Ahhh the weekend. Sure felt good after that one whole day of class :) My first class went really well though! It was the Soc class and we're basically going to be studying poverty in South Africa, why the situtation is the way it is, and what the government/public can do about. Out professor seemed really nice too and fairly entertaining, which will be good at 8am. Friday night was the "Big Bash," which is a huge party fundraiser for SHAWCO, the volunteer organization that I'm going to be working with. It's for UCT students only, but 7000 (!!!) people come! They have to hold it in this Great America-type venue because it's so huge and they have lots of live bands (and some apparently very famous South African hip-hop artist that the guy next to me really wanted me to sing along too, but I was obviously clueless) and DJs and it goes til 6 in the morning. I'm a wimp though and only made it till two. It was definitely fun, but also a bit overwhelming. Other than that, we just had a nice weekend of laying on the beach (I'm even getting a flip-flop tan now...) and having another braai. First actual week of class starts tomorrow!
