Orientation

My internet was really sketchy a few minutes ago, so here's my second try! The last few days have been so crazy, this has been like the busiest week of my life, every minute is filled with stuff to do, and getting to and from places has been interesting figuring it out.

So orientation has been happening for us international students, and by international students I mean complete newbies, worse than freshman, haha. We are always in groups, and never know where we're going and its just kind of funny that we've been in college for 3 years, but now were completely new again. All of the freshman just moved into their dorms this week at UCT and thats when we realized that we're worse than freshman. Anyways...

Orientation has been pretty boring to say the least. The first day was cool, we had a lecture welcoming it, and the most dynamic talk about HIV and AIDS...it got really real, like discussing bodily fluids and such, but it was probably the most informative talk I've ever had regarding it. No messing around when it comes to the letters. After that we had a drumming workshop which was really really cool and awesomely fun. All 700 or so international students were in a room and we all had drums and were being led by these expert drummers and when you looked around the room everyone just had the biggest smile on their faces and were all completely captivated. Then we were given some awesome food, and planned to go out. It was our roommates 21st birthday so we all planned to go out. We went to this bar/club called the Tin Roof where no pictures of mine exist, but it was fun dancing with everyone to some very American hits like Kanye West and that wonderful Ke$ha (I feel completely ridiculous spelling her name like that).

The next day we had to take this awful 3 hour standardized test that was so ridiculously easy but after 3 hours of sleep we were all really haggard and thus the test was awful. We went out this night too, to a club called Tiger Tiger, it was much classier than the Tin Roof, but just as much fun, pictures to follow :)

ok I also had a super foodie moment, there's a restaurant in obz that is called Quensh and its this little organic restaurant and we all had the most DELISH food there. The pictures are of a veggie burger, a veggie omelet and my meal was a wrap with feta, lentils, butternut squash and pesto, it was so good. There is no shortage of good food here, its perfect for my foodie needs!
