Everything has finally started to come together. Most of the house has started working at their service sites (I start Tuesday.) My friends Lauren and Charlie seemed to have he most intense experience so far, they are both working at a school and after their tour the principal just dropped them off in their own classrooms and said "okay, teach whatever!" Unbelievable!!! Lauren said she taught math for 2 hours and Charlie said he tried natural sciences but eventually they just spoke about America! To me that is the coolest and scariest experience ever!
Besides that we have been going to classes for 2 weeks now. I handed in my frist paper, watched some ridiculous movie about Botox and what is happening to women in society and had my first group presentation this morning. For my Leadership in Grassroots Organizations we will have group presentations every friday morning. ugh.
Last night we had our second reflection where we talked about our expectations going into the program - how much would be South Africa how much would be service and how much would be learning compared to how its actually been (it was an art project and we all know my art skills lol.)
Most of the house joined the hiking/ camping club at school and are on a long weekend trip, there are 8 of us home and this weekend the plan is to go this restaurant known for its desserts, check out The Old Biscuit Mill, go watch Kevin (our housemate) in his volleyball tournament, and attend a bbq on Sunday!.. Oh, and homework of course :)
