The course has started, and we start to fight with the typical problems, too many lectures to give, not enough staff, not enough room! There are 3 new buildings at the college but they are not finished yet, (they were supposed to be finished one year ago, then they said that they would be ready last autumn, then it was postponed to January, and we are still waiting..)
The students arrived last Monday, but for some of the programs there was no timetable, lecture rooms or lecturers for some of the subjects. On Wednesday they asked me if I could teach an additional course of chemistry for the lab technicians program, so the list of courses that I have to teach keeps increasing.. and I have to prepare my summer school in
Apart from work, we are having a quite hard raining season, I don’t know if you have read the news, but is raining loads in southern Africa due to some kind of meteorological phenomenon called ‘la niña’. Everything looks very pretty, green and lush, but when it rains it seems as if everything is going to be washed away, the internet stops working and there are power cuts that made work (even) more challenging.. all good fun. As you can imagine cycling is not a good option, so I come to work by minibus, which makes the beginning and the end of the day more interesting...
