Last weekend was so much fun. Most of us went on the
Garden Route, where we were able to do a variety of things. Friday we
went on a safari ride, which was more fun than I expected. Our tour guide was
full of so much information ( I learned so much about different species of
animals!). I hope one day I can have a job where I learn about the environment
and different species! I think that is fascinating. I also like how the reserve
did not name the animals.. I think it’s important to keep wild life separate
from pets/ naming animals. Wild animals don’t need names.
Saturday we were able to bungee jump off of the
world’s tallest commercial bridge! It was actually quite terrifying. I realized
i’m scared of heights, but it was such a good experience. I recommend everybody
doing it, even if you’re scared!
We also were able to pet elephants on Saturday.
It didn’t feel that ethical because the place we went to had the elephants do
tricks for us.. which isn’t what they should be there for. I also don’t know
how humane 2 acres of land for 5-9 elephants is… I think next time
decided to be interactive with animals, i’m going to have to do some more
research to see what it’s all about.
As for Sunday, we went through the Cango Caves!
It was so great. I was nervous I wouldn’t be able to fit between some of the
tight spaces, but I did and it was such a great experience. It’s mind-blowing
to think that we were in the center of a mountain…. planet Earth amazes me
every single day. We should be nicer to a planet that gives so much to us
:)
As for academics, school is going great! I’m really
enjoying the classes and information i’ve been obtaining. I’m excited to see
where this year takes me.
