Day 6: Stayed up way too late excited about internet finally working in our flats. Slept in a little and got ready for the game. The seven of us went to the Botswana versus Madagascar soccer game. It was a qualifying game for the World Cup, South Africa 2010. It was so much fun! We met two guys there – Lucas and Hope who were super friendly and funny. Game ended 0-0 and the Botswana Zebras will have to travel to Madagascar for a rematch. I think we will attend another game in two weeks.

Day 5: Friday. Woke up early due to cheerful students and others wandering around outside my window. It was a really relaxing morning – unpacked the rest of my things and made breakfast before my flat mates woke up. Went over to get the boys around noon. Walked to Riverwalk and hung out at a really cute little coffee shop.
Trying to become more familiar with campus – slowly but surely. Visited with Charity who is contacting our service sites – appointments on Moday at 9am at Mokolodi game reserve and at 2pm with the Thalemo feeding project and education centre in a nearby village. I think we will be more than ready to visit the sites and start volunteering by Monday.
Attending a national qualifying soccer game tomorrow at National Stadium just across the street from the UB. Should be an exciting afternoon. Meeka cooked the seven of us a homemade dinner and Jack and I met a few new friends.
