Hectic

Ok so here's the scoop. The university students went on strike, which I have already mentioned. However, now the administration has closed the university until the 16th of February and everyone but international students had about 45 minutes to move out and go home. We now have to show the security guards our passports everytime we want to come back into campus. Anyway, so they moved us back into our dorms yesterday and we are now allowed to stay here. Pretty much every international student but Emilie and I have already left to go on vacations to Cape Town, Victoria Falls, Lesotho, etc. Emilie and I weren't quite ready for that though. So, we are going to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary near Palapye in Botswana and spending the night in Palapye because I have a friend that lives there. Then we will be back in Gaborone on Monday and will be leaving at 6 am on Tuesday to go to South Africa. We are stopping in Johannesburg but are continuing on to Durban on Tuesday afternoon. We are going to try surfing and hang out at a backpackers hostel, etc. It should be really fun and a good experience for us. Plus, it is on the coast so we will be able to see the ocean and get fresh fish!!! Then classes resume the following Monday hopefully. It has been really crazy around here but I wouldn't change a thing. There is a really different atmosphere here than in the states and I really enjoy it. Anyway, that is about all that is new. I love everyone and miss you guys!
