Been another busy week here, on monday + tuesday i was in the primary school and then i was drafted back into the high school to help out with maths as the kids have their exams now. Its hilarious how over here i'm known as somewhat of a maths and netball expert....little do they know eh?!
School sport has been very good this week. Monday we had a netball match where we won 29-1 but i still ended up having a go at the kids as they have the worst attitude ever sometimes! I gave some of the weaker ones a go and then they complained that they were rubbish - not impressed. Tuesday was U11 football at camps bay. The pitch was a stones throw away from the beach and with the mountain behind it was the most amazing setting ever. We won 2-1 so the boys were very happy. Wednesday we had a netball tournament at the most expensive private school in cape town. It was the sweetest feeling ever to beat them 9-6 when we don't even have a pitch! No problems with attitude problems either so a double result. Thursday was U13 football at another Camps Bay pitch - equally impressive even though not as near the beach. We could only manage a 3-3 draw but the conditions were awful.
Thursday night we went out for Thomas and Vicky last night :( it was a really good night but i'm sad they've both left now. Also means i'm living by myself now which is good and bad at the same time. Its only for a week though as then the others have to vacate their house so the french embassy can stay there during the world cup....don't ask!
Everything over here is building up nicely for the world cup and you can just tell its gonna to go mental, probably from next weekend as it'll be under a week to go. I've managed to get my hands on some tickets and for the other games i'll be alternating between FanFest and my local bar. Also during the world cup my project leader has organised a 'celebrity' charity football match and despite the title i've been asked to play. Not sure who else is playing but he knows a lot of ex-man utd and liverpool players who he is calling on, and hes even drafted in rod stewart! What a joke, me playing against rod!
