Tragedy and A Rainy Day

I have a sad story to tell :(
Sometime last week a tragedy happened in Mojo. Alyssa and i were coming home late one night and just going about our business as usual, when i went to the bathroom. I saw something floating in the toilet and the first thought to come to my mind was yuck someone didn't flush. then...it shifted and the look of it struck me kind of funny. So i leaned over more to take a closer look. and what I saw was a little bat! A BAT! what the heck how does a bat get in a toilet? well i freaked out a little at first which i mean is expected. Then Alyssa and i were puzzled on what to do. We wanted to get the poor little guy out but knowing the little we do about bats, we know they bite and may have rabies or something. So we did the only thing we could, shut the door and put a note warning the other girls. In the morning someone came to fetch him from the toilet. Poor little thing. It is still a mystery to how it got in the toilet in the first place.

Today was such good weather in Africa! It rained! It is still raining. Liyanetha! that is is is raining in zulu. Well anyhow, Cynthia, Nicole, Josh, Alyssa, and I were in the zulu room being good students and getting our homework done. We got restless though, probably due to the million cups of coffee we had. seriously we were like high on the stuff. Brilliant ones we are we decided to have a water chugging contest. I mean of corse right. Well Josh won, but only due to the fact that the rest of us could not stop laughing. The laughing caused water to end up everywhere. We did have philosophical conversations though. About ants climbing up wall carrying moths and how the can get knocked over but keep going unlike humans sometimes. We also discussed the idea of animals having a different form of language in each country. For example, in Spain the animals may speak a more spanish form of animal talk. And in Africa maybe a more zulu form. This is debatable. I think that they may, but there were many arguments against it. I am determined to find evidence though.

Then what else is there to do in the rain in Africa but play rugby! it was so much fun! you slip and slide and fall and glide. it was a great way to get some exercise for sure. You have to be willing to tackle and be tackled in this game. i was unsure of that whole part at first, but once you do knock someone down or get knocked down, your ready to push from there. It was a lot of fun!

Tomorrow is Durban with the Zulu kids. Cant wait!
