It's raining AGAIN! Day in day out... Well, at least I'm home and not out like on Friday.

It's been quite a week, being out everyday, running errands like reformatting my laptop and fixing my phone.

There's been a nagging problem with my keypad for some time. Can't seem to press the buttons '1' and '9' properly - according to them, keypad is insensitive. And when I went to collect my phone, i thought the conversation the staff and I had was quite dumb.

The staff told me that they had to 'resolder' something back on. And so I asked, 'what?'. They couldn't answer me. Just that it was something. When I asked her what was wrong, she just kinda gave me a dumbfounded look. Oh wells... not expecting her to rattle on the super technical part, but I thought she could at least tell me what could have caused the problem. Nah.. just they they had to resolder something back on. Insightful.

People are leaving/have left for exchange. Me, still hanging around. It's another 8 and a half weeks before I fly. Not long ago, it was 11. it's kinda scary how time passes by so quickly. On another note, I bought this language thinge where I'm supposed to learn German in 30 days. Hope I can speak some decent German by the time I get over.

Anyway, my weeks are quite occupied. Wed and Thurs mornings, I go down to RDA to do my CIP. Basically, it's watching out for disabled kids who are attending the riding lessons. Somehow, my heart aches at the thought of them - being unable to support themselves, comprehend instructions. Like a fellow volunteer said of one kid, it went along the lines of 'There is nothing wrong with his brain, when I look at him in the eyes, I can see a connection. It's just that he is unable to articulate or command his body to do certain things'

I hope they will all make it and overcome their disabilities cause I've also seen how riders who have attended more than 1 term be able to follow instructions and articulate what they want.

But since it's bene raining, the arena where they have they lessons are quite muddy. Yeah... so I've got muddy shoes now. Hope it stops raining soon.
