seals and rugby

these past few weeks nothing too terribly exciting has happened... just homework and papers and reading and papers and more papers, ugh! but hey, life is still good and i'm loving it here at cornerstone! let's see if i can try and update you on what has gone on so far: 2 weekends ago me, naomi and laine went shopping ALL day long. seriously, after that day, i dont think i ever want to go shopping again. we spent close to 6 hours at the mall because that was the only times we could get rides and none of us are big shoppers... lol i'm pretty sure we were dead by the time chez came to pick us up. but it was a blast hanging out with them, they are 2 of the greatest girls and i feel so blessed to know them! afterwards chez and i got some supper and then just hung out and talked. oh, i forgot to mention, on friday night we went to a rugby game! ok, so honestly, i really wasn't that excited about it because i am bored to death by football and heard that rugby is very similar to it but my expectations were totally blown out of the water!! we went with two of the guys from cornerstone and had such a fun time! if i can get pics from someone i will put them up here... its quite an intense game! sunday was church day as we went both in the morning and the evening (i must admit, the evening service is way better than the morning service but they're both still fun). on monday (which is our free day) Basil, pronounced baaa (like the sheep) -zil, our driver took us all around the cape point where we stopped at camps bay, hout bay, seal island, and cape point (plus many other places that i cant remember). when we got to seal island we hopped on a boat and went for about a 1/2 hour boat ride until we reached an island completely covered in seals! there had to have been at least 300 or so seals on this tiny little island, sunbathing and swimming all day long. while i was hanging off the boat admiring the seals i whipped out my camera hoping to catch a few action shots of the seals jumping into the water. sadly, as i was doing this i accidentally threw my sunglasses into the water! lol it was actually kinda funny but i was a little sad cuz they were real cute sunglasses and i bought them at such a bargain (only $4!!)! so after taking about 50 pictures of seals we headed back and finished up our tour of the cape point. the scenery was absolutely breath-taking. wow, God has done some amazing work out here! i would love to write more but i have been sitting here procrastinating for quite some time and realized i only have 2 hours left to finish my paper, ahhhhh!!
