Updating

Well I guess I have been told by enough people to update that I actually have to.

First off i started the other day looking at MCAT stuff. That is not good. I guess there are only 3 times you can take the MCAT in SA, June August, and April when i leave. I also found out that if i am thinking of doing med school it will mean coming back to the stats and having to wait around a year and a few months. That means i need to find something do do with my life for a year, assuming I ever decide med school is the way to go.

Next off on a better note, I got to see 3 world cup games!!!!!!!!!!! They all ended up being US games, two (Slovania, Algeria) we had before coming down, and the last set (US Ghana) we scalped. WE were trying to pick up some other scalped tickets but had problems. I went to the world cup with a different PCV Ben and his dad. We got into trouble when his did got a stomach ulcer, it was a downer but he got to see one game and was overall happy. We may or may not have been close to being told we were under arrest when trying to scalp ben's dad's ticket at the algeria game (he couldn't go). But tickets were being sold so cheep. (a hundred rand that's like 15 us dollars) Either way just cause there is a law in SA does not mean you can't talk your way out of trouble :-).

Next off I guess I can talk about the 4th. I did the traditional hitchhiking to Rundu along with games, actually meeting the PCV's withen 1000km and a freedom penguin filled with candy, toys and condoms since it was made by a health vol. Don't worry we took a broom and attacked the penguin late in the night (9PM oh how sad a life it is that 9 is late). Its only a 550km ride, and I leave on Friday or Saturday and come back Sunday. It is actually one of the worse things about where I happen to be. It is so far to anywhere or anyone. Our region has less people then most of the others, and we just end up feeling isolated. Though the good part is PC is far away from us. Isolated from a lot of other vol's in the country, but I don't think anyone would ever have a problem with PC leaving us alone, I think that's probably one of the best things our region has going for it, along with wild life and trees, and water, and its not that bad, just so so so so far.
