When we got to Newlands stadium, we had quite the ordeal finding our seats. After climbing a million different stairs and asking a million different people (who worked there) for help and them pointing us in the wrong direction we finally found someone who knew what he was talking about. The direction he pointed us in was right next to the first place we asked—of course it would be, right?
It was pretty chilly, but we still had a really fun time! It was my first rugby match and it was cool watching it and trying to figure out what was happening. People were waayyy into it and although the game wasn’t very intense (we won like 35 to 13 or something), everyone still managed to get riled up.
After the game we headed to the Milton house (another VAC house) where they were having a braai. We brought Phomudzo—where he was quickly showing off his sweet Michael Jackson dance moves—and everyone had sooooo much fun playing drinking games and hanging out.
Most of the people at Milton are leaving for a trip to Mozambique on Wednesday and Liz and I leave while they are still gone so this party was like our last big hurrah. I’m really going to miss everyone and it’s going to be weird to have to do a big goodbye a week before I actually leave.
Later in the night all of the miltoners brought out a paper banner thing that everyone had signed that said “bye Oregoners.” It was soooo cute and even made me tear up a little (but that’s no surprise). A couple group pictures later we headed out to the bars and then to reload to finish an amazing day off with some dancing (as always). Another 5 am night at reload…couldn’t have been better.
