Week 2 with pictures

Me in a Sombrero

Ok so this was my first official week of school ( uni) with classes and everything, waaaay intense and fun. first off i have this really cool schedule so i've only got 1 class on a monday wednesday friday. the downside of this is that i have 8 o clock classes on tuesday and thursday , not super fun.

this semester i'm takin pol problems in developing countries, differential equations, calculus 3 , intermediate macro economics and international economics . my classes r pretty fun and my fav for the mo is international ecos , but its got a lot of work . pol is a lil annoying because the american r bein so AMERICAN about it and almost completely obnoxious.

um one of the highlights of the trip so far was wen i told someone i was from south africa and they asked which country , i nearly died of laughter( inside of course) the sad thing was that she was a uni student.

coolness of this week was wen my roomie mayra made me mexican food , waaaaaaaaaaaaay good. omg the food here is crazy , the dinning hall is a super duper all you can eat buffet with amazin variety , vry vry cool

american boys are also very polite, they always hold the door open for you and stuff even if ur a long way off , so that's nice and texans are jus supa dupa friendly.

I realised that i have yet to introduce to u the main characters of my exchange thus far so here they are

oh wait random american fact, they don't bath/shower everyday , only when they feel like it. ( wierd, i kno)

um so ya the bestest part of week 2 was my super fun crazy weekend in San Antonio. because it was Kat's 21st and a long wkend a couple of us(9) decided to have a road trip to san Antonio , a town about 3 hours away 4rm us. It was crazy, 5 of us drove down on friday night ( me, rachel,gerda, kat, angelica,) and had an amazing dinner at this super cool jazz bar/ italian restaurant with a belly dancer, very random very cool and the best lasagna ever.

on saturday mornin angelica and i went galavanting, she cut her hair and i bought sum pink hair which will make an appearance soon. We then went back to the hotel ( a super cheap , slightly dodgy in a not so safe side of town bt near enough to the hub hotel) got the other girls and did more galavanting , i've been to the Alamo ( google it). And we waited for the other girls to arrive, they came and we headed off for a crazy fun night of partying. unfortunately howeva since the legal drinking age is 21 in the US most places are over 21 and only 3 of us including Kat wer ova, so we ended up in this random mexican club called Medusa , but we had a good time and I believe it was God's way of keepin me out of trouble without me bein a stick in the mud. the cool thing bout the night though was that the ova 21s got to got to the Coyote Ugly bar and had an awesome time.

next day was pretty awesome too and we woke up at around 9 so that we could have a birthday brunch for kat at the hyaty , it was ridiculously expensive bt we got our money's worth and sat for about 2hours and 45 minutes stuffing our faces with gud food, it was great. Then sum of us went and did more galavanting and in the night we had dinner at this cool mexican resturant. afterword we went walking down the riverwalk and sang random songs and dodged guys who tried to wish us happy collective birthdays, it was great.

Monday was the day we came home and i atea texas shaped waffle.

by the way just to let u kno wen we complain about bein lazy to go to the dinnin hall, i now hav a 10 to 15 min walk to my nearest 1 , its great.

well asta la vista baby
