The Weekend is Almost Here

Classes are really starting to hit us hard. Every free time we have is pretty much spent reading, writing a paper, or writing in journals about our thoughts. Due to the shortness of our semester, we have midterms already next week for some classes. I have 4 papers due next week and tons of reading, some of which I have to do today before lunch, but it's ok because the weekend is almost here.

The agenda for this weekend involves a trip to Durban. Durban is a really pretty beach where I can place my feet inside the Indian Ocean. We will be staying in houses there where there is no internet and we're basically going to just relax and enjoy the community. The point of the trip is to engage in the Indian community of South Africa. We are leaving Friday afternoon to get settled in and we will spend all of Saturday on the beach. Some families have volunteered to cook traditional South African/Indian food for us and will invite us to their homes after church on Sunday.

This means that I won't blog for a couple days because I'll be gone and when I come back I'll have midterms to study for, but I will try my best to share about my experiences in Durban. I'm sure it'll be lovely.
