Sudoku

Interesting how fast this little game can take over your life. Well...maybe I won’t go quite that far but it definitely is occupying a lot of my time!!
If you don’t know what it is go look it up! It’s sort of numbers-puzzle/mind-game thing...
I first tried one of these games at Vera’s house on Tuesday. I had a bit of a break while we were waiting for another student to show up. Vera was teaching one theory so I thought I would entertain myself by reading the magazine that was on the table. Unfortunately it was in Afrikaans so it wasn’t too entertaining. But wait! There at the back! It was a sudoku puzzle!
I tried a bit of it and I think I got a bit of the numbers in but then the student showed up and I had to stop.
That night I printed a couple of puzzles off the internet and did one before bed. I couldn’t believe how fast the time went by when I was struggling with one of those! I did another on Wednesday and decided to but a book of them yesterday morning. Unfortunately the only ones I could find were in German but I guess it doesn’t really matter...not when you’re just looking at numbers. Some of the books had playing tips and stuff in them though, which would be nice to read (since I don’t really know the best way to start these things)
I figured it would be good for the super long plane rides!

I also found some locks for my luggage yesterday. It wasn’t until I got home and tried them on the zippers that I realized my one suitcase already had a lock on it! The keys are still attached too! Hahaha...I guess that’s what happens when you buy a brand new suitcase and don’t really look it over too much before you pack.

I’m almost finished present shopping too. There’s still one more thing I want to get for Mrs.Venter but everyone else I was planning on getting stuff for is done! YAY!

I went back to Vera’s yesterday for the last time to work with her kiddies. They all showed up, some with their moms in tow, to play for each other. Both Vera and I commented on their performances after. I think it’s pretty good experience for them – just to get them playing in front of people before their exams. (I know I used to always be SO nervous!)

Today I don’t have too much on my plate. If I get a hold of Tiro I might start braiding my hair today! Yay!
I’m heading out to MYO this afternoon to watch Pam’s music class. They have a performance in November and she’s opening with Adiemus. (She’s getting the grade 4’s and 5’s to do choreography with scarves!! Sound familiar? Hahaha) Lex, Ellen and I helped out her come up with the movement a bit!

Alrighty..I’m off! One week and counting! CRAZY!
