The beginning of the week... which is now last week (Feb. 21st - 27th) was just a plain week. Nothing too much to report - just classes and laying low in my flat. Sometimes its nice just to hang out at home and take it easy. Sometimes I feel like everything needs to get done now and I need to pack everything in - but then I have to slow down and realize, 'Hey, you will be here until June, slow down!' So, the beginning of the week was a take it easy week.
On Sunday the 27th my international group went on a trip together up to Kirstenbosch, which is a botanical garden area. Really beautiful. We went up there to attend a concert which featured one of South Africa's most prominent bands. They are called Prime Circle. The concert was outdoors and it was basically like a big picnic day. The atmosphere was very laid back.
In case you are wondering what Prime Circle sounds like, you can listen here:

Then, to start this week off, I went to the beach today (March 1st). I don't have classes on Monday. The beach is awesome. I took the train with one of my friends here - which was an adventure in itself. I am including just a picture of the beach I went to. It's name is Strand Beach.
The week started off wonderful - and now its back to classes! Afrikaans in the morning and an English film study class in the afternoon for tomorrow. My Wednesday class consists of South African History. Thursdays include just a morning class of Afrikaans, and Friday is a sociology class called Negotiating Transitions.
Enjoy the week, everyone!
