This morning I finally made it to breakfast! We had class today and the debate was on the death penalty. We watched a movie about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and I was able to catch up on all of my current homework, although I still have been able to start on my papers. I plan to start tonight, but I'm not feeling very well now. Ginny had to go home today. She wasn't getting better and everyone feared the worst, so Dr. Skon drove her to Belize City to get on the airplane. I feel so bad for her to have to leave after she's waited so long to come here. I know how upset she is about missing the experience. I hope that she makes it home safely to a hospital that can care for her appropriately.
A few of the students went to the Catholic school today where they finished setting up the computer lab. We stayed here and I spent almost all of my time with the Belizeans school girls. I let them play with my camera for a while and they took many pictures of us. They begged me to play duck duck goose, but it ended up in being a dog-pile on me. I had at least 8 little girls on top of me as I laid on the ground, helpless. It was fun at first, but then I really started hurting because there were so many of them and they were so rough! I was glad that Cassie unknowingly sacrificed herself as I ran for cover. The little girls are so cute, they always want to hold my hand or hug me. Then, the little boys found a tarantula, which of course they scared all of the American girls with. I hid in the dorm until they finally killed it. Supper was really good tonight, we had noodles and mashed potatoes. I took a lovely shower, we cleaned the bathroom, and now a few of us are doing laundry.
