Hello whoever wants to read this:
I feel so behind in writing this blog, because it's been officially a month tomorrow that i've been away. But, there's no time like the present! So here we go?
I've written a lot of e-mails and such, but I write different things each time, so here maybe I'll be able to write stories so everyone can read them. But here's the thing: I tend to rush these types of things, and i'm not an excellent story teller, so don't be prepared to be impressed with this blog.
Right now i'm sitting in a class that i'm not in. There is an ex-witch doctor speaking to the Theology class I go to when I have time and I really wanted to hear him speak. I'm sitting in the back with my computer, and type things when what he says doesn't catch my attention. Multi-tasking at its' finest! (Africa has a lot of weird religions) (and they have so much rhythm! I should been born here).
So this morning I got an e-mail from Daniel, the guy from Urbana church. And i still don't know what to do this summer! He said there is an elderly couple that lives close to the church who would be willing to rent out their home to me for 350$ a month, and he is still getting back to me on how much the month long internship would cost. And i'd have to pay for my food and plane ticket and whatever else I would need. And I've already spend 200$ here (i went on a weekend field trip to see South Africa's historical sights, went to a professional Rugby game which was KICK ASS, paid to go to a Hillsong United concert coming up, went to a market place and bought some things I or anyone else doesn't need, went to a cheap Thai place twice, bought some pants for biology excursions so i don't get bit by a snake in the ankle, went to coffee once, and you know, everything just adds up! I still am going Bungee Jumping and shark-cage diving in CapeTown, SoooOOooOooooooooooOOOoo ya. And there is a huge group of people going paint balling in town this weekend, and next weekend cliff diving, then bowling, the fun just never stops! ) . So I guess I am worried about money for this summer, and i wish i could know if Urbana would be worth it. I don't know how to get a job back at home! And i don't know if I'll get RA, because if I don't get it then i would definitely not go to Urbana and i would be able to work for 4 months of the summer. So these are my thoughts for the summer.
There is SOO much to say.... I honestly don't know how to say it all. Maybe over time the good stuff will seep out. But here is my first post!
Love love love forever and ever,
Pen Pen.
