so i'm missing my first day of work and i am horribly horribly bored. perhaps its because my foot actually hurts even more now to the point that i cannot even stand and am completely confined to my flat, popping antibiotics and advil liqui-gels like it's nobody's business. perhaps my right leg muscles will become super-human strength from hopping around like a fucking gimp.
so i'm gonna take this time to share some learnings about telling TIME in south africa. this is what i have learned:
"just now" = anywhere from 5 min ago to like 7 hours from now
"now now" = soonish, more 'now' than "just now"
"later" = never
now i know that when my supervisor says she's coming back to me 'just now', i should just carry on without her or go hunt her down in 15 min time. and i feel that my foot will get better....later. i hope i don't lose a foot in africa, wouldn't that be a story to tell.
oh btwwww, for the 3 of you that aren't on facebook, check out my last posted album as i added some photos and also here are my photos from my fun day in gugz and kaiheyletsha:

aaanyyyyywayyyyys, i just wrote yesterday so i don't have much to report as i haven't been able to do anything. but i am to write a weekly 2 hr journal for my practicum liason about what i am doing at work and such sooo i thought if anyone wants to read about what i ACTUALLY do here and not just my bullshit ramblings, please let me know and i will email you my first couple entries. it's glorious stuff about UNHCR definitions, lies & deceit. bedtime reading, you know? so just let me know if you are interested! i will now continue to lie here in pain, stare out at the sunshine, and weep on the inside.
