Back to class!

Hi all, so I checked out dougs blog today an mine is infinitely less cool, and lacks pictures!! Sorry! Not totally my fault though, South Africa has really limited access to internet, so its incredibly slow, so downloading pictures takes years. Also, having a camera with you is asking to get mugged, so yeah. I did take some great pictures of the kids next store, but for know you'll have to imagine them.
The weekend was good On friday we went to stay at a hostel in downtown durban, it was a pretty nice hostel. I stayed in a room with 10 other girls from the program. At night we went out of the town. My, katie, molly and aiden went to a mexican resturant and had a quite large pitcher of margarita and lots and lots of nachos. The next morning we checked out an apartment to move into after we are done living with are homestays families, for our independent research projects. Beautiful!! on the water!! and with good access to buses etc, to get to work.
Im not sure if Ive said this yet, but I want to be working for a mobile clinic that tests and treats HIV/AIDS. Not sure yet if this will be a rural clinic or an urban clinic. Its all very up in the air now.
I cooked dinner for my mama on sunday, good ol baked mac and cheese, she loved it, infact she woke up early this morning and finished it.
So now I'm back at school and my homestay and staying there until Friday, when we take a 5 hour hike to the Eastern Cape, we'll then hike all day Sayturday, and then live in rural homestays until Tuesday, when we head back to our usual homestays in Cato Manor. Time for Class, more soon!
