Just started MEDO classes this past week. I am a little stressed about the whole thing right now, but I'm sure it will get better. The main thing that upsets me is the fact that I missed the whole weekend with the fact that I do not have internet at my new apartment yet. I didn't get on the internet at all and the instructor put information on blackboard Friday morning (over here). Some of the activities were due on Sunday night at midnight. Since I didn't log on until Monday morning (back home), I guess I'm going to be a little late on some things.
My responsibility, I just know what to expect now. Also, the time difference is a little of an issue. It might take a couple of weeks to adjust to when things are going to be posted and when they are due.
One aspect of the school that I recently thought was interesting, and it must be for all of Thailand as well, is the fact that many of the athletic activities take place during school hours. Our campus does not have many athletic teams, but the ones we do have play their games during class time. I thought this was interesting because I never saw this take place back home.
Also, being a coach, I have noticed that not many kids participate in the athletic teams of the school. I see these teams a great way to improve school pride. However, many of the students are not active in these teams and I feel the school pride suffers from that. There is a new PE teacher who does a lot of coaching and he has been doing a good job of building this up, but overall I would say the school pride here is weaker than I have experienced back home.
