It's not over yet :D


My last month is going wonderfully. I'm just trying to get all the last minute tourist needs accomplished while attempting to study for exams. I finally made it to Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela among many other ANC political prisoners were imprisoned for decades). It was a pretty eerie place. I also finally made it out to Clifton Beach with Kasey last Friday. It was such a gorgeous day...of course we both ended up sunburned, but still totally worth it. We rented beach chairs and bought ice cream, it was the perfect girl's day. It was so funny because Clifton Beach has 4 beaches and we were dropped off by the mini bus at number three so we just went down and it was great because almost no one was there. After an hour or two we slowly began to realize we had chosen the gay/nude beach haha it was so hilarious hahaha.

It's starting to hit home that the semester is coming to close now that it's a matter of weeks until we all leave. I wish we were all going home at the same time. Kasey and Sam leave November 17th and it is probably going to break my heart having to say goodbye.It's so weird how quickly and how strong my friendships have grown here. I have a really great feeling that we're all going to stay somewhat close though because this experience has just been so bonding.

Well, I wish I could write more (and I will soon), but I have to meet Ida Cooper for tea :] Haha. Miss you all <3
