The Wonders of The Cape Point Nature Reserve

The Nature Reserve on the Point of Cape Town :D

Friday, 27 September 2013. This day was one of the most remarkable days in my life. I finally got to experience the most beautiful part of Southern Africa!! Well it might not be the most beautiful to others but it was and still is to me.
I always saw pictures in books and on the internet of what The Cape Point looked like but never have I ever experienced the true beauty of the place itself. Visiting the Cape Point Nature Reserve was one of the things i had written on my bucket list, not really the reserve,but going to Cape Point.

It was cold and very windy en Remonde Cordon hou mos nikis van koud kry nie!!! I was dressed very warm and I made sure that i was getting warm enough to not complain about getting cold all day. Before we left to the reserve one of our lecturers explained the rules and safety tips to us.........one of these were that we should not climb rocks or stand near to cliffs if it happens to be very windy..........I immediately told my friends that they should hold me to the ground because I am seriously so light that it would not be impossible that i would just fly away, soos n stukkie lappie deur die lug.
............tjoh!!!!! Nog nooit nie!!!!
So thank you to Tammy, Nastasja, Laurentia and Dario for being such awesome buddies and not allowing the wind to blow me away. Julle het my dag nog meer fun gemaak met al ons "inside" jokes. sssssshhh!
 :D

well, the wind was extremely strong at the light house when we finally got to the top. From the light house I observed the vast beauty of ocean waves that looked as white as snow when breaking, the ocean was freshly blue and the cool breeze felt so so fresh!! The sight was just so extremely beautiful. One could only experience this beauty when seeing it with your own two eyes.  
The experience was truly remarkable!

The whole point of going on the excursion was to do a Life Science practical. By the look of things on the day only a hand full of the students completed the handout, while the rest of the students ended up exploring the reserve and capturing the beauty of the Cape Point Nature Reserve in the background of the many pictures that they took. 
I really enjoyed the experience, it was truly remarkable!!
 Big ups to the Life Science 151 team for arranging this excursion
BIG-HAPPY-SMILEY-FACE

   

Experience with Life Science 151 thus far......

On entering this course it felt like I knew all the work that was given. Like seriously now,I learnt this stuff at school !!!!! Then the lecturer started throwing this huge words at us such as "semi conservative" and " stroma" and I was like whoa!! hokaai!! whats that??????? This was when it hit me that actually I did not know it all and I actually needed to sit down and listen and do what was expected of me. 

It was hard work learning to adapt to the veranderings and learning to cope with life at campus but I got a hold of myself and I thought to myself, " Look here child neh! You gonna study hard, so hard dat die stoom by jou ore uit kom :D " And I am going to commit myself to my work an this promise I made to myself. For regtag waar!!!!

Honestly, I feel that Life Science 151 is a helpful module in the sense that we spend enough time on certain topics,long enough for us to fully understand the topic and to ask questions if we are not sure. But sometimes the lecture was just too uit------gerek man!!!!!!! and then new things was added that completely confused me sometimes. Therefore,I really do not think that was cool. :( The other thing is that I do not like the whole activity marking process thingy that takes place almost daily in Life Science lectures. I know marking our own work forms part of the learning process but dit help regtag as mense so klein bietjie honest kan wees. Yes people i know we all want good marks and stuffies...........we all know know what I mean by that,so ja!

Life Science 151 practical sessions!!!!!!!Whoop Whoop. By my reaction you can clearly notice....... but I will rather say it-I enjoy practical session,wait scratch that,I would rather say I enjoyed Life Science practical sessions so far :) Jap that sound better.

Overall i feel that Life Science 151 is a great course, I really learnt a lot thus far and I am eager to learn some more. The only thing that i feel should change is the fact that students should not mark their own activities because the majority of students are dishonest when doing so.
