I'm updating a little earlier than usual today because I'm not feeling well. :( I left work early so I can go home and try and rest it off. The huge goodbye dinner for everyone who is leaving in the next few days is tonight so I don't want to miss it!
On a different note...it has finally happened. We all knew it was coming. And come it did. The cockroach encounter. First off, the cockroaches here are a bit larger than in the U.S...So squishing them provides optimum disgusting results. Deanna and I had 3 in our bathroom at two different times yesterday. Nicole killed the first one yesterday morning, after failing a few times, getting it stuck in our wardrobe, and chasing it out with mosquito spray. None of us wanted to pick it up, so I promised to buy Nick a beer if he threw it away. Success.
But then later that night, there were another two when we got home. I went into the bathroom and shut the door, and somehow in that one second it took for me to close the bathroom door, I unintentionally managed to trap the cockroach halfway in the crack of the door. It's head was sticking out toward Deanna and its butt was still stuck toward me and it was trying to wiggle out. Sick. We got Harry this time, and timing it perfectly, I opened the door and Harry killed our second victim. The third one was too high on the wall, so I threw some paper at it until it crawled out of the bathroom window. Needless to say,I dreamt about bugs all last night.
Monday was my first day in counseling...and I got lucky and invited myself to a seminar that the counselors were attending at the Ministry for Women and Children's Affairs. I got to attend a lecture about basic HIV/AIDS knowledge and why it is good to attend voluntary testing and counseling. Afterwards, the counselors held a voluntary counseling and testing session that I got to sit in on which was really interesting. I was lucky that I actually got to participate in something since Counseling Unit is the most difficult to work with.
Tuesday I was back in Counseling Unit and I was not so lucky. I made a powerpoint and entered some data, but that was it. Mainly I read Dexter. Last night was my last Projects Abroad quiz night...and although Harry had promised me numerous times that I could be on his team, when the time actually came, he broke his promises and therefore broke our friendship as well. My team tied with his though...and we both tied on the tie breaker...but his team won on the second tie breaker, unfortunately. Maybe someday I'll forgive him. I didn't go out with the others after Quiz because I was feeling quite tired.
Today I'm still feeling really tired and feel a little sick so I hope I haven't caught anything. I'm going to go attempt to sleep it off now, though. Hope everyone else is well!
