Really good to be back. Funny as well.
Yesterday the first year students were out in force trying to sell RITSIMS (the uni mag) to everyone. Even after I'd bought one, students would approach the car at intersections urging me to buy 'nog een' (another one). Late afternoons, when it's cool, and the clouds have built themselves into giant nuclear castles, are just balmy and delicious. I seem to be bumping into people I know all the time. A few days ago I was walking to the Varsity and Justus recognised me off the street. Quite an odd sensation. Ran into his sister Ane and brother and mother when we went to Primi yesterday. Good to catch up, and also notice how much people have changed, or not.
Have had hassles uploading stuff at the university, but it's actually good not to be spending so much time on the net or catching the news. The only downside to being here is that niggling awareness that the security here is a bit questionable. Especially when darkness falls. But life continues here with with pajamas and laughter nonetheless.
