Antiguan Randomness

Well, this is just a quick update on how things are going here.

1. I finally found a tarantula (the biggest, hairiest thing I've ever seen) and actually touched it, but did not catch it to bring home (sorry Alpha).
2. I did get heatstroke but am over it now
3. The reason I am over it is because I decided to pay the extra $200 and get an airconditioned room
4. There are 2 other christians here and one of them has a car and wants to drive to church with me. Yayyyyy!!!
5. The walls between our rooms are so thin I can hear my housemate listen to his ipod, plug in his computer, go pee and get into bed. (and his cellphone ringing at 2:30 in the morning)
6. I was showing off for the class the other day with my little 'I can drop a lightbulb and not break it' trick, and the lightbulb actually broke.
7. I started my running again at 6:30 this morning
8. We have no hot water, but we do finally have electricity, so I'm not complaining.
9. I am officially living in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

lots of love Heather

I have never seen your light bulb trick, how does it go?

Heather Mercer said...

Well.... you drop the bulb, that's all. Because the center of weight is at the metal part, it will always fall right side up and bounce a couple of times, but not shatter. Unfortunately the filaments inside it broke.
