I was freshly invigorated by my toothpaste this morning. It was chilly last night but It will be will be hot again today and again I will sweat. Today I am going to bring my back pack so I dont have to carry as much stuff around. It is 741 here right now and mostly every one has gotten up as we will be leaving here in 40 minutes this is good. Ouma just dropped by with hair dryers for the girls She was taking her little boy to school. It was invigorating. Erika took a complete shower without getting her hair wet. As the shower heads here are about 8 feet high Im not sure how this task was accomplished. Today we are going to be going to the campus for a short lecture or a long lecture, Ill let you know its real and percieved duration in a later post. After that we will be having lunch on our own and then heading to the district six museum. I think it will be a good time as I do much enjoy historical perspective museums more then other types. Im not sure about Erika though. Matt managed to almost get up today without being cranky, it hasnt fully been decided as he hasnt actually made it out of bed yet. I was having trouble sleeping last night, but today I feel good.

I have decided that I havent fully committed myself to this trip yet as I am still very concious about things everything I have not yet been able to relax enough to experience all the things I want to fully. I know this because I still am thinkginga bout being at home in minneapolis, hanign out with friends and doing things that are more normal to me. I know that this sounds normal but during past travels I have not had these feelings. I would imagine that this is also caused by anxiety about future experiences. I am a bit home sick but not in the traditional sense, I miss stupid things about my house, the ability to be at home doing the same things I do here is somehow different.

The showers here are suprisingly effective, unlike houses I have lived in you can not only have 2 or 3 showers running at once, but the hot water lasts through 10 peoples showers, and the water pressure does not go down when other water faucets are turned on. The stairs in this house are deffinately a side thought or after thought as they kinda go through the middle of the room. I will try to post a video of our house and a little bit of the neighbor hood around our house. I havent posted any video yet I apologize I have been having difficulty charging my video camera as we are sharing only a few power converters, also it is not that easy to transfer the videos to my computer. I will try to post them today.

I havent yet been able to sit down seriously and write in my private journal. My Blog has been comming first to a lot of things which I am not sure how I feel about yet. As my journaling tends to be more private and much more free spirited then this public blog many things would be different, however I feel like it is important for me to let others know what is going on. I may start putting off my blog once in a while to start writing in my journal, however, Dave thinks it was cold too, so does Matt, Ouma's boy was very cute, heading to school. I still like to blog. Dave had no troubles finding the bowls today, morning routines are improving here and moods have lifted since yesterday morning. It is apparent that we have bonded more as a group and are getting more comfortable with each others habits and personalities. It will be difficult for me to get enough alone time here. Autonomy is a very strong value for me and my days usually need to consist of several hours of being responsible only to myself to do things that I want to do and get done, here however we are programed 10 hours day, spend 5 hours a day hanging out eating blogging, and then share rooms, I dont think other than late last night about 200 am I have had one minute just to myself, there is always someone around, Its only day to and this is already wearing on me, however I think at this point it is just a concern and not a problem, something that I am woried about possibly much more then will ever damage me. We are discussing a cd game we are playing, Dave made the cds and has the answer key and is mumbling down the stairs about it, I absolutely have no idea what he is saying to us, and I think he thinks we know that we dont know what he said. We picked 2 songs for a cd contemplative, and motivational I dont remember which two songs I picked or which one of my songs is on the Cd, that date was like 5 monthes ago of picking those songs, there is no way I remeber, I have too many favorite songs to do that. Matts finally up at 805 he likes my blues tune, he looks more tired than others still, he has alot on his mind still I tnk. Emily can decide what kind of dish she wants from the cupboard, but chooses nothing, People are woried about their batteries for their camera charging. I am in the living room now but am going to move to the more energetic kitchen to eaves drop on people. brb. Im back Matt misses his guitar more than anything, I hope his girlfriend or mom does not read my blog, but the truth must come out. Matt is also whacking people in the face with a power cord. I am going to get finished getting, everyone is going to bring backpacks today as yesterday we didnt and didnt have appropriate items for the day, or were carrying them around by hand, ready to go out for the day as it is almost time to go and all I havve been doing is blogging, no private journaling, or getting ready. Mykayla has been hurring to get ready to go running past me in the living room several times, i believe she is trying to dry her hair. I plan on trying to not sweat as much today as well but who knows. I am ready to experience the day now and am feeling a bit more commmitted to the journey right now.
