How did the summer schooling go? Was it enjoyable?
Anyway, welcome back!

Welcome back Jono, I was just wondering where you went, I haven't seen you around for a while.

Yes, I did actually enjoy it. It was a bit tiring though, with lectures from 9:00 AM until 18:00 PM every day for the past three weeks. The only thing I regret is that I got flu during the second week and I missed a chunk of Jim Gates' lectures (the string theorist), although I did come in late to that lecture at about 10:00 AM. They did make a video of that lecture but I'll only get a copy much later.

No, I wrote the time in 24 hour clock format. It was actually 6:00 PM. It wasn't really like a camp. The accommodation I stayed in was like a guest house but it's like living in a hostel. Stellenbosch is really a student town. It's a town where 90% of the population are university students, i.e. all the students from Stellenbosch University actually live there. Most of the remaining 10% of the population are wine farmers (the one other thing Stellenbosch is known for).
As for the lectures, there wasn't just one lecture each day but a few. We stopped to have lunch at around 1:00 PM and there were also three or four coffee breaks during the day. That as well as the fact that we usually also had a discussion session in addition to the lectures in which we were divided into groups according to our academic level where we could ask the lecturers questions as well as get up to speed with the work. All in all, what I was saying is that all that lasted from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM every day.

Sounds like fun. I'd like to do something like that in the future.
