I have been stuck at home by myself a lot, so nothing big is happening. I dog sat for awhile. I was about to beg my friend to take it back home, but I didn't have to. She just took it. I felt bad for the dog because my friend is house sitting for its owners and the dog was home alone for about a month. So when I saw the dog, I asked if I could take it for awhile. I didn't realize how hyper and non-potty trained it was. It has these huge claws and jumps on everyone. It attacked both my cat and dog and it peed ALL over my house. And yet, I still feel bad for that little thing. There were 3 dogs at the house. The one I took was the indoor dog. One of the outdoor dogs knocked his bowl over and it was 105 F outside and it died :( It was really sad. The other dog was ok but she looked in such bad shape. The people had not groomed her in a looong time and she is the kind of dog who has lots and lots of hair. Another one of our friends groomed the poor pup and now she looks so cute! She was infested with tics. That dog is at the friends house who groomed her. She, unlike the indoor dog, is well behaved and doesn't pee all over. I can't understand why she isn't an indoor one as well. I would take that one if I could!
On a different front. I leave home in less then 2 weeks. I'll be on the road and headed towards a new start. I'm growing up and it doesn't seem real. I am so not ready. There are still a lot of things that need to be done and I'm just sitting here frozen. I don't want to do any of it. I just want to be there. I want to see some of my South Africa people again. There going to be at the internship with me!
Oh! I have been thinking about going to Botswana next year. I found out that there are a ton of people that went to South Africa with me that are thinking the same. It would be so awesome if a bunch of us were on the same trip next summer. The other areas I'm thinking about going are New Zealand, Peru and Thailand. I love Africa though. I can't seem to get away from it. But nothing is in stone yet.
Dum de dum. I'm thinking if there is anything else I want to write about.
My best friend got accepted into the internship!!! YAY! That means I don't have to drive across the country by myself! It also means I'm not going into a completely different setting by myself!
I don't know if I will be able to update when I go there. I will try but not promises. I wont have my computer and I don't know what he net situation is like there. I know I will have email, but other then that, I don't know.
Oh, my team that went to Africa has a website now. I'll give you the link if you want it. There are some pix on it. I have been trying to get mine up on the net but AOL is not letting upload pix onto the "You've Got Pictures" thing. Ummm...yeah, and I can't find another website to put them on.
Well, I'm going to go mess with my template now and see if I want to change it. God bless you all!
