CIEE Orientation day 3

Today= more Orientation... This lady came to talk about grading at UCT. Surprisingly, 70%-100% is an A! Can you believe it?? She said that most people don't get over 85%. I think they should re-do their grading system... After her pessimistic chant about how we all are going to fail, we had 8 people come and talk about volunteer options. Each site is different, and each site is wonderful. After the presentations, we had our own version of "the amazing race" except here they pronounce it ama-zing! It was basically a scavenger hunt to familiarize us with the UCT campus which is a small city in itself. After the race, a few friends and I took the train to St. James beach which was beautiful! We ate dinner there and then took a taxi back to UCT.
