In honor of a week in which I have spent too much time being afraid about my inability to complete a number of relatively simple tasks needed for graduation, a list of reasonable and unreasonable fears I have about Thailand:
Reasonable fears:
-something bad will happen to my dad or someone else and I won't know or be able to get home in time
-my reservedness will cause me to miss out on interesting opportunities
-my placement will be overwhelmingly stressful and not enjoyable and challenging
-I'll run out of time to see all the things I want to see
Unreasonable fears:
-the little Thai children will assume my haircut means that I am a boy and tell me such, in Thai
-my boyfriend will forget about me and fall in love with someone else
-I'll run out of time to see all the things I want to see (of course this will happen! I want to see everything!)
-swimming in the dark
-being bitten by something rabid or stung by a scorpian
These lists are both shorter than I thought, which is reassuring.
