south africa has been.....not what i expected so far. but here's what has happened since i got here on the 17th of january!
i moved into a house off campus with five german students: nadine, norbert, sebastian, christoph and jonas; two french girls: marj and lindsay, and three south africans: analicia, heinrich and john michael. they are all so fun and really nice but i hated living off campus. it's not even that far from campus but i thought, how will i meet people being so far away?? so: i moved on campus to a hostel called jbm. it's like an apartment on campus kind of.....there are nine people in our "flat" (i really dont know what to call it): rasheed, eric, rutger, matias, tommi, rike, heike, and johanna. my room is about 6 x 9 but i really love it!
i have four classes right now: positive psych, personality psych, therapeutic counselling, and south africa sign language. even having all four of these classes, i only have class monday and tuesday! school is so strange here. they have a formal lecture and a tutoring class that you dont always have to go to so...i have a lot of free time.
i haven't travelled yet. but i have gone to a cheetah farm where i got to pet a cheetah, baby lions and baby tigers which was so fun! other than that, it's just been hanging out in Bloem, doing whatever. i've been to my first cricket game...and a "football" game...and rugby should start soon, which im actually excited about! there is pretty good shopping to do here and the nightlife is kinda fun too. we always go to the same club, barba's, but it's really laid back and they play good music so it's a good time!
i miss you all at home! i hope everything is going GREAT and i can't wait to get home in july to see all of your beautiful faces :)
Aww Beka, it seems like you have a lot if time on your hands which is so good for a place that you want to learn about and discover. Please take plenty of pictures!!! I miss you but so wish I could do something so fun and exciting like that! Love you! Oh and I texted your mom too ;)
