Went to Dexter's house last night for a birthday party. When I went over there last, before Long Street, I met his housemates. Most of them were going to a nightclub called Tiger Tiger. My closest friend in my house, Anna, went out the same night to a club (along with almost every American abroad student here). The next morning over breakfast we were looking over pictures from the previous night. In them, was her friend, David, from home. I immediately realized David was one of the guys I met at Dexter's house as he was waiting for a cab. I love how small the world is, even on the other side of it! Plus, now I have someone to cab there and back with.
Anyway, his place is huge. It has courtyards everywhere with fountains, wooden floors, pseudo-Roman antiques, and a lot of character. The house right across the street has jacuzzis, chandelliers, and balconies, and the one next to that has a pool. My jealousy has definitely not faded. Everyone here has thankfully been super friendly; we're definitely all trying to make as many friends as possible, as quickly as possible. It's been great having a bit of comfort from home to ease that process.
Oh, and I think these are my classes, though they aren't finalized yet:
Gender, Sex, Religion
Developmental Psych
Clinical Psych
Film in Africa and South Africa
Classes usually meet 4 times a week, with smaller meeting sections called "tuts." This schedule also means that on Mondays and Thursdays I only have class from 10 to 1 and will have the afternoons to do whatever, which should be great.
