Here’s another report from our 15-year-old international school correspondent, Pancake.Hey guys! What’s up?!! Happy New Year and all that. Damn (ooh, can I say that here?), it’s sooo hot these days. I mean I can, like, hardly breathe! I heard on the radio when me and my friend Tik were on our way to a midnight sale that this year will be the hottest ever in Thailand since, like…I don’t know…dinosaurs or something. Remember, I warned you all about the ozone!So I guess this is a good time to be splashing around and being wet. I’m fully not into it, though. I mean, seriously, you have no idea where they get that water from. It could be, like, klong water or from a public toilet that smells like ass—gross! No way I want naam nao on my face—not when I spend this much on it. And then there are all those drunk perves out there trying to feel you up. Yeah, dudes, as if.This year we’re going to my friend Dan’s family’s house in Hua Hin, but I’m just glad to get out of school for a while. You older people probably forgot how hard it is to be a student, but it really is, believe me—and it’s a lot harder now, even though we have cool stuff you didn’t like DG Razrs and MySpace.Did you see in the Philippines how that principal or whatever took his own students hostage so he could get more money for his school? Duh-uh. Why don’t you just go rob a bank or something? Now he’s in jail and what happens to those little Filipino kids now? You know they look kinda like Thais?OK, that was the Philippines, but even here there was this bitch (sorry, is that OK?) school director who was hitting little kids with her high heels! I mean, I know she wasn’t hitting them that hard because the heel didn’t break off, but still. See what it’s like for us? Sure, nothing terrible like that would ever happen to anyone I know, but we still have to hear about it, and it, like, really stresses you out.That’s why kids these days are getting diet pills and even teachers are doing ephedrine or whatever. And what’s up with that uni student and that tutor guy? Eeew. OK, he’s rich and all but c’mon. What a loser. I’d like to say right now to all you girls out there: don’t go out with your ajarn. Oh, yeah, and you guys, too, if your ajarn is, like, gay.So don’t take drugs, people! They will make you crazy!
