We visited a school called Zwelibanzi today (Well, half of us did anyway. The other half went to another one called Dloko) which was amazing! I met so many incredible people. One stood out in particular. Her name was Thoboko (Amanda) and she was eighteen years old. I also met her friend Nobuhle who was just as lovely. Amanda was my buddy and I went to her classes (Life Sciences, English, Zulu, Maths and Physics) with her until I had to leave (which was really sad. She walked me to the bus. I hated leaving her! She was so lovely!). Her and her friend managed to convince me to sing... I sang a bit of 'Titanium' and they were so sweet! I was extremely flattered and, of course, completely disagreed with their compliments but it was still really nice of them.
When we got back to hotel room, most people went to the beach/market but I stayed in my hotel room on my own. I sang, danced, updated Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr simultaneously (all thanks to Instagram). I slept for eleven minutes. Then my temporary roommates came back and my sleep was ruined. I was quite tired.
Dinner was fun... I had some butternut ravioli and a glass of Rosé wine. Everyone got a little drunk/tipsy. It was kinda hilarious. I had a really nice chat with my former head teacher who was telling me all about the charity to help street children and others out. He is such an inspiration. I also talked to my current head teacher about important issues such as uniform at James Gillespie's and whether or not Scotland should become independent (it shouldn't). I had another talk with another teacher about big political debates and things which was interesting. Apparently, I was in a very political mood tonight...
Back at the hotel, my roommates and I sort of embarrassed ourselves in front of two teachers... Not going to say anything else on that. Way too embarrassing.
