ah! we have finally reached it. capetown. the magnificent. all semester we've been saying "when we're in capetown..." or "we can get it in capetown" or "you can find it in capetown" so needless to say we are incredibly physched to be here ( yes i'm aware thats spelled wrong. ignore it) wow it seems like forever ago I was in Luteritz, i think i went over dune 45, and i'm pretty sure i went over komanskoppe ummm... that leaves Fish River canyon and the Orange River. needless to say, midterms are pretty stressfull and right now i'm thinking about my history analitical essay i have to write, bleh. Anyways Africa, right. um we went to Fish River Canyon and had science class on top of the second largest canyon in the world, awesome? yeah i know. we had some hikes thrown in, early of course. not that i care, it's coller then anyways. then we made our way to felix unite where we would shove of for our Orange River kayaking trip. let me get this staight, they were notkayaks. they were canayaks (canoes kayaks). anyways basically midterms was jumping out of our canayak, naigating rapids, sleeping under the stars, talking to our guides, learning some afrikaans, swimming down some rapids, having ice cream and getting the best chaco tan ever :) do midterms rock or what? yeah it's kind of difficult to concentrate when the stars are so amazing, but hey you do what you have to right? haha ok well i only have a couple more minutes
sending good thoughts home from capetown!

ReplyDeleteAre you trading any midterm notes, or just studying them?! Next semester is going to throw you for a loop or something when you have to crank it out, as you are an upper classman and all. College comes into the picture, with the added pressure. Bla bla bla ENJOY yourself a little extra for me. P.S. did you find it in Capetown?
