Crazy Cyber Lady and UFOs

Sorry I havent written in a while. I kind of suck at this. Last week I got into an argument with the cyber cafe lady and walked out... so I couldnt use the computers. Unfortunately my computer is very much on the fritz _ I hope a new keyboard will fix that. For now, Im on a french keyboard... but its a benin keyboard so its raggidy and the buttons arent where they say they are. Theres pieces of tape on the buttons from probably 10 years ago denoting what buttons have moved where. Awesome.
This post is for D
I went on tech visit 2 weeks ago and I swear I swear I saw a UFO. It was a huge green light in the sky that was under the clouds because it reflected off of them. And it was faster than a helicopter or a plane and then it disappeared! And no I wasnt drnking. My friend I was with and I just stopped walking and stared at it.
And it wasnt a light shinging into the sky because I was in a village of a couple hundred people and they just dont have that technology there.
So you were right D, the aliens came to Africa.

Maybe thats why the cyber cafe lady was so mean. Shes an alien and she knows Im onto them!!

Leaving tomorrow at 6am for my 15 hour drive (to stay a day and a half and take another 15 hr drive back) on half paved roads to see my post! Here I come Kalale! Get ready.

A couple other things

1. Send me awesome stickers! (Like Packers! And FSU! It's for my moto helmet!)
2. I went to a bible study tonight and the subject was something very pertinant to what I was struggling with -- only because I was sick, so I was in town. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways.

What I do in a day

Well, today I'm sick and at the PC med unit waiting for blood work to come back and say I have a very minor case of food poisoning. But, I'll take this time to tell you all what I do in a day (a day that I don't get shuttled back to the med unit an hour away).
6:30 - Wake up, get tangled in my mosquito net, get dressed
7:00 - Go downstairs and have breakfast
7:20 - Hail a moto/take my bike with Alex and Molly to school
8:00-17:30 - School. Usually lots of language and technical classes. (Lunch break is 12:30-1:30)
17:30 - Bike/Zemi home
18:00 - Go home and watch my mom prepare dinner
19:00 - Have dinner with just my host papa
19:30-20:30 - Boil water/Do homework/Clean
20:30-22:00 - Hang out with my friend Alex at his house or mine and just rehash the day
22:00 - Shower and go to sleep!

And that's my normal days until I go to Post in 6 weeks!
I find out where my post is on Friday! I was supposed to have an interview about it today... but I'm at the med unit. So I'm trusting God will give me the post I'm meant to have.

Someone new dropped... but we got someone added. So our number is 59 now. We've had two of out originals drop (a health and an environment vol) - but we gained an extra teacher.
