Under the Weather Bug

Something has been going around.
Something weeeeeird.
Not a flu or a cold or anything like that.
Just a grey cloud that has been sprinkling a little bit of its gloominess on people and things.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but the past few days have been a little off.
It's weird cause I thought it was just me going through my homesick/thinking about life phase, but others seem to be going through something similar at the same time.
Weird weird weird.. !

But for some comic relief, a bunch of us went to On Broadway (Short Market St.) to watch David Newton and his "Politically Incorrect" show. It was hil-ar-ious. He had me in tears at more than I can count on one hand. He dived into areas that left a lot of us "politically correct" Americans uncomfortable, but I personally thought he was just making a good joke out of a bad situation. Laughing never hurt anyone, right? He was also one of our South African friend's (Siv) good friend, so he came by our table before and after to say hello. Funny guy.

And yesterday was what...Tuesday?
Ahhh that's right.
Another karaoke night at Catu Irish Bar.
If it wasn't for all us Connect interns, the place would've been dead.

My new roommate came in yesterday from Zambia. Well, she's actually from Wisconsin but she was volunteering for a month in Zambia. She seems like a cool girl so far and I'm excited to get to know her.

I had two driving lessons with my carpool buddy, Keith, last week.
It was pretty successful in the aspect that I got the concept down... but when I took it out on the streets, the pedestrians seemed deathly afraid of me. When I reached a crosswalk, I had to stop cause so many cars were moving back and forth, and people were trying to cross. So everytime I put my foot on the brake, I would forget to keep it on the clutch also. And not to mention they have London-style streets! Too much multi-tasking for me. So literally, I stalled out about 5 times at the crosswalk. I had to turn the engine back on, put it into the first gear, make a fool out of myself, etc. etc. etc. But it was fun. I think I will try to drive home from work today....

Things are reaaaally picking up at work.
I have lots to do hence the lack of blogging this past week! (Sorry to my loyal reader, Ria).
:)
I'm excited about the new project I got because it's like...my own!
After the April 1 deadline, I'll be smooth sailing. But for now, it's just crunch time everyday.

Tea time.

Love y'all.
