Week Two: Classes!

Here are some highlights of my first week of school in Africa! (And my last one as an undergraduate college student!)

• Here in Africa, no one really knows what's going on. Because of this, I never really know what's going on! So on the first day of school, I had no idea what classes were meeting when and where and who and what and how. Because no one really knew! Flexibility people. I ended up missing my first class at 8:30 on Monday morning (which was fine because the professor didn't show up anyway. We'll see if that's a common happening.) But no worries. By the middle of the week I had a firm grasp on where I had to be and when. And I only had to miss a couple classes in between then!
• Community Fellowship (aka Chapel) = party! Dancing, clapping, banging Gospel Choir, speakers who are PREACHIN! It's awesome.
• A few friends and I practiced with the volleyball team yesterday! Intense. I'd show you the bruises on my arms to prove it if you weren't thousands of miles away.
• Benny Hinn on the television in the common room 24/7. (OK maybe 24/7 is an exaggeration. But they do love their Benny Hinn here.)
• Rice and beans. For every. Single. Meal. And that's not an exaggeration.
• So the only place we're really allowed to run here is on the track. Bumm-er! EXCEPT when there are MONKEYS jumpin' around in the morning!!! Never have I been so excited to run on a track in my life.
• I love learning! Especially in Africa!

I'm leaving for a two week home stay in 46 minutes. I'm sure I'll have tons of stories for you after that! And hey. Do something cool for Jesus today! He loves you. :)
