Life in the sun...

random thing have happened the past couple days. highlights include...

went to a beginner informational type meeting for the rowing team, where i learned how to row in this pretend like boat thing. It is going to be quite the workout once i figure it out. I can't wait to get out on the real water in a couple of weeks and be moving instead of stationary. It must be the same thing like running on a treadmill... why feel like a gerbil when you can go out and see the world?

i have been signing for things left and right i feel like a freshman at Sparticipation, i just want to get involved, but things take a long time here to actually get started, things move overall, a lot slower, cramps my style a bit, but i guess i will have to learn to sit back and relax a little bit, i just feel like i am not here long enough to sit on my butt.

i actually had to check out books from the library to do research today- ewww! i was not planning on doing any of that when i was here, oh well.

classes are all really small, 20-30 people, im not used to not being able to go to sleep!

my favorite south africa wine is Rose- four cousins, really sweet.

funny things:
1) every time anybody clicks when they are speaking Zulu i laugh, even though, i can click now
2) yesterday on the way home from the grocery store i dropped a whole dozen eggs on the sidewalk
3) i am learning to be a creative cook. ask me to make you something when i come home.
4) i lay out in the sun by the pool today for 2 hours in 100 degree weather... in FEBRUARY!

Some South African Lingo:
1) Howzit?- means how are you?
2)Sharp Sharp- the answer to Howzit
3)Dawnie- a 7:45am class
4) are you attending?- are you going to class?
5) just now- later
6)"foot-sack"- F#$$ you
7) Sawubona- 'how are you' in Zulu
8) Varsity- university
9) robots- stoplights
