Is this for real?

So after 2 full days of flying half way across the world I'm finally in South Africa!!!! 2 VERY long sleepless flights and a 12 hour layover in London, where I did manage to have a Guinness and stop by the Harrods and Duty Free stores, I arrived in the most beautiful country I have ever seen.  From the staggering cliffs and vinyards in Cape Town to extremely diverse coast of PZ it's really incredible how vast and changing the landscape is! I'm staying in this little quaint cottage-like flat full of international students, apparently.  I'm stuck with 6 of the coolest most awesome people I could have ever expected.  2 southern gentlemen from Ol Miss, Alyssa from Rhode Island who belongs on the Jersey Shore, another very nice girl, Tosh from NYC, Kendall from Nebraska, and Boone from Washinton.  We all have "class" together which consists of the most interesting and coolest guest lecturers for a few hours a day and a final scrapbook project at the end of the month. We live in this flat apartment place and have become so close in just the last 2 days. Today we went on a Safari and got way close to some beautiful animals! We payed around 5 dollars to play with and pet Cheetahs and i had giraffe poop in my mouth for some South African game they play.We're having so much fun and have so many exciting things planned for this month.   This is going to be so much fun.
