I Am Me

First and foremost, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUMK4Da9Avg

After watching the video, enjoy this less important summary.

So I am currently typing in the University of Western Cape library. It's cute but the whole library makes a horrible noise (like a bad air-conditioner). The campus is very nice, much bigger than Fordahm (well I think but I thought Fordham was big at first). The people are very nice here, they are kind of like southerners (they move slow and love to talk and be helpful, some lady in my class actually walked me to another building today).

So it has been a week since I moved into Kimberley 2. There are 16 girls and 2 boys. I live out back with Jason (an ex-Abercrombie model who was homeschooled his whole life and loves Jesus. He wants to work in Honduras with an orphanage. He's beautiful. I am dealing with this lol) The girls are great, there is a fellow Bronxite that I call Ta Ta and a girl named Shannon who I really like. Everybody in the house went out Friday and Saturday to Long Street (which is where a lot of the bars and clubs are in Cape Town) I danced on a stripper pole on Saturday night ;). We are all going to the gay clubs next weekend (I am trying to find me a SA coloured boyfriend). I came out to the group (in the case that they couldn't tell) when we were playing never have I ever. The question was "Never have I ever stuck my  fingers up a guy's butt". We have a live-in south African RA from Johannesburg. I like here alot, she is very kind and she's very honest about the problems of her country.There is a girl named Sophie who was here for the first three days and we really connected. On the third day she had to go home because she found out that she has throat cancer and has to go home and get surgery. So that was kind of cra cra emotional but she's very positive and strong and she thinks she will be back in early August.

 My service site starts next week, I am very excited to be teaching/working! But I have really been working on being in the moment and enjoying things and not worrying and trying to not feel pressure to be doing something (it's been going pretty well but #itsaprocess)

Thoughts on South Africa: I don't want to jump to any assumptions or saw anything unfounded lol but seriously the people are very nice but the apartheid has very much affected this place and its people.
Thoughts on US: The Native Americans have been upsetting me. It seems that we as a country have forgotten/forgiven/don't care that much/over it/accept what was done to the Native Americans. Our country is the way it is because we killed/moved/erased a people. And that truth is not truthfully displayed/remembered/apologized for in the American story/history or the mindset/consciousness of it's people.

Omg i am  hungry. Speaking of food, I tried Ostrich (it was actually really good, we may need to get Ostrich burgers in the city next semester)

I miss you guys.

So what's going on?

P.S. Internet sucks here but skype phone/google phone my cell 0823118582 (i can't really call you on it because it is super expensive) But it would be free for you guys to call me on an internet phone.

Loves you!
