Long time no writing . . . woops

Cheers!

- My monthly allowence of T.P. complements of UB has arrived! They give us four rolls a month. It really is cut throat in my Apt. when it comes to T.P. some people are greedy and just plain sneeky, which can at times cause middle of the night bathroom break issues.
- No Starbucks or McD's in Botswana. At times when you really really need an iced coffee, this can be a little trouble some. Yet, at the same time I find it so cool that the two places in the states that you can always find to refresh you, and at this point in time all over the world, are not here. I mean what other time in my life will i be able to meet other college kids that have never had a Big Mac or a tripple grande Vanilla Non Fat extra foam latte
- Getting the chance to camp and get away from Gabs every now and then. Don't under est. the wonderfulness of it.
- Obama! this past weekend. Way to go dude!
- Having a cell phone that has snake on it! You have no idea how fun this can be when waiting in lines or waiting for your professor in class. What a wonderful game.
- Going on field trips in college (although in this one case if causes a few problems, its still fun). On friday i get to go to a diamond mine and to a pottery place . . . cool, eh?
- Getting mail! Thanks kiki and MEL they were awesome!
- My semester break being one week away! Hellllllo Mozambique!
- Students protesting in class by shouting, clapping, and yelling how they do not agree with an asignment, point, or test. Its really quite fun to watch.

Jeers.
- Egypt winning the African Cup. I really would have loved if a country from Southern Africa could have won.
- Having to leave a day later then expected for joburg. Boo.
- Not seeing Bucky again . . . Knock on wood (no pun intended).
- Time in Botswana movie too fast! If it keeps up at this rate i wont have enough time to do everything that i have been planning on!
- 6 hours of Setswana class a week. It stinks. Our teacher hates us kids from the States and comes to class 10-20 min late each day and then yells at us about how we act like we don't want to be there . . . maybe it is because we are picking up on a message that she is sending out to us. hmmm.
