So much to tell, so little time
I have done so much over the past week, and it has all been amazing. Still not at a point where I can post pictures, but when I do.... South Africa's beauty will be known to all who read this lovely blog. I've done a lot of orientation stuff, but also went on a tour of the Cape Peninsula and made my way down to the southern most point of Africa. I also visited Robben Island, site of the maximum security prison of the Apartheid era which housed political prisoners. Today I hiked up Table Mountain. It's just so amazingly gorgeous here. Pictures to come soon, I promise.
School starts on Friday!! I'm excited. My courses are:
Liberation in Southern Africa (from the Department of Historical Studies, about liberation struggles)
Theories, Politics, and Action (from the African Gender Institute, about women's movements in Southern Africa)
Poverty, Development, and Globalisation (from the Department of Sociology, pretty self-explanatory)
They all look like they're going to be really interesting. Here, you have class and tutorials. The first two courses meet every day of the week and have one tutorial per week. The last course meets M W F and has a tutorial, as well. Less courses, but lots of class time.
Again, the internet cafe has its time limits, and I must stop writing, but pictures soon, I promise!

Ah, the memories. I'm happy you're having such a great time. Have you been to Mr. Price yet, definately a necessity for the thrifty shopper, although a lot of their things are so tacky. Also, don't forget to look for black india as my vicarious stalker. Keep updating. It makes me happy.
