Ran again this morning. Almost died. Fun. We had a lecture packed day today, and really didn’t have any field work at all. In the morning, it was a conservation lecture, and the first time we heard from Melissa. Then we had a short lecture from Laurence about savanna ecology, and what to look for in terms of differences. The rest of our time in the classroom was devoted to learning tricks and tips on excel. The beginning was silly, as I know a lot of short cuts already, but the end was very helpful in terms of biostatistics. The weather, however, was NOT conducive to being outside, as it was ungodly hot. Even the south Africans thought it was hot, and Laurence offered to postpone our lecture to a cooler part of the day. We declined, being the hearty people that we are, and then finished the class in agony.
After class, we were hanging out, when we realized everyone was going to go swimming. I rushed to put on my swimsuit, and jumped in the bucky. We went back to the same bird hide and just mucked about in the overflow from the river. An epic mud fight broke out, as can be proven by a shot to the face and one in the ear that I received. Tonight, we elected our student committee, and showered all the mud off. Word of the day (and yesterday): Day = Seeku, Night = Vuseeku.
The Joke
It's a frickin' elephant
A class of five-year old students are learning to read.
One of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
"Look at this! It's a frickin' elephant!"
The teacher took a deep breath, then asked... "What did you call it?"
"It's a frickin' elephant! It says so on the picture!"
And so it does...
