We left Namibia for Cape Town on April 30, so the last week in Windhoek was pretty full of fun and memories. Katelyn and I presented our final integrative project on Tuesday the 26th, which marked the end of my academic work for the semester! For part of our presentation we made fatcakes, which were delicious! We added apples and cinnamon to some of them and it was a hit. If you bribe me enough, I might make some for you. Anyways, on both Tuesday and Wednesday morning we listened to everyone’s presentations. Some of them were really entertaining, like the one based on Namibian soap operas, and one that was a comic book. But mine had the best tasting food.
Our Integrative Project
Thursday was full of cleaning, packing, and partying! We spent the morning attempting to clean the CGE house thoroughly, pack everything that had gotten scattered around the house, and preparing for our goodbye party. Different CGE-ers shared their various culinary talents for the party, which included cheese pizza, chili, and a cupcake cake shaped like Urbanus. All the faculty and staff were present, and a the party ended with a dance party with Eveline, Junobe, and Sarah. It made for a great send-off!
On Friday I walked into Windhoek with some of my friends for some coffee and last minute souvenir shopping on their part. It was probably a good thing we left when we did, because a lot of the girls in the house spent most of the day watching the royal wedding. Now, I enjoy a good wedding as much as the next girl, but I don’t need to spend my last full day in Namibia sitting in front of the TV, watching an hours long wedding thousands of miles away. But we were at least in the same time zone, unlike all those crazy people at home who were up at 3 in the morning to watch the wedding. Even some of the German touristy shops had the wedding on their TVs. The rest of the afternoon was spent hanging out by the pool, and then the party thrown by the Cardboard Box in our favor.
