Last day of IP! We started off the day with a game drive, on which we saw a black rhino (EXTREMELY RARE TO SEE) as well as ungodly amounts of baboons. It was so amazing. Then, we sat down to work, thinking that we could finish up in the morning and have the afternoon to just relax. Boy were we wrong. It took us the entire morning (9-12) to edit our introduction. It was a long, grueling process of disagreement and misunderstandings, and by the end, we were all very frustrated. After lunch, we got right down to it, working hard to crank out the methods, results and discussion, as well as acknowledgements, literature cited and an abstract. We finished just in time, turning in a full draft at 4:45, 15 minutes shy of the deadline. That night we had a party, of which the theme was “dress your friend.” I dressed colin as a pervasaurus rex (story if you ask), and I got dressed as an 80’s tramp, complete with gawdy make-up and humongous hair.
