I held a chameleon!

Ok, so I just came into class and my friend grabs my hand and we run through to another room where there is a chameleon! She and I had been talking about the geckos that hang around on the ceilings, how I think they're cool and how I'd never seen a real chameleon. So when someone found one outside, she made sure to bring it in and let me hold it. Cool, huh? It was such a tiny little thing, but really cool!
Today was also the performance for my African music and dance class. Yesterday was dress rehearsal in our red skirts, feathered hats and beads. Today for the performance my professor (who I get to speak French with, since he's from the Congo) wore his traditional dance costuming. It was so much fun with the class! About 9 or 10 friends from the university came to watch me, it meant so much that they would come show their support! (Even though it was kind of embarrassing, my singing eeeee a!) The guys started calling me the angel, because in the performance of the Fire dance I bring warriors back to life. Two sides of men fight and then one side dies, I come bring them back to life and we all celebrate. Fun fun :) The other dance, the Spirit dance, all the girls get speared and land on the ground. Haha, but we all have a ton of fun. Despite the embarrassment I love the class and had a blast performing!
