learn about buddhism

I almost spent 9 weeks this winter in Thailand studying Buddhism as part of an internship/volunteer thing. But then I got an internship in the states instead and wound up staying here… and making money, and seeing my boyfriend. Neither of which are bad things in themselves, but quite the opposite of what I would be doing if studying Buddhism. It was hard to justify to my boyfriend though, and not really fair to him given that I would have been already out of the country for 4 months before going to Thailand. When else in my life will I be able to just take off to Thailand for 9 weeks? Probably never…
