The rest of the exchange students got here today. I think we're a pretty good group! It reminds me of freshman year when everyone is just so excited to meet everyone else and have a new experience together, we're all really really positive and nice to each other. I hope that doesn't change.
Here's a picture of my main girlfriends. From the left: Marney, Meris (my roommate), Charity, and me:
The manager of the condos we rented today is the most adorable little Thai man I've ever met. His name is something very long and Thai, but we're supposed to call him Justin. He speaks very good English for a Thai person, which made the act of renting until May endlessly easier than it would have been otherwise. He learned English by practicing in front of a mirror. Isn't that funny? And by the end of the two or so hours we spent checking out apartments and signing papers he had memorized all of our names. Genius. This is the funny part, though. First, I think he was wearing blush. Second, he had a dimple on one of his cheeks. This is how I found out about that dimple:
Me: "Do we pay our rent in cash?"
Him: "Yes." Then: "I love my king." Then: (Points to dimple) "See my dimple?"
Me: "Yes."
Him: (Sly smile) "Surgery."
Isn't that hilarious? I included our exchange because I don't know where the king comment came from. I think either the king has a dimple, too, or the king is on the money. Either way, I love him. He's going to be our lifeline for the first month or so, because he speaks such good English. I can't wait to hang out with him.
By the way, my completely furnished, beautiful apartment with a swimming pool that rivals UT's Gregory pool, costs $255 a month:
