Putting a little Thailand into my blog design!

As I'm sure you can see, I just changed around the layout and colors of my blog! The photo at the top is a picture of the sunset on the beach two nights ago.

Once again, I'm writing late and that means I'm tired. I promise I'll write a real entry with photos soon.

Today was a pretty laid-back day. Woke up around 9:30am, rushed to breakfast because it closes at 10. Ate breakfast with two coaches, Amy and Steven, and then chatted with Amy for a while. Left for Phuket around 11am, recorded audio and took a few photos until 4pm, drove back to the resort. Picked up my laundry in town...mmm laundry dried outside smells so good. Took a shower. Sat in the workroom (aka the treehouse), talked to dad online, edited some photos with Pailin. Watched some presentations at the nightly meeting and Pailin showed my new photos. Came back to the room, messed around with my blog, and now I'm about to go to bed.

Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day because it is the national tsunami drill day. Around 9:30am, an alarm will sound and everyone will go heading for the hills. We are covering it as if we're a newsroom covering a breaking news event. There are two different groups going to two different towns. Everyone will be stationed somewhere different (top of the hill, bottom, school, in between). We have people doing video, photos, audio, and writing. I will be doing photos in between the bottom and top of the escape route. Then everything will be compiled into one big multimedia presentation. It will then be placed on the website alongside our individual stories.

Once that is over around noon, we will come back to the resort for a day full of hard-core editing. That won't be too fun, but at least I can do it while sipping fruit shakes by the pool overlooking the Andaman Sea!
