The Census

So, Monday morning I came to school to find a note written on our staff white board saying that this past weekend the president had declared a national holiday for Tuesday in order to take the census. So, Tuesday we had no school and people all over the nation were supposed to all stay home so that when the census people came by your house they could ask them a bunch of questions. Only in Africa would something like this happen. Is that really the most efficient way to take a census? Sounds funny to me, but hey, what do I care. I got the day off of school!

I got to catch up on stuff, relax, and workout. Working out kicked my butt big time. I didn't think that the change in elevation would make it that much more difficult. But, it sure did because I was hardly able to run very far and I didn't last very long. I mean, I'm not in the best shape, but in the States I can run longer than what I did yesterday. So sad! I'll just have to keep working at it.

My roommate, Jen and I, got a car this past weekend! Yay! It's a Toyota Vitz. It's a very small car, but great for driving around here. We got a good deal for it and we're pleased with it. Plus, it's just SUPER nice to have a way to get around without having to rely on everyone else. I'll add a picture of it later.

Ok, well, I have to get back to work now. Thanks for reading!
