Another week, another test

So the last week has been very hectic, lots of study and some very long days. Our topics this week were Geology, Grasses and Trees-a nice big topic for us to try and wrap our heads around. As well as our lectures, we also went on a couple of game drives, (saw some more lions, Elephant at night, and FINALLY found our cheetah) The cheetah and Lions were hunting so while it was great to follow them, it also meant it was at times to keep sight of them-but seeing them do something other than sleep was fantastic. We didnt get to see them make a kill, but watching them move through the bush hunting animals was well worth it.

We also had a couple of presentations to do, each of us had to do a talk on a mammal (mine was Aardvark), and one on a topic out of the Kingdom Plantae from our tree and grasses lecture (instead of our trainer presenting the topic we did most of it).

We were also supposed to do a tree presentation, but this has been put off as the day we were supposed to do it we went to book in to sit our learners test, and ended up sitting there for 7 hours (we did manage to get our eye test done in that time, then spent the next 6 hours waiting to pay and book in, before we got kicked out at 2pm and told to come back the next day, needless to say we left our forms with our driving instructor and he was going to book us in instead). By the time we had had lunch, done some shopping, and got back to camp it was too late to do our talks-shucks :)

On the upside the 7 hours at the driving place did allow for plenty of study even if it was while sitting on a plank against a wall crammed in like sardines, while 50 odd other people around you talked. Then Friday was spent doing another 12 hours study, before our test thismorning-one which I will do my best to forget!!!!! :D
