Wait, I only have a week left in SA???

Hi friends!
Sorry I've been incommunicado for the past three weeks. I've working on my independent research project, which took up a good chunk of my time between reading sources, revamping my project after hitting a dead end, interviewing, and writing up the final document. After days and days of writing, I turned in a 39 page bound document entitled "Interviews with University of Cape Town Students about Gender-Based Violence on their Campus with regards to their University’s Sexual Harassment and Offense Policies" Tuesday afternoon and presented my findings to my classmates and SIT staff on Wednesday afternoon. So as of Wednesday, I'm officially a senior in college!!! AHHH!!! Where has the time gone?
In case you're interested (which I hope you are) here's a list of things I've done between working on my research the past two weeks:
- spontaneous trip to Muzienburg via the train with Lara for coffee and a stroll on the beach
- day trip to Simons Town with Lara, Allie, and Liyah
- attended a showing of "Nothing But the Truth" at the Artscape Theater in Cape Town
- Old Biscuit Mill (x2)
- trip to Seapoint
- potluck supper with the other twenty-six members of my program
- hiked Table Mountain with Allie

- got my nose pierced (!)
- attended the Justin Bieber concert in Greenpoint with Lara and Carrie

Next up: evaluation week in Franschhoek Sunday-Wednesday, and then final goodbyes in Cape Town on Wednesday night and Thursday morning as most of my classmates depart Thursday. I'll be staying an extra night in town, right down the block from my flat, in a hostel with Carrie and departing Friday afternoon! The past 14 weeks have gone by so quickly and I know this last week in South Africa will too.
