I thought that everybody stayed in the boarding house during the weekend. Nope. Most boarding people board during the week and go home during the weekend. Big surprise. Only 7 other girls boarded with me over the weekend. We had a blast once I broke out of my shell. On Saturday before the braai (South African for BBQ), there was a huge water fight. People were thrown into the pool, including me. That forced me out of my little awkward bubble. Once I started trying to shove the guys into the pool, they found out I’m not a snob. After dinner we played an intense game of soccer. The ball hit me square in the forehead at full speed. Ouch. That was not the only time I got hit too! Sunday we went to the Cape Gate Mall. Since I am not a big mall person, I was not too impressed. It was like mall back home, but it had different stores. We played more soccer once we got home. I am so stiff. When I walk up or down the stairs, I have to hold on to the rail so I don't fall down.

Bridge House
That is the view from the second story next to my math class.

Mountains
Mountains like that surround the whole school. A big change from the rolling hills I am used to.

Hallways
The students here put their bags outside classes before school, during break, and during lunch. It is still bizar for me to leave my bag somewhere unprotected.

Library
It is a pitiful sight compared to Dripping Spring's library. That is the fiction section and part of the research section.

That is the outside view of the library.

Kick those boys' asses
The way to control those teen age boys is to beat them at their own game. First of all you are way smarter than them so you can out-smart them and THEN make the goal. The pictures of the campus are very interesting. The mountains are BEAUTIFUL. Keep up the blogging.
