Hello hello all, I hope everyone had a very nice Christmas and New Years. I spent most of the time in rural South Africa, so the internet didn't really happen, but I did learn that literally almost every single person in South Africa has at least one cell phone, no matter what their income or living conditions. Overall the trip was really nice, we all had lots of fun. I have tons of pictures, but I think I'll only upload the ones that I took with our digital camera onto the internet. I found a really nice file renamer so I've got to sort through all of those and and then I'll get them up.
Anyway, considering that I was gone for 3 weeks my first day in reality was actually a very nice one. First of all, I happily don't have to do a big German project that happened before break, and that's very nice of my german teacher considering I have little time as it is. All the other teachers were really nice about things as well, so I don't think making up all of my classes will be nearly as stressful as I thought it would be, and it's also really nice to find out that a lot of the classes were amazingly lazy while I was gone so they didn't accomplish that much anyway. It was also very nice seeing all of my friends today, 3 weeks is a long time to not have any contact with anyone, besides from that one phone call. I was also happy because I got to see my dog today, gah Heidi is so cute, apparently she had a nice time where we were boarding her because she would play with the other dogs so much they eventually got sick of dealing with her and left. She's all fluffy now with her winter coat. Plus, plus, I got my luggage back today, way to go Delta for finding it, even though they lost it in the first place, gah. But I got it back. And it was also happy that I got to curl today, even though I complained about being a tired South African. I still had fun curling. Overall it was a very happy today which didn't smack me in the face like it was expected to. Thanks everyone for being happy to see me, that was nice. I've got a bit of catching up to do, but I'll try to find time to upload those pictures really soon. G'night.
