This morning we had Global Health class at NMMU, I was up at 6:20 (although my alarm wasn’t set to go off until 7:15). I don’t know what is wrong with me lately, I seem to be waking up so darn early in the morning, and that does not usually happen! I am a snooze button person! Oh well, so I got up and started to get ready for my day. Class was a little heated today because we were debating about sex education and making resources available to young teens. Whenever I get on this topic it usually involves me becoming frustrated because everyone has their own opinions about how this subject should be handled. But we made it through class without anyone too angry with each other! After class, Katherine and I went to Pick ‘n Pay for groceries and some poster board for the presentations. We were hoping for an empty Kombi on the way home because we looked like packhorses with all of our things…our lucked worked out because there was an empty Kombi waiting for us when we walked out of the store! After coming home and unpacking the goods, we put our swimsuits on and went up to the roof to read and soak up some sun! It was absolutely beautiful weather! The sun was out but there was a light breeze, which is a change from the wind that we usually get! I stayed up there for a little over an hour and then Kasy, Brenna, Laura, Carrie, and I went to the Backpackers to get some information about our weekend and end of the trip travel plans. The guy was very helpful (after talking to him for a bit, at first he sent us away, but when he realized that we actually wanted to book trips through him, he started dishing out a bunch of information!) we have an appointment with him again on Thursday to start the planning process and getting info about how much the trips are going to cost. After our little visit, we were all craving ice cream, so we went to McDonalds. But while we were there, we decided to be daring and split two meals between the four of us! It actually wasn’t half bad, but we still like the U.S. better! We came home and then worked on homework for a bit, had a meeting with Denise about one of the weekend trips in October, and then got ready to go out for Karaoke at Captains. We met Didi, Garret, Kyle, Reese, and Warren (a bunch of Didi’s friends) at Captains for a drink and really bad singing! All of us girls (Christy, Ashley, Kasy, Laura, Brenna, Katherine, and I) sang “Build Me Up Buttercup” and we ended up just laughing the whole time, but it was fun! Then a little bit later Ashley, Laura, Kasy, and I went to sing, “Friends In Low Places.” It was the never-ending version, so after the song we came back home to go to bed!
