power

power is ạn incredible thing! especially over hêre. Without power my world stops. So the whole of thê town has been without power for 5 dáys straight and it is driving me insane. For all the games of solitare i have played, i have only noted 1, count it, 1 win without cheating. I am also developing my tan becuase i am sịck of being so pale ảound all thêse tanned people! Bridge has been sick to so i havent really had any one to talk to and i have also had to go to so many things by mýself. One day i ưould particularly like to bring up is saturday. I had two items planned ưith ms Yen - you remember hêr - but she called at about 6 am to tell me that we had to cancel them becuase thêre was a funeral she had to attend. Ok, so someone died, but hey i now have a free day to sleep. Famous last ưords. At about 9:30, one of my... teachers, invited herself into our living room, into my room and proceeded to wake me up. "Are you doing anything today?" Rêmmebering my previously mentioned phone call, "no im frêe all day" júst to double check she âgain ásked "do you do anything this afternoon?" realising that i was being rude just lieing in my bed, i disentangled myself from my sarong and mosquito net and stood standing in my pyjamas facing her. "No i am free all day" i then look down and notice that we are standing in quite a large pile oF my dirty láundry. "I ưould like to invite you to my house for lunch. You come now?" I'm awake. I am standing - sure i can come to lunch right now. Tell you what, you wait just on the other side of that door - ưould you like a drink? - and i ưill put on some cloths, eat some toothpaste for breakfast and we can go. Alice (bridge) is sick, no dont wake her. Im ready, lets go! One good thing about being ưoken up at 6 and then 9:30 and then being in a totally diferent location by 9:40 is that you are still techniqually asleep, but people take this as you have been awake for hours and you are vẻry tỉred from your hard morning ưorking, not sleeping. After lunch i was lucky to get my wish from before - sleep. The only problem now is that is more like being back at creche and "you lie down hêre. put your head here and your feet here and you sleep." Also, sleeping on a traditional bed issnt all its cracked up to be. It gets rather uncomfortable after about the first 30 seconds so you dont get much sleep...
"i worry about Alice." "You wouldnt want anymore cramped, uncomforable sleepless sleep?" "no, i worry about Alice." "I will take you home" And home came, and Alice did have a raging Temperature, but i was fed and i felt like i had done SOMETHING with my day other than loose at solitare.
So on the ưhole that ís all i have been doing ưith myself. 6Am wake up calls are common, and so ảe the 7am "can you meet me at 7:15 at staffroom for class?"
I have found pool and hopefully i will start to get better soon, and by the time i get home, i should be pro!
I ưould also like to take a moment to mention my food escapades. I can now cross off my list of "things i have eaten..." Cow stomach, Goat Intestines, Goat, Cat, Snails and Chicken head. I'm well impressed ưith my efforts and just a note - cat is hairy!
That is all i have to report at this time.
Hopefully something more interesting comes up soon!
