SUN – Stellenbosch University’s domain name.
Well, we went there today and we saw absolutely no SUN at all. In fact, it was cold, grey and wet. And maroon – everywhere.
But while the ubiquitous maroon is pretty ugly, you can’t blame the University for the weather. We had a good look around campus and sat in on a couple of interesting seminars as the various faculties took us through their offerings.
There’s another year before LM 6000 needs to apply, but it’s good to see what’s out there. And we weren’t the only ones: so many familiar faces, it was like a Southern Suburbs day out. We could have added some wine or brandy on the way home, but we chose to be good, and got back in time to watch a nice United away win.
That’s not it, though. UCT next weekend, and we’ll be heading to other institutions over the coming weeks to try and work out just what’s the best course in the best place.
Right now, it’s time for some of last night’s curry, in an effort to warm ourselves up. More rain tomorrow onto an already saturated Western Cape: the dam level figures should be worth a look on Monday.
