Class and Research

The first thing we talked about in class this morning was clarifying that everyone had the professors numbers in case of emergency.
We covered the logistics of shark cage diving for tomorrow including when to eb on the bus, who should take dremamine, and what the day would consist of.
We discussed the 5 stages of group dynamics, forming, storming, norming, preforming, and adjurning. We also concluded that our group is still in storming stage :-/
During class we also did a short personality test. I turned out to be an East, Im detailed and have to have a plan for everything before moving on. Amber turned out to be a north, wants to get things done asap. We complement each other so well as partners. During camp we were able to balance out eachothers strengths and weaknesses. For example, if we were in a rush to get something planned Amber could take the lead and get it done while convinsing me that it would work out without a deffinite plan. By taking a look at this we also analyzed our campers in regards to this personality test. We concluded that Yvonne was a west, dreamer, joanne was a north, get it done, and Lindo was a south, caring. so we had a mix of personalities but did not seem to have much clashing.
At 11:00 we headed out by bus to the Cape Town fan park to do some research on the International perceptions of South Africa.
Once we had completed all 12 surveys Amber and I grabbed some food and drinks then headed out to Green Market Square for yet some more shopping! And in search for a necklace thats pendant is the shape of africe with 3 figures inside. Greenmarket Square is a large area where people set up tents to sell their products. We bartered with some people but didnt succeed in getting the prices we wanted so we moved on. At about 4:20 we found a cute stand with jewlery that was already reasonably priced so we took a look around, mind you we had to get on the bus at 5. Amber ended up being able to take the prices down incredibly, she left with 2 necklaces and two bracelets for only R200 roughly $30.With only minutes to spare Amber spotted the necklaces we had been looking for all day. I tried to stop her because I thought she just wanted to look at more jewlery. We left the tent with 2 africa necklace for R250, not bad considering they are sterling.
Back to Wellwood for dinner and internet!
