jackfruit = fruit snacks

- maria (one of the babies) is now my friend. she smiles real cute when she sees me and i can see her two teeth. i've held her and she cries no more! unless she is given a bath. then she cries alot. mercy still doesn't like me, nor baths.

- my eyeball started being real stubborn. it was all itchy. so i rubbed it to settle it down. that made things worse. so i looked in the mirror and there was a big, bright, red, swollen, veiny, muscular thing that was way bigger than its counterpart in my other eyeball. it bothered me to open and close my eye. so i closed my eyes for a few hours. and when i woke up in the morning it was all better.

- my poor roommate and brother, martin, has malaria. i give him some of my medicines. he's real snotty and coughy (not coffee).

- my african traditional religions professor acted out the Anglican Eucharist complete with robes, wafers, and real wine at 10 am. he drank that wine too.

- dennis and tony are officially my good friends. we eat together and hang out daily and thats makes us friends. officially.

- i've now had jackfruit the last 2 evenings when i get home. it's like eating fruitsnacks i love it.

- then after jackfruit, the last 2 nights i've watched a lizard chase moths and hornets around the ceiling. its fun. i hope he gets them. he never does. then my neck hurts.

- i think God is teaching me a lesson in patience.
