We had our first day of class on Monday. We have classes in one of three rooms in the building in the picture. I had History of South Africa and Intro to Art. We only have class for six weeks so its intensive. I had Intro to Art for 4 1/2 hrs with lunch in between. So far the food has been good. Its about the same as any food we have back at home with chicken and rice. We had tacos tonight so its nothing new. The coolest thing is that we have tea time twice a day. One at 10:30am and 4:30pm. Today I had Life and Teachings of Jesus with Reg who is the coordinator for the program here. He's really smart and a White African. The culture is not all that different here around the white people but one difference is that here people say it like it is. White people are white, blacks are called black, coloured people coloured, etc... asians and indians alike. In America we are so conscience about offending people but here they dont beat around the bush. Today we also went to some service sights which are ones we are going to be working at. Its amazing that we get to work with the people and get involved with the community. This semesters has started off amazing.
