A Typical Weekday in my South African Life

I usually get up around 6:15 a.m. and get ready for the day. Breakfast is museli, with yogurt and apple. Some days classes start at 8:30 and other days 9:00. We usually begin with some type of worship or devotional and then we have photography class for the rest of the morning (until about 12:30). Lunch is around 1:00 and may be sandwiches or soup. My afternoon activities vary, depending on the day. I usually head to the high school for some volunteer work and tutoring; head to the internet café so I can be in contact with all of you; try to complete the day’s photography assignment. Supper is around 6:00 and is usually pasta or some meat and rice/potatoes. Our evening activities are limited because it gets dark early and we can’t be out by ourselves (even small groups can encounter problems, plus we have this lack of guys in our group so that takes away the option of an escort). I try to be in bed and call it a day by about 10/10:30 anyway.
