A Rainy Day for History

Sunday we were given our first taste of what our long lecture days will look like.  After a 7am breakfast we started history lectures at 8 and went straight through to lunch at 12:30.  After lunch, we had a statistics intro lecture before heading right back into history until 5pm.  It was really interesting to learn a whole new country’s history.  My history education throughout primary school consisted of topics that directly affected the US and significant world events.  Being exposed to the history of an entirely different country has been fascinating!  South Africa’s history is certainly rich and complex and definitely worth Googling or better yet, researching!

When the last history lecture ended, we were all shocked to find that the only item left on the day’s schedule was dinner at 7!  A small group of us went for a walk and found a Monet-esque pond complete with lilly pads and small dragonfly-like insects.  We also found a rather sketchy bridge made out of a couple of logs that led to yet another gorgeous view of the game reserve!  Today has been rainy and cold, but a nice refresher after several hot, sunny days.  Tomorrow is another solid chunk of history and stats, followed by yet another identical day after that.  Wednesday we start getting into more science, so I think we are all anxious for the real fun to start!  I know I keep promising pictures, but I promise they are coming as soon as my internet connection allows!  Not many to share yet though, so hang in there!
