I thought this might be a good idea…

1/20
To Do List for the semester:
-learn an African language, ideally xhousa (the one with the clicks!)
-travel to Zimbabwe!
-befriend UTC students (and international students as well)
-participate in a fulfilling volunteering project
-sand surf in Namibia
-see the Big 5 (and giraffes!) as well as penguins at boulder beach
-Robben Island.
-stay for the opening of the world cup
-travel the garden route
-hike Table Mountain and Lion’s Head
-join the UTC running club and run a half marathon
-learn some new cooking skills/recipes from my African roommates
-shop at an authentic African market
-see a rugby game (and maybe learn how the sport and cricket work)
-travel to a township and actually interact with people there
-learn about the political system in South Africa
-shark cage dive (it might help getting over that fear…)
-bungee jump or sky dive (the highest point in the world is in SA!)
…and keep a decent GPA of course

It’s a lot but I know it’s definitely possible! And I’ll probably continue to add to this throughout the semester
