It's raining again for the second time since I've been in South Africa. I think right now the average is once a month or so. I'm inside my room with a cup of five roses tea, my take-home exam for my media class (which is kicking my butt by the way) and the oddly comforting sound of the rain bouncing off the tin roof.
I really want to go outside and play in the rain, except that a. it's a little too cold out for that and b. I still have this stupid final exam to do. My state sovereignty exam this morning was only brutal in the fact that it made my hand cramp. Otherwise not too bad. There was talk of having a brai (barbecue) tonight, but it just started thundering a lot, so I don't know if that will be a go. We still have three hours for the weather to clear up, so here's hoping.
My week-long vacation officially starts tomorrow, and a bunch of us are leaving for Mozambique on Sunday, which is right around the time Vassar really gets going. We have to get visas first, which hopefully won't prove to be a problem. I went out with Sasha yesterday to take some truly awful passport pictures. Mine would double pretty well for a mugshot. Actually I feel like my mugshot would look cooler. Well, except for the fact that it would mean I'd be going to jail.
Anyways, this is me stalling. But now I'm going to be good and do my work.

The pictures you sent this week were SO cute! I had been planning to get a pet at the local MSPAC...but this gives me some new ideas. Any chance you could bring me a baby tiger for my new condo in Newburyport, MA?? I love cats! It would be PURRfect!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for your wonderful blog. It is fun to keep up with your life in South Africa. Have a great trip to Mozambique!
