Today began our orientations and presentations for the week at UCT! I am convinced I am supposed to study abroad, forever! I loved the day... while exhausted, I was mentally engaged and curious the entire time. Learning about education in South Africa to more extensive details about Robben Island and District Six was captivating. I couldn't shut my mouth with questions I had. More to come when I organize my notes and we complete our second rounds of presentations on Wednesday. Pictures to follow. We got a great one of the large steps leading up to Jameson Hall with the mountains towering in the background :)
Also, we had a chicken curry wrap for lunch today. I was scared for curry, but it was a 'mild' curry. Boy, was I surprised! It was great. While a bit of a kick at the end, I ate two it was so good. Also for dinner we had a chicken, sweet potato, rice combination that was very appetizing. Everything I have tried so far, apart from the ProNutro and the Marmite, I could eat on a regular basis!
Tomorrow is our session with Jonathon Jansen and a sit in from study abroad students from Vanderbilt. We better make Spartans proud in leading the discussion forum! GO GREEN!
