Welcome Back

So I have not been writing recently. Don't know why really. The days have been going well. So I will catch you up on the activities of this past week. Warning there is one complaint to come, basically I was upset that I let someone upset me (but more details to come).

  • Two Favorite Quotes of the Week:
  • Jessica turns to me when entering a survey with a blatently wrong answer and asks "What would Jesus do?" as in do we put what was said or what we know to be correct. My answer "Jesus would ignore it."
  • When Jing asks Jessica how she is doing she responds "I have two drinks"
  • Watched an elephant for 30 minutes in the national park, it was absolutely amazing. Except that the male elephant was a bit excited the entire time.
  • Tsebee heard on the side of the road was awesome. I have never heard of them but it was pretty cool.
  • A rare river dear, that I cannot remember the name of. He hung out around our deck for almost an hour.
  • Chinese Checker Tournament
  • Shopping at the cool Mashi Craft Market. Everything is super cheap, but way too big to get back to the states. I did buy an awesome hornbill statue that I have no clue how to get back
  • Free chalet at the Namushasha lodge. The girls lucked out on this one. Poor guys are still amping, but I really have no sympathy for them. It is the first time since Gabs that I have had a roof over my head.
  • We found a cope center in town that sells US magazines. I know that this seems minor, but i ran out of books to read 2 weeks ago. I am savoring the pages of O, Elle, and Marie Claire every night before bed.
  • One of the coolest things about this trip is that Jessica and I have become close. Thank god that she is here. We really did not know one another before heading out, and I later found out that she used to think I was uptight. But things are cool now and we are really depending on one another for sanity.
  • Our leader, who is sitting next to me as I write this, has been getting trashed the last couple of nights. I think the stress and lack of help from Brian are really starting to get to him. At least he is hilarious when drunk, but he does ask a lot of questions. Bit odd.
  • More to come!!!
