So.... I lost Norm. Yea- awkward. I ended up losing him in Cape Town last semester when my bag got stolen while dancing. Lame! I know. Along with Norm I also lost my Id, debit card, and pipe. Plus my super sweet bag that I had bought for about five bucks at a sunday market in Durban. All around it was just an evening of losses. However, the music was boss and I was dancin' up a storm, so it wasn't too bad. I was also able to easily transfer money to a friends's account and order a new Id when I got home. All though let me tell you, I look like a mentally challenged person in my new picture. Of course, the woman at the DMV easily could have taken another- However, being a woman working at the DMV she choose instead to say, "oh, that's nice" and mention nothing of my half opened eyes and awkward smile. Thanks. However, back to the point. Yes, Norm is lost and alone somewhere in South Africa. I have hope though that his abductors are simply kind people who have a bad habit of taking a five finger discount. I believe that Norm's innate amiability and popularity with the ladies is sure to make him new friends and that he is simply on his own adventure now. That being said, he is being replaced with Norm2. Thanks to Barnes and Noble this gapping black hole in my heart over his loss can easily be filled for about $5.99. Yay for America.
So, now Norm2 will be joining me on my next adventure where I will be a Roadie for Invisible Children! Hizzah! I am pretty fricken' stoked for this, and didn't even realize how competitive the position was until my last application interview with them. Any-who. I feel extremely honored and excited for what lays ahead. As such I will be traveling with my three other teammates, two of whom I've met and seem absolutely AWESOME, across NorCal to promote the cause of awareness and action for the children abducted by Joseph Kony in Northern Uganda and the Congo. While, I know that my last attempt at blogging kind of failed half way through the semester in South Africa, attempt number two is a GO.
