Spirit of Ughanda
Hey Guys!
Okay, so I know I said that I would post on Monday at the latest and now it is Friday, but all I can say is that I am a very bad procrastinator. Sorry! =)
So, anyways Sunday was so much fun! My roommates and I went to one of our I-Pod events with our I-Pod directors to Portland to see The Spirit of Uganda. It was this African singing and dancing extravaganza and it was so awesome. The performers were like from the ages of 5th grade to first year at Universities. But, they moved so fast and it was just really cool! I could not believe they were so young! Plus, the singing was amazing and the commentator was so funny! It was at the Merrill Theater and I had never really Portland before, so it was kind of cool to see that area. Don’t be like me; definitely check out Portland, it is so cute!! We also went out to dinner before at this Ethiopian restaurant. We had this communal meal that was like a huge piece of this spongy bread and then like these potatoes and sauces and salad. And you picked everything up with the bread. I loved it, because I love trying new food. I think that food is such a big part of the culture of a place, so like when you try new food you really get to know the culture better. Plus, on Sunday the weather was like so warm and sunny and beautiful! Overall, it was just a really awesome afternoon!
Then this week became a little busier. I have had lots of papers and tests to turn in, plus work every night! Then one night (I think Tuesday) I went to my friend’s ceramics class with her at Westbrook College in Portland. It was interesting, and I got to mess around in the clay. But, afterwards we ended up getting dinner, then spending an hour in borders, then spending another hour in Wal-Mart. And in Wal-Mart I found Sweeny Todd, so since that is such an awesome movie, I bought that. So, we ended up going back to her suit and watching that. Which means I did not sleep till like 2am! And the next night was a 1am night, because I went out to dinner with part of one of my clubs and then last night was the weekly riding night at Aubrey’s horse’s barn. So, in conclusion, I am so tired!
But, no sleep for me! Tonight is the 33rd annual Variety Show (like a talent show) and it is a huge deal! I am so excited and cannot wait to check it out! So, I’ll post about that and hopefully have pictures, like maybe Sunday at the latest.
I am actually really sorry that I do not post more often or about more interesting things. But, hopefully you’ll like all the goofy variety show pics!
Seeya later!
