Wondercup Round 1 went well, much better than what we’d been expecting. It remains to be seen if we make it to Round 2, but we’re hoping.
My Physics textbook got wet on the way home. The edges of the pages are all wavy. I missed the rain - the sound, the smell, the sight of everything washed clean. On Tuesday, I was happy to walk home without an umbrella, soaked clean through to my skin within minutes. Though my textbook probably wasn’t.
It’s probably a different story elsewhere though. Last September, I read the BBC news breaking news with chills of horror - when Manila and the surrounded provinces were ravaged by floods, not once but twice, then pelted still more by heavy rains. I thought reading this kind of news was bad enough before I went to GYLC and made friends who lived all over the world. Once people you know and love are in danger, it’s a very, very different story.
Nina, Pia, and Billie, please be safe.
