I am not exactly sure where time is going, but it is already January 15th and one of my New Years resolutions was to post on my blog once a week. I guess I am a little slow on starting that up.
My top excitement for this week was finding a new creature in our house. One night a few of us were out in the kitchen starting to get dinner ready, when Ali came running out of her room yelling....AHHHH....AHHHH....THERE IS A SNAKE in my room. All of us looked at her a bit funny, but decided we better go check it out. We all walk in her room and sure enough there is about a 3ft long snake, but thankfully it was fairly skinny. I am not a big fan of snakes and had no idea how we were going to go about getting the snake out of our house. We decided to call on our trusty Masai guards, who I think are getting use to our calls for help for all of our lovely creatures. Three of them come into our house and back into Ali's bedroom, probably not really sure what they were getting themselves into. I am pretty sure that they were not a fan of the snake either once they saw it, because they all just kind of looked at it. One of them happened to have a stick in his hand and he decided to start beating the snake to death with the stick. It was quite the site as all of us girls stood there and watched. After he was done you could tell they really didn't want to touch it, so they tried to pick it up with the stick. It wasn't working, so we gave them a plastic bag to carry it out in. So once again our trusty guards saved us, not from big bad scary people, but from another lovely creature.
It wa for sur the most exciting part of my week. I also had Thursday off this week for Zanzibar Revolution Day. It has been nice slowly working my way back into school. This will be our first full week back. On my day off I took time to read and relax. It was great. I also went to my new favorite place to hang-out. There is a coffee shop about a 20 minute walk away from my house that is amazing. The food is good and it is just a nice place to sit and read or catch up on emails. I don't get there often, but I think I might have to start making it a once a month Saturday morning thing :)
