Where does the time go?

Clearly time has been speeding up, not too sure where the last two weeks have gone, but they have certainly disappeared quickly.

We started the last week of semester with a reptile orientation at a local reptile park-where I hope to be able to do my reptile handling course sometime soonish. The course was more of an onientation and not so much on learning, but we had a bit of a lecture then go to hold a large python, a lizard and feed some monkeys-life is so hard here :P

Then the hard work started for the week, we had lectures on fish and arthropods, which not being my favourite subjects so far, I found slightly more challenging than some of the others-there is also an amazing amount to learn on arthropods, that was always going to be along week-the chapter in the book just kept going and going!

The weather deteriated during the second half of the week so by Wednesday it was cold (15 degrees) and raining, which when you are prepared for summer is not terribly pleasant. We had another rifle dry run, and an aborted game drive, the positive being that we got some extra study time!

Thursday we braved the wet and headed out on a game drive, getting soaked and frozen in the process, and seeing nothing more exciting than our first Leopard Tortoise. The afternoon game drive was again cancelled as we were not going to see anything in the raina and everyone was cold and wet.

Friday was still pretty miserable but we headed into town to pick up our hire car for the week off-4 of us were heading to kruger for 5 days. We had been expecting something like a Corolla, but somehow ended up with a BMW-who can say no to that!

Saturday finally bought some better weather, it had stopped raining and was beginning to get a bit warmer, although still overcast. After the test the rest of the day was spent relaxing, by the end of the semester all we want to do is relax we are so tired!
