Roomies Roomies Galore!

I met my South African roomies! Finally!! We have a suite of 4 singles, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen. Noa is my Jewish-American roommate from New York who goes to Brown. She’s a really sweet and chill girl with the prettiest green eyes and kind of looks like a petite, prettier version of Alanis Morisette. She’s also vegetarian so we cook together often. We’ve both agreed that our horrible endurance and natural clumsiness would make us perfect running partners as well. My male South African roommate’s name is Sibosiso (Sibu for short) and he’s awesome! He’s this super cute, collar-popping, pink-wearing, Whitney Houston-loving, Xhosa-speaking, hyper and fidgety, lovely being. We have a creeping suspicion that he is gay- this is to be determined. My female South African roomie’s name is Babs and she’s also from the Cape Town area and her first language is also Xhosa. She’s a very solid, grounded, real and strong chick who is studying music education at the School of Music at UCT. She’s really into jazz and does jazz singing. Can’t wait to hear her belt one day! So far, I really enjoy everyone I live with- we’re not best of friends, but they are so respectful, cleanly, and seem genuinely interested and kind. YES! Will keep y’all updated...
