after spending the entirety of yesterday working on my globalization paper, i turned it in to the sociology dept. today just as the professor was coming to collect the papers. this is because i had to (a) put money on my id card, (b) wait in line for the computer, (c) wait in line for the printer, and (d) find a stapler. it was rather chaotic, and dare i say, africa-esque.
the good news is that my original tutor* (the one who didn't like me because i'm an american) has mysteriously left his post (read: he got fired), and the new one is actually quite lovely. i'm looking forward to future tutorials* with her. she was quite helpful with regard to our upcoming essay.
(* tutor = south african equivalent of teaching assistant, tutorial = equivalent of discussion section)
i have my urban politics lecture in a few minutes, and there's a rainbow alliance meeting tonight that i'm forcing myself to go to. also, my thursday volunteer opp with young in prison has been cancelled (i'm sensing a trend), so now i'm (supposedly) doing it on tuesdays. frankly, i'm not holding my breath.
i'm off to class now. more as it comes.
