Becoming home.

South Africa is starting to feel more like home!

After taking my first introduction to Zulu class, it seemed like it would be the hardest thing I could possibly do in Africa. Definitely seemed like it would be something I would dread every day that I have it. However, I had my second class today and it went great! I love the teacher and it was pretty enjoyable. Even though I can't speak it fluently yet, huge shocker, I am really looking forward to it. On our dinner break and after the class, all of the people that live here year-round were asking us questions and teaching us other things in Zulu. It seems like this is one of the best environments to learn because they are all around to help us practice it and encouraging us with it everyday.

I know this semester is going to be amazing and we all have so much fun whenever we're together. Just in case you are someone reading this blog and you have no idea who I am talking about, I'll give you a brief biography on a few of the amazing people I am with!

Rob - He is my roommate while we are here in Pietermaritzburg, so for the next 11 weeks. He is pretty tall, has dark hair and bright blue eyes. He is the youngest of 5 children and is also a pastor's kid. He is very easy to get along with and is full of great ideas! Oh, and he's a Social Work major.

Angie- Angie is another Social Work major and is someone that I knew before coming on this adventure. She is pretty funny and whenever we are near each other we laugh non-stop. She's always there to make fun of me, and I would hate to have both of us together in a class if I were a teacher...

Tanya- Pretty short, Blonde hair with lighter-ish brown eyes. She always, well almost always, has a huge grin on her face. Whenever she is across a room and you make eye contact with her, you can be pretty sure that she will make some sort of face at you. She's also a very funny person and from back home, she kind of reminds me of Kacie :)

Bianca- She is also short as well, but she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She is someone who is very agreeable and she never makes anyone feel bad. She is there for you no matter what and definitely someone that is a great friend.

Logan- I also knew Logan before coming here, but we never really talked too often. He has Blond Blond Hair and is a total surfer. He has tan skin, and he always has a surf magazine in his hand! haha! He is also taking Zulu with me so whenever you are around him, you'll here "Yebo" and random clicks of every sort.


These are just a few of the people that I am here with, but there are also a lot more. I know these bios aren't that in depth but its a little bit more then you had before! I hope all of you guys are doing great and I love you all!

For now, Sharp Sharp!! (Pronounced, Shop shop and means everything is great!)
