weel...these last 2 weeks have been a very emotional time coz my best friend got appendicitis and I had to take her 2 a million diffrent hospitals til we could get her treated. I grew up a lot that day coz I had to be so responsible. It was a matter of life and death and they said if we’d taken one more hour to get her 2 the hospital, her appendix would’ve burst and she would’ve died.
I learnt so much about my friends and about myself and about the Sudanese health system (which isn’t good). It woz jus me, my friend's boyfriend and his best friend and I saw so much strength from my friend who was smiling all the time despite the pain, and her boyfriend was so so kind and caring and I only then did I realize how much he loves her. And my respect for his best friend grew, he was driving us to all the different hospitals and he didn’t leave until he was sure we were all safe. It was such a crazy, surreal day and one that I’ll never ever forget.
& nbsp; I have had to grow up a lot during these last 3 months in uni. I feel like im a representative of so many things and I always wana make a good impression. Iv calmed down a lot, I don’t do as many crazy things any more coz reputation and respect are very very important in this country and I always have to maintain them. That means no drugs or drink and I feel its good for me this way. I do pine for Kendal sometimes but I never regret my decision to come here coz im learning so much more than just the things that are in the books, im understanding people and my country and that’s what I came to do.
