I arrived in Cape Town, South Africa on Monday the 28th of January. I spent the first three days in a haze trying to get over jet lag. The last couple of days my group from Gordon College has been at the University of Western Cape trying to figure out how to regristrar for classes.

The process of signing up for classes has not been easy to say the least. We can't figure out and no one has been able to explain to us which classes are offered this semester. So we came back on campus today to once again try to figure out the system. We have found our patience in our moto so far, "Except nothing, revel in everything."

Our leader, Claire, has been great. We all follow her around like 9 little ducklings (since she stands over 6 feet tall she really is our mother duck). She has taught us how to get around and how to be safe in the great unknown of South Africa.
