I never thought I would miss the insanity that is Pratt but I genuinely do. I feel so unproductive here (though I am working on a side project for BW so that's good). It's been a month and I've been given a total of ONE real project and a bunch of vague directions for projects that will be done in the future. It makes it difficult to WANT to do anything, too. Speaking of assignments, the one that I do have is a group project (which is good for a first project because I'd be lost without Manuela and her amazing patience when it comes to explaining shit to me in a mix of Italian and broken English) and we JUST got a typed brief today.

When I got to class Silvia, the girl who wants to go to Pratt next semester, came over and we talked briefly. She asked me if I'd read New Moon. Kind of random. I guess it was because Twilight is a huge thing in the US for certain age groups. Or I give off a vibe that reels lovers of the Sparklepire.

Uploaded photos to photobucket and will post them tomorrow. Promise. Tweet me if I don't, 'kay? *expects Erica, Amanda and Nicole to respond alla Pee Wee's Playhouse*

We've been exploring Cape Town for about four days now. So far we've done one beach day (Muizenberg) and had the same exact experience Mum had years ago. She would go to the beach and see tons of people she knew. We arrived at the beach to hear someone yell out "Adrienne!" It was the older sister of one of my high school friends. We knew they were in Cape Town but not where and we didn't expect to see them after seeing her at the airport. So we hung out with her family at the beach and Mum ran into two people she knew from high school. Then a guy who had worked at Galil (a camp my brothers and I all went to) recognized Brian and came over to say hello. We were also stopped on the beach by this boy who knew Bri and turned out to be our friend's cousin. It was pretty awesome. So we made plans to hang out with the family again . Tamara, the girl I knew, came with Bri, Jeff and me to Trivia Night at this restaurant at the V&A Waterfront but it turned out they weren't having it so we went to the mall area and walked around for a bit before finding a coffee shop to chill at..then we met up with the parents and they got some coffee, too, before we all left. That was yesterday. I'm going out of order. A real day by day post will be made later. And it will include further explanation of the following: Wally the street performer, the apartment thing, Jeff's sunburn of annoyance, Stressed to Kill, It's Not Just Fez, Boulders beach/Penguins!!!, zebras, Table Mountain, Camps Bay, Moyos, Lanzerac, wine tasting, wine country, baboons!, Cape Point, the Flying Dutchman, and probably more stuff that I just can't think of right now. These are mostly here to remind me of what I wanted to mention before I forget it. Remember that journal I was supposed to be keeping? Haven't written in it since day 1. Been too busy watching movies once we get to the apartment with Jeff. We've so far watched "The Prestige" and "The Illusionist". It's been a Magic-Movie-Theme. But that has nothing to do with Africa.

We have four more days here. Tomorrow we're going to the Market and then Kalk Bay for beach time. Hopefully I will find my Nyami nyami charm (and not in ivory). Wanna know what that is, look it up on wikipedia. We also want to go on some nice drive but since I'm stuck in the middle I'm not very fond of long drives. But we'll see. We are going with the flow.

Not sure when I'll get back to the bar. May update again in a few days. Love to everyone. I'll catch up with the FList later.
