Bugs

So i had a little extra time on my hands so i decided to post again. I haven't travelled yet, but i'm going up to a waterfall tommorrow so i'll be sure to write about it : ). Now you guys know that although i don't run and scream when there are bugs, i don't take a general liking to them. have no compassion for them and unlike some of my friends i will be more likely to kill a bug then put it on a piece of paper and set it outside. Which is why last Tuesday was such a problem....

Imagine the hottest indian summer day in Maryland and that is what it feels like all the time here. So imagine my surprise when it rained during one of y classes. Not just a little bit of rain, but a torrential (i know i can't spell...) downpour. It was enough wind and rain that a window pain fell into the room and water was blowing in. I was really excited cause the rain brought about cool weather....LIke cool enough that I slept under my sheet for the first time in two months.

The next night was bug night. Apparently every time it rains, flying termites come out and look for a queen mother (i don't know how true that is). This meant that these bugs flew to everywhere where there was light. I'm not talking about a couple bugs or even what we experienced with cicadas. I'm talking like biblical locust amounts. Enough so that the floors were covered with wings and bugs that had lost their wings. The bugs were everywhere. in our showers all over our sinks on the floors. The more common areas, you couldn't step anywhere without getting at least 20 dead bugs undreneath your feet. I felt like i was in a bad dream. I live in a sweet so we have a common room. When we closed the doors, these bugs still managed to crawl underneath our doors. The ones outside would beat against your window if your light was on. It was disgusting because there were so many that there was an audible beating on the windows. It was horrific.

So I just tell you this story so that next time you see a bug you will realize that it's not quite that bad... ; )
