sunny day

I'm all registered for classes and stuff; it feels good to have that over with even tho they start monday.

After registration on thursday, we went into a local township about 20 minutes away to look at this volunteering program called SHAWCO. It was kind of wild. They created a school in the town ship that specializes in arts and sports, so it offers kids something to do after actual school ends. We got a chance to meet all the kids; they're all beautiful. We had like an hour to do whatever and like chill with them; it was sweet. It looked cool, but I think I am going to end up volunteering at a similar school called the media school. It specializes in teaching kids about journalism and photography...as basic as how to use a camera and things like that. I also heard about a cool refugee program too...we'll see.

Today, CIEE got us tickets to go to the Manchester United vs. Kaizer Chiefs at the stadium really close to my house. It was a fun time.

Last night we went out for my friend Robert's 21st birthday to this ridiculous club; there was like a VIP lounge and we had a table and bottle service. It was absurd and expensive and i got lectured about how i can never come back while wearing sneakers. Soooo insane.

It's so funny because essentially it's someones birthday like every 3 days here, haha. It's my housemate Lauren's birthday tonight and everyone is going out to dinner for that, but I think I'm gonna skip it and go to my other buddy's barbeque instead, we'll see.

Tomorrow we're going to go to this open air market that I went to last Sunday too. It's pretty cool, but touristy and they sell a lot of cool african stuff; i gotta get some stuff for my walls. After that we're gonna go hang at the beach since it's like a 2 min walk from the market.
