On Saturday Sandra, Nienke, the two American exchange students Megan and Caroline and I went to Spears the cheetah farm. We really had the most amazing experience there. Not just being able to see these animals up so close, but we were actually allowed to touch them! It really was quite frightening though, we could not touch the animals head, legs or tail, we could only stroke its back. We were also only allowed to sit behind the cheetah and if it were to roll over, move or get up and face (which it did) we had to stand up very quickly and walk away fast. Thankfully though we got some really good pictures.
That night we had two parties. One was Vicky's house party, Vicky is a girl that goes to Herschel and is in the same year as us. As we arrived at her house it was raining lightly, but not too bad. Her house was HUGE!! All houses are big here, but this one really was an absolute mansion. We all had a great time here and saw everyone from school. By the time we left Vicky's party it was pouring with rain and while running down the very long driveway we got very wet. Later that night, at about half past ten we went to a club in town called Chrome. The club had been hired as a venue for a party that we were going to, the Cupid Evening Afterparty. The place was absolutely packed, but we had an amazing time. Surprisingly we all knew quite a lot of people there and I even saw the exchange students from St. Cyprians again, it was very nice to see them again.
Now it is Sunday and I have spent the day resting and catching up on all my home work. It has been a very busy week, but the most fun!
