don’t really know what to do. I could go do more island hopping, or I could just sit on Koh Phi Phi for the week and laze about. Both have the pros and cons, but I know people here, and I’m spending about 10 dollars a day, which is swell, as I really want to make it to May without a job so I can play with TINNNNNAAAAA. There’s a con, but it’s a long story for a different day. I’m not going to ask what you would do, since I really don’t care. I’ll figure it out, I always do.

So to my 4 readers, here’s to a successful and happy new year. Do what you love, fuck the rest.
Take care,
