Lion's Head!

So since this is basically the last week of classes, school is getting difficult. Here at UCT you get evaluated before you even take the final, its called "making DP" and if you don't make it you don't get to take the final exam...so you wasted a semester for nothing. I guess this could be personal opinion...but I think that their system is SUPER flawed.

On to other news...last Friday night, a few friends and I climbed lions head to watch the moon rise! It was absolutely fabulous. The hike is only about an hour, but includes like chains and ladders and rock climbing...kind of scary, but it's great. Reaching the top is incredible...you really can't get tired of the views in Cape Town, there is really nothing like them. Here's an idea:



we made it!




Then some sushi was seriously dominated (Asia supermarket in Obs is going to be something I miss dearly when I can only get super expensive sushi back in the states), and then we had a day party!

Our roommates who go to Wisconsin (who are a majority) have this day party thing there called Mifflin, blah blah blah, it was an excuse to have a party, haha. So our amazing roommate Katie made all 17 of us a giant pancake breakfast, that included banana nut, sweet potato (!!!), carrot, chocoalate chip and too much deliciousness. There were also different types of whipped cream that she whipped up and compound butter and did I mention Katie is amazing?? It was a success of a day, and lots of fun, lots of people, lots of ridiculousness...recurring theme right?


There may or may not have been a whipped cream fight. Just sayin.
