Today was pretty successful. After getting up and finally having a hot shower/bath, Tracey and I decided we would go and say hello to the Land Management department. We took a shot at whether or not anyone would actually be there, but today we got lucky. We got to see Dominic the head of the department and Lucky, one of the professors here at Mzuni. My direct supervisor Felix unfortunately wasn't there, however he had given Dominic a couple course syllabus' that he thought I might like to teach. One is a second year Spatial Information Systems, and the other one is a third year Remote Sensing class. I'm super pumped about the Remote Sensing class, but the second year class should be interesting as well.
I felt really good about getting that information, because now at least I can sit down and start thinking about how I will develop my lectures and the way I want to present the class.
We will be popping in all through the week hoping to catch Felix. Once he is back we will be able to figure out for sure exactly what I will be doing, and how I might be able to fit into some other classes. I'm interested in doing a unit in his cartography class, I think that would be super fun. Other than that we have just been relaxing at home, recovering from our exciting weekend in Luwawa.
I'm not sure if I'm going to go away this weekend, I might stick around to watch the university football (soccer) team play. Last weekend it was a draw, so we're hoping this week might be a win.
I missed father's day on Sunday, but I'm sure my dad had a great time, and I was definitely thinking about him!
That's all for now, but at least it's something productive!!!
