dealing with monkeys on campus

This is definetly a TIA (This is Africa) moment. We got an e-mail on this. It was my amusement for the day.

Though it does make complete sense considering the campus is on a nature reserve.

Accent

I don’t think a day goes by that someone asks me where I’m from because of my American accent. I was talking to a girl I know from Nambia and one of the girls with her told me that she had seen me on the mini-bus before. She told me that they had been laughing on the bus at my ‘accent’ because they thought that I was a South African trying to have a Black-American accent. She said specificully a South African from Jo-berg. I had to laugh because it’s just crazy all the pre-judgements we all make and don’t even know someone. I didn’t take what she told me personally, it just reminded me of how many times I’ve also probably done the same thing. As for the acent thing? I guess I have to accept that I'm in another country and that realistically I do have an accent to them. Oh well c’est la vie :]

Also, I just realized how hard it actually is to keep a blog up. Especially since there is so much I always want to say, but I seem to have to condense it. Anyways I went to Cape Town for 9 days for the Spring Break. I will blog on it and post some pictures later in the week.
