Just Kidding...

Turns out we need another vaccine before we can venture to the north. SUCKY. But I suppose we aren’t dead…

So, instead of leaving at 5:30, I went to class at 7:30, Shakespeare. Unfortunately, it’s not only in America that students fall asleep during extremely boring classes. The professor was long-winded and spoke softly: the perfect recipe for a disaster class. Next week I’ll bring my pillow and it’ll be like I never got out of bed. After class I came back to my dorm and slept for a decade. It was probably closer to three hours, but it felt soooo gooood.

I went downstairs for lunch and the minute I said it looked like rain, someone turned on the shower, full blast! We’re talking cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, hamsters and probably a cow or two! I figured it would only rain for twenty minutes like that, as long as a heavy rainstorm at home. NO. It was a torrential downpour for a good hour and even after that it probably took thirty more minutes to drop to a heavy mist.

Our second Twi class was this evening at 5:30. The ground was completely mud. After the thirty minute walk to class, our legs were covered in mud spots flung up from our shoes, cars driving by and people walking past. More than once I slid on a mud patch covering a hard surface, like walking on soapy floors in flip flops. At one point, I had to sacrifice my bag to keep my butt dry. Next time: real shoes.

Bring it on, rainy season.
