BUT! I have at least a workable excuse. Yes, I have had time to be updating here for which I am sorry I haven't. These past few weeks- change that, months have been pretty busy.
I may have mentioned to some of you about a possible site change to to Mariental in Southern Namibia, it is now a confirmed change. I will be moving sometime after the school year ends, not sure if that's immediately (I hope so) or before it starts up again.
Part of the reason I haven't updated recently is that has been taking a LOT of my time and effort.
I'll skip the venting of how I (and nearly everyone involved) wanted the site change to be sooner but didn't get it (a lot of work was put into trying to make this happen). Instead I'll just briefly mention that this new site comes with a lot of added responsibilities, ongoing and newly developed.
I'll talk about those later but some topics among them are discussing the status of the ICT program here (it's been put on hold, future status unknown and not looking good), trying to possibly start a new committee, training myself for the new site, still maintaining my work at my current site, etc.
But my last 2 months or so went like this (each item roughly a week or so): prep exams, end of term exams, marking (a.k.a. grading) exams, Mariental, Luderitz, Mariental, Windhoek, first week of term 3, mid-service medical (I'm healthy), 3rd week of school...and that brings us to the present, the 4th week of school. Also Group 30 is finishing up their service here so I've been trying to see some of them before they set off.
Speaking of end of service, I might actually be trying to extend mine. Lots of planning has been going into that too among other things.
So yeah, super busy, I'll try get a good long entry or two in this week but thigns don't look like they'll settle down until after my half-marathon next weekend (or full).......that I haven't trained for. Yeah, wish me luck!
Chris Janes, signing off.
