Thursday lead to me going to the Botanic Gardens. The weather was pleasant and the gardens are beautiful even when covered with snow. I really enjoyed it. A special show was on display about Zimbabwe and their struggles. The statues represent different issues such as money, war, health, authority, relationships, and more. The tropical forest was also amazing besides the fact that my camera got all fogged up ha ha. I’ll bring more pictures of the garden when I come home to visit. I can’t wait for spring and the flowers to all bloom. I’ll be back there soon for sure =]
This is in the Tropical Forest.

This is "the bereavement" meaning that she was a women who repelled the forces the government put on her.
And this statue represents "soul in turmoil"

Friday was up early and had a long day at school. It was awesome. I love the school!! It’s about time right? Ha after a year and a half at school doing gen. eds. I’ve already seen huge improvements in my work and I’m super excited to be challenged by not only the teachers but my classmates. I’ve also made some great friends.

As Friday went on, I helped Rachel move into her new apartment. It was a quick and fairly easy move. She later treated me to dinner at Gunther Toody’s (which by the way is very similar to Johnny Rockets [they also have that here!] its 50’s –ish). As the night continued, we went our separate ways and I crashed as soon as I got home. I slept for ten hours and woke to work for an hour, went to a gymnastics meet, and came home feeling a bit under the weather. A nap seems very tempting…

Dinner and a movie tonight with Rachel! So I’ll write later. Take care guys and I hope everyone is well love you all!
