CaLeNdAr DaYs

This morning before school I had prayer with two ladies I've been praying with all year. We were discussing the 2012 Kenyan elections. We were saying that we'd rather not be here during that time period. One of the ladies helps to plan our school calendar. She said that during the meeting for next year's calendar they discussed whether they needed to build in riot days just in case for the upcoming voting. They decided not to build them in because the voting should take place sometime in June or July when we're not in school. She made an amusing comment. She said, "Schools back home have to build in snow days. We have to build in riot days. Oh, the joys of living in Africa." I remember growing up in Louisiana, and they built in flood days. To each his own I guess!
