How to Enjoy April

April is a month in between March and May. It's a month which sometimes introduces spring and other times prolongs the misery of winter. The month of April proved to be close to angelic; fine weather and lots of sun.

The beginning of April started out with what...April Fools Day. Well, no jokes befell me or my friends. The day after April 2, proved to be my sister's birthday, also the day which I took my end of term school exams. April 3, was my sister's birthday party (a grand affair during went against all my principles and wore a pink shirt which a friend had to lend to me). April 4, we were in a Easter concert for which I played the guitar and participated in 3 different songs. April 5, end of school term meaning I quickly broke out the English music and gleefully shoved my schoolbooks on my bookcase with ever intention of forgetting everything. April 6, paperwork came though and I finally got my visa to stay in France. Not a bad 9 month wait (they lost my file) and now I'm perfectly legal. April 7, cleaned my room, did my laundry and mopped my floor and watching other students play cricket.

April 8, jumped on a plane with my sister for Zambia, a mere 20 hour trip door to door with no time change at all. April 9, arrived in Zambia to spent Easter with my family there missing the church service but making some little boys very happy with presents. April 10, took off for Livingstone to see Victoria Falls. Completely and totally awesome trip and I've never seen anything as awesome as that in my life! April 12, we packed up the Land Cruiser and headed over to Zimbabwe to see their view of the Falls and a few CRS projects as well. April 14, arrived back in Lusaka Zambia and spent the following week resting around our house there. Swimming, pizza parties, church, visiting my folks friends, going to the movies, watching movies at home (but living without Internet) ...that's what it means to take a holiday!

April 22, departure from Lusaka for South Africa. Stayed in Jo'berg long enough to drink a coffee (I think that means I've been to 23 countries but I can't rightly remember). April 23, arrived back in Paris, missing the first 3 classes but slipped right back into schedule without jet-leg or extreme fatigue.

And the last week of April was spent on homework, a few card games, sorting out plane tickets and trying very hard to be a good student and model TCK. But who cares, I'll just go ahead and be noisy!
