Well, it's been a week since I've posted. I probably should have posted sooner, there must be something interesting that I could have said, but no matter what might have or could have been, I didn't & that's all there is to it I guess. This is the end of the third week of 'B' session, which meant midterms. They weren't called midterms, but the tests we had were cumulative & did cover ½ a semester of information, and since this is, in fact, the middle of the accelerated term, 'midterm' seems to fit.
We had a field trip today (test was yesterday) in botany. Very interesting, but I just can't remember the name of the place. It was meant to be an example of a dry environment. To be fair, there were plenty of cacti & it was technically in a rain shadow, but honestly, dry for Venezuela is not terribly dry (you can see in the pics above that it was raining while we were there). Maybe Dakota dry, but certainly not Arizona dry. Details. It was considerably drier than the surrounding areas.
Hmm, so far the tone of this post feels a little cynical, not my intent, I'll try to fix that. Full week next week, classes M-Th as usual. Friday will be another trip to Mucubaji (very good news), and Saturday & Sunday will be spent at Catatumbo. That means I might have a short post next Friday the 23rd, but probably little if anything sooner than that. Hopefully it also means I'll have quite a bit to post on Monday the 26th.
