It has been too long.

I realize it have been 2 weeks since my last post, but not that much has been going on.
I celebrated my 21st birthday on the twelfth with some great friends.  I began the celebration on Thursday night and it continued into Sunday afternoon.  Saturday was the big day of celebrating.  I had a pizza party with some close girls with cake and great conversation.  We continued on to this nice place called News Cafe and had some drinks.  Now, the drinking age here is 18, so I was ordering drinks while I was still 20, but I still made a big deal out of it. From this café, I went out to a club.  I danced the night away with a bunch of other international students and had a great time!  The next day, on my official birthday, I went to brunch (more like dinner-lunch) with some girls and went to a terrible restaurant, but they had good juice, so it was ok. 

 Me with my cake!

 My pina colada and I!

 While we were enjoying our drinks, these drunk guys came up and found out it was my birthday and started singing to me.  They got a little close for comfort, but it is definitely one of my most memorable moments here!

Club goers!

Two days later was Valentine’s Day and they go all out here! There were pink, red, and white things everywhere! Elise and I were bored, so we decided to go out to dinner and movie and have a little date.  We were elated when we went to buy our movie tickets and it was 2 for the price of 1 (it was like $6 for the both of us).  This made our decision to get popcorn much easier.  The movie was so nice.  It was air conditioned and dark and so relaxing.  It was a nice little escape for us.  We then went to this diner place called Wimpy’s, and people were feeling the love there.  This place is like a mixture of McDonalds and Johnny Rockets, just so you know.  They had candles on the table, choices of wine, and 2 for 1 milkshakes.  There were so many couples in there, young and old.  It was crazy but funny.

Since Valentine’s Day, things have been pretty laid back.  I have homework due this next week, so that is a little annoying.  I also have an internship at the Botswana Society for the Deaf and I work there 2 days a week for about 8 hours each day.  I am starting to learn sign language and it is so cool!  I am definitely getting busy again!  I am looking forward to my spring break trip coming up next weekend.  We will be going to the Okavango Delta on a safari basically.  From there I am planning on traveling into Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls.  I can’t wait!!!
