So today we have heard that campus is officially closed until the 16th of February. Hopefully. The student protest leaders were quoted in the newspaper as saying that as soon as school re-opens they will start again, but they will be working on a peaceable outcome all week.
Because of UB being closed our spring break is cancelled and they have extended the semester by one week. So we need to all have our spring breaks next week.
Jon, myself, and three other students are going to be leaving on a 630 am bus to Johannesburg. We will stay there for 1-2 days and tour Soweto and the Apartheid Museum. After that we are going to Lesotho, a tiny little country in the middle of South Africa, that is at a crazy high elevation and is very very traditional. Hopefully we'll get to ride ponies through the village and see some witch doctors and schools. The lodge we will be staying at is also next to the highest waterfall in Africa, and you can rapel down it. Though I doubt we will be brave enough to do so. After that we may visit Swaziland, or Mozambique, and then we will return to campus the weekend before classes start. I have a ton of laundry to do!
I hope everything is going well at home, and definately also check out Jons blog (www.aajd.blogspot.com) and we'll have a whole bunch of new pictures next week!
