Normal days!

I have been planing to write several times but each time I start I feel there is nothing to write about. Then, a few nights ago I was thinking maybe I should write what a normal week has become here in Stellenbosch.

Monday:
My goal each Monday is to be at the gym or swimming pool by 7, exercise, go home and eat a breakfast with eggs and beans. However, it is not always I manage that, but it is my vision. We have a class in Southern African Political Economy at 2, so when I get to start the day early I have some hours to read before class. Our teacher in this class is not my favorite. She gives us old articles, is unstructured, no red thread and seems almost uninterested in being a lecturer. After class I have 1,5 hours until french where I usually eat something, have a coffee and think on something else. In french class am I usually rather tired and not the most interactive student. That beside, my french is improving. It is still on a to basic level for communicating, but I understand much more and recognize more when I am reading. Hopefully in a months time I be ready for speaking a little. I also meets a friend sometimes that helps me. She is usually talking in french, asking me questions and I have to try to answer. I also meet some french people now that I hope to meet more often later. After my french class I usually go home or I meet someone out or I go back to the library to read.

Tuesday:
My vision is once again to go to the gym or pool, whichever I did not go to on Monday. My class starts again at 2 and I like to read before class. The lecturer today is on the contrary a very good. Her class, Research Methodology, is normally not the most interesting, but she makes it easier and very relevant for the master thesis. I have 3 hours from the end of this class until my Spanish class and I usually use those in the library. Spanish classes are more informal. We are 4 or 5 and everything goes in Spanish. We get some short stories and poems to read some days before and in class we talk about those stories. In weeks there are champions league I watch football in the evening, if not I just go home after class.

I write about the next days in a few days. I got tickets to two of the World Cup games of a friend in class. So I will see Portugal - North Korea and Italy - Paraguay here in Cape Town. That made my day when I found out, and the next day as well. So now I can just relax and focus on school.

Last Friday I went on my first wine tour. It was with an international student organization and we visited 4 farms and tasted 20 different wines. I like it, but I have a lot to learn. I do know how to distinguish between red and white, but more than that is not for me.
Got to go to class
