The Fishies

Sorry it's been a while. I've been pretty busy so that's been good.
Last Wednesday after core course I went to Jolly's for pizza and then we went to this bar called Gin and hung out there for a while. It was really fun, the music was good and we just sat around and had drinks.
Friday was my LHR training. Caroline, my co-intern, picked me up at 7:30am and we went to this place called the Cottage's for the day. There were people from both the Pretoria and Durban branch of LHR. We went over the basics of LHR and the process of asylum seekers coming to SA and what our role is. It was good to learn this information after having been at LHR for a while because I could relate it to my work. We had a really good lunch and short snack breaks and then we finally ended at 5pm. Tarek, his friend Anais who is at the Pretoria branch, Lewis, and I waited at the Cottage's for Tarek's friend and Anais' boyfriend Chris who then drove us to Jacob's for dinner. Jacob is the director of LHR, his house is really nice. There were a lot of people there, including Kaajal and her husband, it was nice to see them again. We ate Thai food and cous cous and spent a few hours there before going to Melville. Melville was good, I hadn't been there in a while and we just went to some bar and chilled before Chris gave me a ride home.
The weekend was pretty slow, Sunday I spent the day writing my Culture essay.
Tuesday I had a test in Philosophy, ick, but I think it went ok. Then that night we went to a club called Carfax for a concert with KCM. Jaya works there so she got us VIP tickets. Goldfish, a SA band was playing. We got there at 10pm, hung out for a while, I met up with Lewis and his friends, and then Goldfish went on at midnight. They were AMAZING! One of the guys played sax and flute and he was sooo good. One of the singers hung out by the stage when he wasn't performing and I ended up standing by him for most of the concert. I told him his band was amazing and he thanked me. It was funny because girls kept coming up asking to take pictures with him and one girl even had him sign her stomach.
We got home around 3am.
Wednesday was Heritage day which is a national holiday. So we didn't have any class, I spent it being very lazy but it was nice to relax for a bit.
Tonight we are taking the bus to Durban for the weekend. I hope it's fun!
