Today was our mental health class and we watched a DVD lecture and had a guest speaker come speak to us. We learned about the commitment (or admittance) process for South African mentally ill patients. After class was done, we did a post conference and then Christy and I went to the computer lab to print our information for our STI presentation we are giving on Monday. It took forever, but we eventually made it out of the lab to come home and start our weekend!

We al got dressed up and went to Captains for trivia. Before we went out we had some wine and all hung out in my bedroom and played Never Have I Ever! Laura and I just ended up laughing the entire time on my bed, but it was a good time. We made it to Captains to meet up with people for trivia. Katherine, Kasy, Didi, and I all did the Springbuck shot, which we were told were traditional African shots, and you couldn’t come to South Africa and not take one of these shots! It was pepperminty and creamy, but very good and the best part was that it was only $1.00!!! After we were done with trivia we went to the Casino for Karoke. At first it wasn’t so much fun, but after we started dancing and singing (there was no dance floor mind you…we just set up camp in the back all by ourselves!) it was a great time! Kasy and I had so much fun! One of the guys there with us told me that I remind him of the girl from Hairspray, except I was, “I way skinnier and much prettier version.” He ensured me that it was a compliment! Around midnight we all went home and were able to sleep in for the first time in two weeks!
