IT RAINED :D

anyway the most surreal thing happened to me yesterday!
i was walking along to the hospital with my iPod on,
then i glanced behind to see if i could cross the road
and i saw something really tall and red
so i looked back, thinking it was a lorry..

and then i thought, hmm that's a bit weird
so i looked behind again,
and ..



A FLIPPIN ELEPHANT WAS STARING AT ME!
he was walking next to me on a small street
wearing a giant red coat thing,
and i swear i almost died.

and then the elephant just ambled on like
these things happen everyday!
i asked around and apparently hes from the zoo
and takes walks all the time.

that was weird.


yesterday was a weird day, went to hand
out balloons to children in the hospital
which was lovely and then i went to this
school that was in the slums-
and it's nothing like what was shown
in Slumdog Millionaire!
it was very rocky and dusty and quarry-like
(this is from my imagination,
i have no idea what a real quarry looks like!)

but yeah the school was just in shambles,
it was just a brick shed and there were about 20 kids
in that one room from ages 3-9 and
i dont think they've ever been to school before,
so these kids were running amok
going crazy and screaming and crying all the time.

it was seriously so overwhelming and
we brought out puzzles and building blocks
and stuff like that but they just went
crazy over them, everyone just dove in
and fought for every piece of puzzle-
it was just madness.

and because this was just a preliminary thing,
to see whether there was a chance to help out
in this school once a week-
in my head it was a firm no.

but i thought over it and realised,
nothing's going to be easy and i can't just
say no to helping out in a place where they so
obviously need help just cause i don't like it
and it's too uncomfortable right?

):

i don't know.

nepal has its days,
sometimes i love it (when i'm at good shepherd)
and sometimes i'm hoping that i fail my exams
so i get to fly back for my resits.

it's hard, but i know that if i at least
have helped make things better just in
one person's life- it's all worth it.
(:

alright, til tomorrow!
