Really, not much exciting is going on here. This weekend, I did some serious work on my tan. Friday night, we went to a nightclub called Trekkers, which was a lot of fun, but they didn't serve water at the bar. What kind of nightclub doesn't serve water at the bar? Needless to say, I was a tad bit dehydrated the next morning...
Sunday we played cricket. That is one strange game. I'm not very good at it (like most sports).
I've spent the last two days at a computer at the Harry Oppenheimer Okavango Research Center entering and analyzing spreadsheet data from Kaziikini. I've got some cool charts and graphs and stuff.
I am constantly reminded how awesome this group of students is. We hang out together every night at dinner. Pun (token Asian) managed to put out the fire that was consuming my stove. Cheap stove. But don't worry, I saved the rice pudding. Tiny vicious ants are taking over our campsite, but I've managed to keep them out of my tent so far. They have not yet succeeded in chewing holes through the bottom of it, like they have in others' tents.
On Sunday, I found a PERFECT avocado. Anyone who eats avocados knows how satisfying that is. I whipped up some vinegared rice and had some seaweedless sushi. It was lovely.
That's about it. I wish I had more interesting stories to share, but there aren't a lot of elephants around Sedia. And I'm too preoccupied with tree data to philosophize.
I hope that didn't sound like I'm not enjoying myself; this place is amazing. For some strange, masochistic reason, I actually like playing around with a spreadsheet for six hours straight. It's really rewarding to make a pretty graph. And then I can go back to Sedia and swim until dinner. Or nap. I love school.
