My Study Abroad Blog

Hello, all! I am studying with the International Sustainable Development Studies Institute (ISDSI) in Thailand for this fall semester. For the first five weeks I will be in Chiang Mai at the institute and staying with a host family. There after, I will be taking my field courses: Agroecology, Forests, and Oceans. Each course if 4 weeks long. During the first week of each course, we will live in apartments in Chiang Mai, continuing Thai class and taking seminar class on the topic. After, we will be in the field for 3 weeks with NO internet/phone/etc. I plan to keep a journal during field courses and upload stories/etc. when I'm back in Chiang Mai!!

Off to the fields...


We leave today for SFS course. We are going to UHDP (Upland Holistic Development Project) and staying at the center for almost a week. Then we have mid-course seminar and mid-course paper and then we switch with the other group and we go to Mae Ta (village) and stay with a family for a while and then backpack to another village to stay with another family. We will be learning all about agriculture and we’ll also be working in the fields! It’s going to be really cool and I think our Thai is going to improve IMMENSLY because we have to speak Thai with the villagers and families. But, I am pretty nervous. Be back in 2.5 weeks!!

    It's been more than a week since I tried to post a comment on this blog entry. I know several others who have also tried and failed, but I thought that maybe time does truly heal all wounds and that this might now work. We shall see...
