This week has not been good. After a bad start, I found it hard to keep my spirits up, and spent a lot of time slumping around the house sleeping. The antibiotics I got have pretty much cleared up my infections, which is a plus, but I still have a head cold (allergies? sinus infection? some fijian disease I didn't know about?) that has been plaguing me since Taveuni that is the next on my list of Things to Deal With. I skipped classes the last couple of days, which may be a problem back home, but since I'm taught everything via Powerpoint here it really isn't an issue. We're hoping to go to Beqa for the weekend since Eli has a friend with family there, but I wouldn't be surprised if those plans fell through. Myself and some of my friends are signed up for a shark dive on Monday morning, which we're all very excited for.
This is a soursop. Everything about this fruit is disgusting except for the taste. The name is gross, it looks gross from the outside (it's like a spiny football), gross on the inside (looks like mush, as you can see), and its texture is kind of creamy with fibrous strings - it's like a mix between a stringy mango and a...I don't even know. It come apart in little pyramids with what looks like a mutant oversized watermelon seed in the middle. But it tastes somewhere between an apple and a pear and is very delicious. If you've ever had a custard apple, it tastes like that, since the two fruits are related.
