ISP and Ushaka

After a beautiful, sunny saturday where my plans of a boat ride with Sarah fell through, I worked on ISPP for most the day.  While I had thought I would start later than that, I had some much to say and consider, it mostly poured out of me (that was a weird analogy-thing, maybe I should be a life-long researcher or academic thing)  anyway, it was a long day broken up only by a swim in the pool and then dinner out with my apartment at Mo Noodles which was delicious.  Then I brushed up on my pool playing skills while drinking some, it was so FUN! The guys at our hostel told me I had to chill after my long day of writing and they were so right!  

On Sunday, as a reward and as part of a plan we had already made, we (sarah and I) went to Ushaka Marine World.  There was a combo ticket discount, so we got into the water park and the aquarium for half price.  It was a really windy day though so we did not get into our bathing suits at all.  Instead we saw sharks that they were attempting to feed, stingrays getting fed - so cool! - by a diver, and a dolphin show.  As well as all sorts of other cool sea creatures and things that were really poisonous.  Like poison dart frogs and a black mamba snake - that was awesome! Then in the evening to thank one of our staff, Langa, we had him over for dinner.  We made a pretty successful lasagna and had salad and yummy cookies for dessert.  Mostly we talked about the program and our feelings about going home.  It was so fun!!

Today, I am just working on my ISP and its edits.  It is an long, tedious process, but I am feeling really good about my progress!! Yea!
