It's a trap ...

I got whiplash AGAIN. Seriously, it's like the second time in 3 weeks.

I got it from this:
You might say, "seriously, you got whiplash from that!? It's so fun and colorful, hence in no way dangerous" LIES. It's all a trap. Designed to hurt children (and 20 year old college students). Look out, it's always the ones you least suspect that are the most dangerous. I'm on to you rubix cubes.

Ninjas in South Africa

Since Sam yelled at me to post a new entry, here it is. 

This week is the last week of class for my junior year of college. As of right now, I have only 3 classes left. This morning, I had my last 1130 class, my South African Reading Seminar, so our Professor, Poppy Fry, (yes Poppy is her real first name -- it's awesome) decided to make it a fun class.

She made a bunch of South African foods for us to try. Umfani which was like spinach with salt and peanuts that was supposed to go with the Samps and Beans which was a thick corn and bean kind of thing, Chakalaka was vegetables seasoned with curry I think (I'm not sure, I didn't eat them) and Bobotani which is like a South African Meatloaf, but not that kind of MeatLoaf. It was all pretty good. And to go with all the food, she made Rooibos Tea which tasted like the tea from the Kowloon or other Chinese Food Restaurants, it was really good. I'm gonna try to look into where i can buy some.

We also got a brief lesson in the Xhosa Language. (That African clicking Language) It was really cool. She stressed that every letter is pronounced by itself, not like in english where you put together "th" and "ph" because in Xhosa, "Usipho" and "Usifo" are not pronounced the same. Because "Usipho" means gift and "Usifo" means disease. 

My favorite word in Xhosa is by far "Ninjani" which means "how are you" if you're addressing more than one person. It's my favorite word because "ninja" is sleathly hiding in the word.

Oh yeah, so something substantial did happen this past week. Thursday night, Third Eye Blind did a concert at Saint A's. I didn't go, I didn't feel like it. Instead I went to the Key Fire we had the night. After the concert everyone came down to the fire, we easily had over 300 people there it was awesome. The best part was that, at about 1 AM, guess who also showed up to the fire .... THIRD EYE BLIND. So yeah, the Keys are pretty much legendary now. It was awesome.

Whiplash

I think I have whiplash but I have no idea how or why. Very weird, but I still can't turn my neck

"Ok, we're good"

I had my SBA Leader interview on Tuesday, I think it went pretty well. I find out after Easter what happens with that.
I had my Re-Member phone interview today. It lasted 5 minutes, there may have been 6 questions. And the guy ended it with, "Ok, so yeah I think we're good" Umm, ok. Bye

Who would win?

Yesterday I was watching TV with my roommates and a promo for this show on Spike TV came on called "Deadliest Warrior." I'm not completely sure what it's about, but I hope it has different warriors fight. Because I truly want to know, who would win in a fight: Samurai or Gladiator? Ninja or Viking? Spartan or Roman?
