Human RIghts Training Weekend

Julian: another eventful week


It isn’t really a problem to find something to write about. The problem is trying to pick what to write about. It was yet another eventful week here in Cape Town. I think I’ll start with last weekend.

So, most of us were at Table Mountain. We arrived at the trailhead about two hours after we had planned. On top of that, we realized that we didn’t really know where we were going considering there is somewhere around 300 trails on the Table Mountain Range. After talking to a few people we found a route that took us up across and down the mountain. Logan and I pulled ahead of the group and soon realized that our PB&J’s weren’t enough food to last us, but we made it through nonetheless.

Things are continuing to pick up at the internship. Taylor and I finally had the opportunity to create a lesson plan before being thrown into a classroom alone.  This time it was on the French Revolution, but my knowledge on the subject was pretty limited. I say “was” because I’ve practically memorized the entire Wikipedia article on the revolution since then.

I’ve also realized that I’m probably having too much fun. I figured this out today when I realized that I’m still in school and I actually have work to do. Between starting an eight page research paper, doing seven online postings and writing this blog today was an uneventful day. But I’m also getting ready to leave to climb Lion’s Head for a sunset hike and go out to long street tonight… so life could be worse.
