Columbe Columbe Columbe

Well our first day back to normal school life and we are sent to the library to learn how to play the Jembe drum ! It was so intresting we learned loads of calls and responses beats and about the drum and how its totally different to the Bongo ! although the Jembe isnt very well known in our part of the world ! apparently it is very popular in Africa and it is a big part of their culture ! :O it was a really intresting day :) and was a bit of class bonding time aswell ! :)

What a disappointment !

Well last week T.Y.s were on their work experience. I was so excited to go to the local vet down the village as I have wanted to be a vet so badly ! since I was younger . I was so shocked at the experience .. ! they were not welcoming atall and had nothing for me to do ! I observed surgeries which was so intresting but I was left to do nothing but mop the floors for the rest of the day ! They were really badly organised and I didnt like how they treated me atall ! I would not recommend anyone to go their ever .. ! I didnt really learn anything about myself either because I've always wanted a career in veterinary and with the experience I had it just left me feeling muddled and confused about my future career :(
