This past week has been a crazy adventure! 

Last friday was my first day off, sorta. We got to visit one of the service sites we could possibly do our community service hours for. This one was called Revlife. Basicly it was a place for kids to go to use computers, eat, and play. the facilities also offer alot for adults who are trying to increase their education. it was a pretty sweet place. they even had a basketball hop! (aka net ball here) but nonetheless it was still basketball, which i miss dearly. haha

Later that night was a dance party. it looked fun for the 30 seconds i went. i just wasn't feeling very social that night. Just hung out with people that night who were also aganist 
the whole dancing part of life. haha. but it was good overall. 

Saturday we had a beach day in durban! it was so amazing. Seriously, one of the best beaches i have ever been to in my life. so sweet! the water was so warm i didnt want to get out. A friend and I decided to go and kayak so we did that for a bit then got bored and wanted to go surfing. So much fun. I know i ate it a lot, but it was super worth it. I did a lot of shopping that day and just got to get more tan. seriously when i come back i will be black. haha. I also had pizza for the first time while being here! it was so goood!!! how i miss american food here! 

When you think a weekend could not get any better after going the beach all day. PAINTBALLING COMES INTO THE PICTURE! It was so much fun!! i totally got nailed in the head and still have a huge welt, but it was worth every moment of pain. The cool thing is that it was so cheap!! back in the states it would cost you an arm and a leg. It was so nice to shoot people and just have fun!! it was kinda scary too. i have never been shot at in my life so it was nice to kinda see what it feels like to be shot. it was a good day. plus this is the coolest picture ever eh? look how cool i look. It almost looks like i know what im doing . but i dont. haha. then we came back and hit the books. i had a vocab test on monday so i was studying for that. 

Monday went by fast because of the text at night, but it was still on my mind all day. I did really well i just wanted to do better next time. 

Well today is my first oral for zulu. awww. IT GOING TO BE SO HARD. for me at least. but i am glad today is almost over. i have not been feeling well all day, prob from all the excitment this week!!! yayayayaya!!! haha ok well thats all for now!!! hope you enjoy the update!

:)
