Happy 18th birthday Seb (Leen’s
brother). We tried and tried to call you
today – none of the internet cafes had headphones, my SA cell phone wouldn’t
connect to the network to call out. So,
sorry for not speaking to you, but know that we are thinking of you and wish
you the best birthday yet! J
We also spent part of the day visiting the
Midlands State University in Gweru, Zimbabwe.
Of all the universities we’ve visited, this was the least organized and
most difficult to navigate. We had a
look at the computer facilities, some classrooms, and chatted with the acting
chair of the Computer Science department.
She was more interested in asking Leen about getting a spot for a PhD at
UCT than in speaking to us about the specific of her department.
We also met up with a group of students who
were really keen to chat to us and ask us about life in South Africa and in the
US. They were (for some reason)
impressed at our academic backgrounds and were encouraging us to come teach at
MSU. I don't think we'll take them up on it, but we enjoyed the tours they gave us around campus.
Looks like you guys have become touring celebrities, whether you want to be or not. :)
