T minus 5 days!

Alright, so I leave on tuesday, and its thursday. HOLY F. Time went by way too fast. I think that if I wasn't going to europe, I'd definitely have to stay longer in africa. I want to see mozambique rwanda. I'm going to have to come back, possibly next summer, or for clinical in 4th year.

WEMA
The day before yesterday we had to tell this man that he was HIV positive, it was really sad, but definitely a good experience. He took it fairly well, and I told him to make sure his wife and children come in for testing. Hopefully they aren't positive as well.
Yesterday at WEMA, we were hanging out with these kids, they come and sit with us like everyday. We found out that both of their parents died of AIDS and they live with their aunt and uncle. There is 5 of them, 12 year old twins (one is named nelson mandela lol) a ten year old named mikey, a 4 year old girl beatrice and a little 1.5 year old named barack obama lol. They are the sweetest kids I've met. Most kids here beg, and constantly ask for candy. These kids are soo quiet and they just wanted to hang out. So Linn and I took them for sodas and chips (healthy, i know) and they were sooo happy, but so reluctant to take anything. The 2 older twins ate hardly anything so that the younger ones would have more. Linn and I just kept buying them food until they couldn't eat anymore. Mikey's shoes are soo tattered that they are like hanging together by a thread, I'm going to buy him some new ones today. I feel bad not buying anything for the others but their shoes are in good shape .. maybe i'll give them some school supplies. Anyway, tomorrow is my last day volunteering, we are going out for margaritas again on friday and then its time for SWEDEN!

Last night we went out for margaritas, and no one believed me when I said I don't get brain freezes. So they we're all "drink that fast you'll get one" . I didn't get a brain freeze, but I was gone by 9 oclock lol. At some point I went to take a drink from my straw, missed my mouth, and it hit my forehead, so now I have this straw shaped wound on my forehead. nice life.
