Reading Week: Soaking the Sponge

Belize-

After Stream Ecology, it was great to mix up the schedule a bit. During Reading Week/Environmental Literature pt. 1, students could chip away at the reading list at will in preparation for Environmental Literature pt. 2, Forest Ecology and Marine Ecology. Just a book, a hammock, the chatter of the Kiskadee birds, and a cup of tea and we were set for the day! And how satisfying it was, after our brains were sponges all day, to gaze over the golden lighted fields and forests in the evening in reflection. Many students found this week a good time to catch up with their host families where they spent last weekend in the local village of Succotz, for dinner, enjoying Succotz home cooking and baking cookies with their Belizean friends. The Student Life Coordinators here at CCSP had plans of their own, and were excited to offer a variety of life skill hobbies throughout the week. With plenty of new material to chew on, and a full week of recharge, we now haste the coming of God and Nature pt. I.
