The past couple of days have not been all that fantastic, just for the fact that I have been writing my papers on baboons and elephants. Yesterday was a work day all day and we had our first Swahili class and our teacher is the most fabulous women I have ever met. She has made the class a ton of fun.
Today we went out by Lake Manyara and we counted grass, and looked at different types of grass, it was wild. The only thing that made it ok was the fact we were in Africa and the mountains were around us and it was beautiful. School is so much better when you aren’t actually in a classroom or class or you can feel the breeze the entire time you are in class. We went for a short walk to the shore of the lake and we found the skeleton of what we believe is a baby wildebeest. We found the rib cage, spine, and the entire skull, it was pretty incredible. We also were able to see wildebeest from where we were standing which was pretty awesome. While we were out in the field we also got the news that instead of having to do two more papers we only have to do one. So tonight I’m giving myself the night off to read and blog and maybe watch a movie. Things are still great and I tried to post a picture of an elephant on here but it was taking too long and it just wasnt worth it. Looks like pictures will have to wait until May!
