Watch your step!

So my worst nightmare came true...I fell into a gutter!! Ok, that's a bit of a overstatement but falling in the gutter was one of the things that I was paranoid of happening and I'm so clumsy that I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later...I was just hoping it was later, or never for that matter!

I guess there were two things that caused this event, 1) it was dark out and 2) I was too busy talking and not paying attention to where I was walking! I went out for night stroll with one of the mentors and on our way back to they YMCA we went on a "short cut" which resulted in my right foot in the gutter! Daniel was soooo apologetic and felt so bad....I just felt totally embarrassed!!! On the bright side I'm glad it was dark out and no one saw me make a fool of myself. I'm also glad that this particular gutter was relatively "clean" compared to some of them! There was only a few inches of gutter sludge instead of it being knee deep, so that I'm grateful for! I have a few cuts here and there and my jeans got dirty to say the least!.. Hopefully no fungus starts to grow from the nasty sewer water but other than that, I’m ok!! oh and a slightly bruised ego of course! But I came home and washed up in Steph and Kelly’s room and we had a good laugh which made me feel slightly better!!

On a brighter note, Sunday turned out to be a great day! It started off not so good but the evening was a blast! Of course there was worship in the morning but we snuck into the YMCA office and did some work/used the internet! The we went out for an early lunch and by the time we got back worship was finished but then there was a bus load of people that pulled in about half an hour later, not sure what it was about exactly but they didn’t stay long, thank god! Freddy (our amazing dance/drum instructor) came around 3:30ish with a few of the Mentors, Teddy and Eunice, who were equipped with stereo and drums for lessons! It was so amazing! Drumming is the best and I can actually hold the rhythm (probably thanks to countless hours playing rock band drums!) After drum lessons Jenna and I learned the rest of the dance moves to the dance we had started a few weeks ago. A great weekend is one in which you dance Friday, Saturday AND Sunday, which has been the case for the past 2 weekends!! I have pleanty of pics to upload but I’m so afraid to put my new memory card into my computer so it’ll have to wait unfortunately. 

Hope everyone is getting to the Christmas spirit! I'm not so much, at all actually. It's hard to remember that it's Christmas season when it's so hot hot out...which, I think I'm totally fine with!
