Yikesss

I have to make this quick because I don't have much time left in the internet cafe, but ill try to make it quick:



this weekend was awesome. we went on safari and we saw SO MUCH! TONS of elephants, impalas, baboons (who were constantly humping, i have awesome pictures, ha) and their adorable babies, zebras, giraffes, buffalos (um, one had a stand off with our van, it was terrifying), warthogs, wildabeasts, hippos, crocodiles... just about everything! we saw a lion once, but it was late at night when we saw it, so we couldn't get a good look at it since it was dark. words cant describe how amazing it was- we literally could touch the animals, thats how close they were to us- but i took lots of pictures, which ill upload as soon as i can.

i also want to mention that i got my grandmother her present from the safari gift shop, which is awesome, and i got THE BEST PRESENT ever for my sister. i dont want to mention waht it is because she reads this but im so excited to give it to her, i cant wait. ill be shopping for everyone elses presents this week!

the only bad part about this weekend was that i got food poisioning yesterday (this is probably going to be a disgusting paragraph, so im warning you in advance). the food is good here, but its really hard to digest- not to get graphic, but i havent gone to the bathroom since last wednesday, which is not healthy AT ALL. my stomach has been in absolute knots, and its extremely hard to the touch, which is scary considering im not exactly known for my tight body, ha. at lunch at the safari yesterday we all had pizza, which was a horrible choice because it made all of my symptoms a hundred times worse- and right after that, we had to pile into the small van to drive 8 hours (yeah, the drive was 8 hours, not 4... not pleasant) so that didnt exactly help either. i talked to my program manager and shes afraid that my body is poisoning itself, so im going to take a laxative tonight to see if i can feel any better tomorrow. gross, i know, sorry, but its hard for me to move, thats how much pain im in- so i couldnt just not mention it. dont freak out anyone, im okay, im not dying of malaria, i just... want to go to the bathroom. BAD.


other than that, i dont know what to talk about! today we have batik lessons which is painting with wax on fabric, but since im already doing that at my placement along with teaching marketing, it might be a little dull, but itll be cool to do it with my friends this time. okay, my minds drawing a blank so im gonna go. byeeee!
