Catching Up!

Since I've gotten here, this is the first time I wish I was back in the US. 4th of July! I guess it makes sense for me not to celebrate this country's independence since it doesn't want me in it. Anyways I hope everyone enjoys this holiday!!

As for the Brasil game, I don't want to talk about it. At least I'm saving $1500.

I've been slacking on the blog, but with good reason! Increase in social life + Busy at work - Good Internet + Not wanting to do anything/talk to anyone after the Brasil game= Less blogging. But I promise to try harder!

The internship has been amazing! Every day I meet new people, and they're all amazing! I've decided South Africans are really high up on my list of favorite people. They're so nice and funny and friendly, all of them! I've been doing a lot of legit work, and they've been giving me a lot of responsibility. I researched and put together a competitor review and presented to client, participated in meetings, brainstormed, rushed documents for client approval at late hours in another city (Pretoria). It's such a great atmosphere, I really love it here!

As for driving, everyone would be impressed! No accidents, and only turned once into a wrong way street, but there were no other cars around so we're all good!

I've met up with some old friends from Brasil and actually gone out, and then met people from here and went out more! It's so funny because all the nice places here are American influenced: the club we went to was called Manhattan, and we watched the game in this huge Plaza outside a mall called Melrose Arch.

After this weekend I'm going to start all my tourism, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do first, probably Victoria Falls because I'm dying to go! I've decided I might spend a weekend in Durban as well... We'll see what I have time for!

I started my online Oceanography class: probably the most pointless thing I've ever had to do. Oh the things I do to stay in the country... If anyone is ever bored and wants to do my homework for me, please let me know!

Anyways, I miss everyone a lot and I'll see you in 5 weeks!!
