I have had another successfully fun-filled weekend. Never a dull moment in CT. On Friday I went to the Jewish Museum with my friend Leah. We have been trying for the last month to get there but inevitably there has been a holiday/holyday every single Friday. The museum was a bit kitchy. There was a reconstructed schtetel, along with strange videos of men with Lithuanian accents. It wasn’t as sophisticated as I would have wanted, but they got their point across.
Friday night Leah and I were back at Hiddingh for a play called Women Beware Women. One of the actors—the guy who plays the uncle who is having an affair with his niece—is sitting outside the window from me at Cocoa Wah Wah right now! CT is kind of small sometimes. The acting was great. I encourage you to google the play because it was quite confusing. It definitely has some feminist commentary to it, but I’m not quite sure how to explain.
Saturday I went SHARK CAGE DIVING! It was on my list of things that I didn’t need to do while here in CT, but I then I won two tickets…so I obviously had to. Some sort of gift from the gods I suppose, though it wasn’t as ethereal as I expected. 4 of us went. It was a seriously long journey. We got picked up at 9:30, drove two hours to Hermanus, and didn’t get back until 8pm. It was a beautiful drive. We got to had lunch and a snack served to us, though I could only eat the fruit due to this damn cleanse (more on that later). We saw a lot of sharks, and luckily the water was calm so NO ONE barfed. I did not get in the cage because they were throwing so much chum (fish guts) in the water that I was too grossed out. Plus we had a better view from the boat. It was cool. I don’t really know how to describe it. There was a lot of waiting, but the few moments when the sharks came out for the bait was cool. Check out the pictures on facebook!
This morning I went to NIA. I had almost enough energy to do it all. This cleanse is making me feel great now that I got over the two days of sugar and caffeine withdrawals. I didn’t realize how dependent on those things I was until I stated getting headaches and couldn’t focus without them. The amount of crap we eat sometimes is scary. I’m not saying I’m going to stop drinking coffee, but there are certain things I think I will really try not to eat, like processed sugar. No more candy bars. Goodbye Kit Kats.
I have 2 weeks left of classes. I have 3 papers and a project due within those weeks, and then I have finals. It’s going to be rough! In 5 weeks I leave for Scotland, and I will be home a month from Wednesday. Unbelievable, non?
I hope everyone is well.
Love, Katy
