SLAMMED!

It's been a while since we posted and for good reason. This past weekend we spent in East London with another volunteer. We had a lot of fun, saw the new X-Men movie, ate some good food, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. So posting to this blog was far from our mind as we soaked in the sunshine of East London.

However, this Monday we were dealt a vicious blow when our laptop stopped working. The last two nights have been a little stale to say the least. Last night we went to bed before 9:00. We depended upon that laptop for entertainment (movies, music, etc.) and work. For Peace Corps we need to submit a report next week based upon our community "integration." We interviewed about a dozen community members, and many of our notes were on our computer. More importantly, we're not crazy about handwriting (what is THAT?) our entire reports. So basically, we've been pretty slammed.

Currently, I (Matt) am in King William's Town hoping to get our computer fixed. I'm waiting for a call back from the technician to see if he can fix it, or if it's even cost-effective. So everyone keep your fingers crossed that our livelihood will be saved! Otherwise, don't expect a fresh blog post for a while.
