Well not much to report lately. Have not been too overly busy in the past week. We have a busy week coming up tho so I suppose it all balances out.
Anyways I was trying to think of what I could write on here that wouldnt be completely boring... soo I thought I would write about the one thing that is driving me mental dispite it being my number one goal while being down here. When I set out from Canada I determined that possibly my biggest challenge would be learning to not have such rigid time lines for everything as I do in Canada... well needless to say I am being forced to accept that but it is driving me insane at points. ( dad and nana... you could never survive down here haha)
A prime example of how time means nothing was this sunday. We attended a play put on by Kwach Afrika. It was scheduled to start at 4:00 which was widley advertised on all posters and on the tickets themselves. So I as usual arrived at 3:30 to be early and to help if they needed anyone. Well 4:00 rolls around and there werent even any cast members present. It was not until 5:30 that the hole cast arrived and then not until around 6:15 that the show started at which poiunt I had been there for almost three hours!!!! haha anyways it just amazes me how anything gets done, but dispite my confusion and frustration things do happen so I guess I will just continue to keep quiet and maybe start arriving 30 mins late instad of early!!
Hope all is well at home! Love you all!
Jessie
P.S. - Evan andConnor- Yesterday I was sitting in the park reading my book and a lizard about 1 foot long ran up the tree beside me.... I almost fell out of me seat.. but it was quite cool!! They seem to be everywhere down here and the bright green ones jump crazy distances.... so when you try and catch them you have to position yourself so they dont jump at you!! haha

I can see this being rather difficult for you to get use to Jes! There are however many, many times when I wish our culture would slow down, relax and enjoy the little things in life. North Americans are in too big a rush far too often, even Europeans know how to "stop and smell the roses" better than we do. So Jes, maybe just take off that watch and enjoy the chance to take things slowly! Remember, next September you will be back to the grind and on a schedule!
haha oh cousin you make me laugh! Cool photos on facebook by they way:) miss you!
