The Wishing Well

It's a wonder there aren't any pigs here. ;P It keeps raining.. and raining.. and raining..

I wrote this relatively long entry yesterday and the interent connection here wiped it out. :/ After that, the connection was just dead the rest of the day. D:

Anyways, we're spending most of our time ionside since it's so muddy in the streets. If you can call them streets, that is. There's puddles everywhere. The raining doesn't look like it's going to stop very soon.

I just realized that I never wrote what my cousins' names were. XD I must've been confusing all of you. -__- Anyways, my youngest cousin's name is Neel, and he's almost three. His brother, Shubham, is ten [I think], but he has Down syndrome, so he's a little different. Yash, the oldest, is 12.

The past couple of days my cousins and I have been trying to find anything to keep us busy while we're inside. I learned how to fold paper cranes, but Shubham and Neel were taking all the paper and throwing it around in the other room. XD Not that I cared very much. :P My mom and I spent two whole hours teaching Neel the colors on the oragami paper. >__> ::cough:: We were so successful that now he thinks everything is YELLOW.

There's this card game called Rat-a-Tat-Cat and I'm pretty good at it. -___- But Yash keeps beating me. D: It's the only worthwhile game to play, so I still play even though I lose. x__X

I'm supposed to be eating breakfast right now, but I'm really not that hungry. That's what happens to me when I travel a lot. Here, in India, people hire cooks to make food for them. D: Our cook forces food on us. XD Seriously! He's like dropping loads of food on our plates. -___- I can't eat that much, geez. At least the food is good. :P

Yesterday evening, I went with Yash to play soccer [or as they call it here, football] with him and his friends. Now if you know me, you know that I am HORRIBLE at soccer. Anyone at TIC who saw Sarah and I play that one day... you know. >__> Well, Yash really wanted me to play with them, so I just went for the heck of it. We play in this little alleyway at the bottom of the apartment complex.

No offense, but they were worse than me. XD The basic point of the game was: if you kick it out of bounds, your team is screwed, because the other team can easily throw it to the other side of the "field," and if the ball goes under a car, whoever gets the ball first gets it and continues playing. :P Believe it or not, I scored the winning goal. x]

I feel like I'm not doing much here but there seems to be a whole lot to write about. :P
