Classes ended today... it sort of marks the beginning of the end.
Exams are beginning early next week, but I've decided to take a little vacation this weekend. Kelly, Raj, Gideon and I are traveling down to the Wild Coast, the Eastern area of Transkei, to a city called Port of St. John's. I guess there are a lot of nice beaches, good hiking, and you can do other outdoors-y stuff like canoeing and horseback riding. I'm hoping it will be a very enjoyable weekend.
The weather here this week left something to be desired... it felt so cold (although it was probably only in the 50s). The sun is peaking out again, and I think it will be warming up for the weekend.
I plan on writing about my reflections on my academic experience here. It's certainly been different than school at home. I just finally got some of my assignments back though, and I did quite well on them. There is only one class that I'm remotely worried about, and that is because I didn't do well on the test -- the professor seems to want regurgitation of the text book rather than an interpretation or application of learned concepts. More on that later...
For now I'm going to finish up a little bit of work and prepare for an amazing weekend. Hope all is well!
P.S. All of my flights are officially scheduled and I will be back in Minnesota the afternoon of June 17th.

I am glad to hear that your classwork ended up better than you were thinking. I know that has happened b4...
Anyway, I still believe your experiences there have been as important or more so than your classroom work.
Have a really great weekend. I will be thinking of you.
