September 6, 2007

This morning the group all rode together to class on the 9th floor in the Main building on campus. It was our first day of our Mental Health class, and we listened to a DVD lecture on different care models and mental examinations. All of it was interesting, but soon everyone began to fidget, because you can only watch a DVD lecture for so long without getting antsy! We were supposed to have class until 3:00, but we were finished by 12:30! We stopped at the computer lab to print a few things, and then a stop at Pick ‘n Pay for some groceries. Carrie, Ashley, and I took the Kombi back home and took a lunch break to watch some TV, and we really got into a golf movie that was on TV…so Carrie, Alex, and I sat on the chairs and watched the end of the movie before starting on homework for the rest of the afternoon! At 5:30 Didi and Q came over to see if anyone wanted to go to Happy Hour at Captains, so Carrie, Ashley, and I met Alex, Didi, and Q at the bar for a drink before going out for our group dinner at The Mediterranean. We met our group for dinner upstairs at the seafood restaurant…which was completely out of the box for me, because I don’t eat anything that is seafood! I ordered the vegetarian chowmein, but I did taste Carrie’s Crayfish and it was surprisingly good! As it should have been, because it was the most expensive item on the menu at R165 (which is about $24). After dinner we went back to Captains to meet Didi and Q and the rest of their friends for Trivia questions. We met Q’s girlfriend Tusie (I probably didn’t spell that right at all!) who is the sweetest girl ever! We played trivia and I got an “Oy!” question right, so I got a free pitcher of beer for the table! Carrie and I were pumped, as was Didi, I got a lot of high-fives from everyone! So by the end of the night, Carrie and I spent a total of R14/$2 on two drinks and a pitcher of beer! It can’t get any cheaper than that! Around 11:00pm we came back to our flat and we packed for our weekend in the Karoo! It should be a fun get away and an exciting trip! You’ll hear about in on Sunday!
