First of all happy Dozinky to everyone back in New Prague! I wish that I could have been there today!
It was nice being able to lazily get out of bed this morning without worrying about how many times I hit snooze, or how loud I played my music because I still had the apartment to myself! When I finally crawled out of bed, I started my day by cleaning my room and organizing my messy closet! I refolded clothes and made room for everything that I have stored away! When I was done, I began a long day of homework. I was very productive today in writing two papers, completed the reading and notes for class on Tuesday. I prepared a debate and by the time I was just about to be finished, the roomies came home…perfect distraction to listen about their night and mini-vacation. The rest of the afternoon was passed by blog posting, picture updating, and email answering.
Around 5:00 I started getting ready because we al dressed up to go to the PE opera house to see Soweto Gospel Choir. It was absolutely amazing! The choir raises money for AIDS patients and AIDS awareness and they were such a joy to watch! Their costumes were bright African colors with beading, head pieces, and beautiful designs. They played the drums and danced traditional dresses and their voices were so crisp and clean and so beautiful! At intermission I went to buy a CD and I have been listening to it since I have gotten home! Most of the songs were in Zulu, but they did perform a few in English. In either case it was still amazing experience and I had goosebumps the entire time. What was very cool was watching the people in the audience get up and dance and clap their hands and they would really get into the music. Plus our seats were great…fourth row! It was one of the best experiences yet in Africa!
