Our UNC advisor sent us this link, which is pretty interesting

One of my classes in Thailand is Life Cycle Assessment, which if you didn't know what that meant or entailed, the interview does a pretty good job of what my class will discuss, fyi. My first LCA class will be on Monday. All of the classes in Thailand are once a week, but for three hours, and I went to a class today to see if I might take it as an option. All of the UNC students fell asleep and the teacher called the class off after a little over 2 hours because she could tell we were all in another dimension. It was pretty funny, but I'm going to have to figure out a way to pay attention for 3 hours. The longest classes at UNC are 1:15 and last summer I took a class at NCSU for 1:30 during summer school. We shall see how it works. At least the 3 hour class usually includes a 15 minute + break.

Perhaps after next weekend I can upload some more pictures, as I don't have many up but I'm very excited because our teacher is coming this weekend and taking us to Bang Saen, a beach where he did Peace Corps work in the seventies. It will be a neat experience, while the beach isn't known for the aesthetics as much as many of Thailand's other beaches, it has a personal appeal to Dr. Kamens which will be interesting and neat to learn about and hear about its progression. A friend that goes to NCSU is in Bangkok also, and she contacted me about getting together and potentially we may travel somewhere.
