Leah and I have spent the last few days spending as much time as possible with Amanda. Sunday, we went out to eat with her after our last classes. It was fun and the food was really good. Salads are always wonderful, so is chicken. Yesterday, we went to a hotel and laid out in the sun. Sun baking is fun!! The only thing was we were treated like celebrities. Thai people stood out on their balconies to look at us, try and talk to us, and holler at us. It got awkward after a while... I don't really enjoy being half naked in front of anyone, let alone strangers!
I made an awful mistake: I stayed on my stomach the whole time. Last night, I realized my
terrible mistake. I am seriously a lobster. A lobster! The only thing I lack are the pinchers...We went with Amanda to the train station, said our goodbyes, it was really sad. We hope to see her again, either to visit Australia, or for her to come to America. I really hope to see her again in my life!!
Anyways, back to my sunburn: Ae, the pastor's wife, cut multiple leaves from the aloe vera plant out front of the school, and made an aloe vera mix. It was freezing! I laid on the floor of my apartment, pretty much naked, and got treated to a spa of frigid aloe vera leaves. It felt good and relieving since my skin felt like it was on fire.
I don't understand myself. I must not think at times. I have the greatest chance of receiving skin cancer given my red hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. You'd think I'd take
precaution to the sun, but nope. I always find myself burning. I did it in Mexico last year for spring break, pretty sure that was a first degree burn, and here I am in Thailand burning again. What is wrong with me?
