This Sunday a group 14 of us woke up at 5:15 am to climb Table Mountain, one of the 7 wonders of the world. The sun comes out early here and once it is out it’s about 90 degrees. The path was all rock and the majority of the hike was straight up the mountain. It was the hardest hike I’ve done but my group made it to the top of the mountain in two hours and we felt so accomplished after. Going down took us the same amount of time because the rocks were so large and slippery that we had to be extra careful. Later in the day our landlord, David, come over and heard that we hiked Table Mountain so now he is taking us on another hike this Thursday. We are all a bit nervous because he is super in shape and we looked at the hike was talking about online and the description says only for experts and it entails rock climbing. Hopefully I make it through that one to blog about it.
Monday was my first day of class at University of Western Cape (UWC). I would have been nervous but I had 7 girls in the program in the same class as me. It was weird being the international student at the university and having people look at me because of my goofy accent. We got to campus early so we walked around and tried to get a feel for where things are. When it was time for class we all walked in with a huge crowd of people however, apparently the class started an hour earlier than what was listed in the book so my group and about 80% of the class were late!! It was a great start to my first day of class but eventually I will figure out the African school system.
