Farewell

This was the schedule for us this week.

Monday: Youth Day! Don't go to work.
Tuesday: Meeting with our professor 9am-10am, but that's enough activity for the day. Take the rest of the day off.
Wednesday: No planned activities...work on your project?
Thursday: Consolidation day- take the day to reflect on what you've accomplished this week.
Friday: Farewell! Please come into the office so we can properly say goodbye.

Africans are funny.

Despite being a tad stir crazy, this week was a nice reflection week. I completed a lot of my work that was due this week. If you are interested in reading my fieldwork reflection paper, let me know! It's riveting.

I can't believe this is my last day. I'm trying to soak everything in knowing that I won't see the beautiful savannah of the Limpopo province for a very long time. I hope you have enjoyed following along with my travels! I get home July 1st and then I will have my US phone =). I really do miss my iPhone.

Tomorrow at 6 am we leave for Capetown. At least, we told the transport to get us at 6 am. So we might actually leave at 9. Who knows. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to fit everything into one suitcase because I literally bought up the whole place. The problem with shopping in South Africa is that EVERYTHING is cheap, and it's hard to make yourself stop buying EVERYTHING.

And then I'm sure, I will go crazy in Capetown as well. On our agenda we have a wine tour, a visit to Robben island, the beaches and shopping, and of course going out. We can't stop screaming AHHH CAPETOWN. I think we all have a little cabin fever. I'm not sure if I will have internet access in Capetown, so to reach me, here is my south african cell phone number. +27 084 484 0141.

But don't get crazy, airtime is expensive.
