Last night I went to Queen at the Ballet, which is essentially a ballet to Queen songs. Makes sense right? Here's what I learned, ballet dancers are incredibly disciplined. They can do anything, and i'm glad I'm not one of them. Some of the things they do look painful. At any rate it was fun to put on a dress and hit the town with Sam, Leah, Laura and Taylor, even though we had to wait for L'Archie for a very long time.

Yesterday Leah and took the Hiddingh Campus shuttle again. It's a friday ritual now. It's fantastic. We went to a place called the Afro Cafe. The entire motif is very ecclectic with a lot of bright colors and a cartoon face of a guy with sunglasses and an afro. T.I.A.

I started a new volunteering project (even though it's only for a month) at the Lawrence House, which is a childrens home for refugees. Basically I just help with homework for a couple of hours.

I will be flying to Scotland 6 weeks from today. I was going to say that I cannot really believe it, but that's a lie. I can. I feel like I've been here a long time. I think there will be a lot of things that I miss about south Africa, and I know this going to be the most exciting my life gets for awhile, but I think I will be ready to leave, especially after all the work I have to do in the next 3 weeks before classes end and BEFORE final exams. oy vey.

One thing that struck me this week was that I was on the Jammie driving through Mowbray bus station, I noticed a woman with a baby strapped to her back, holding onto the hand of a 3 year old on one side, and a holding grocery bags on the other arm. I cannot believe I complain about my bag being too heavy.

I was really happy to be able to talk to a lot of friends on Skype this weeks. thanks kids i love you!

Love, Katy
