Just outside my office you can see Devil’s Peak. It’s one of four mountain structures (Signal Hill, Table Mt, Lion’s Head) that are considered major tourist attractions. I haven’t hiked up any yet. Some friends want to do a sunset/moonlight hike up LH tonight b/c there will be a full moon. It’s hard to coordinate ppl though. We’ll see if it happens.
Jocelyne leaves today and Deren left on Sat. Milena seemed sad even though she’s spoken for. Note to self: Milena’s car has the same rancid smell the “Green” room had when I first arrived. I wonder if there’s a connection. Titi ran up a R4000 fee and never paid it. He’s blacklisted at backpackers in SA. This weekend I intended to go to Stell, but just wound up being lazy. Some others hiked the Table yesterday and another group went on the Point tour Sat. I wanted to go up in the cable cars, but they are never open. I think I’m content w/ the amount of touristy activities I’ve completed. I didn’t make it out to Long St for Shingi’s Bday/Deren’s farewell. Ppl just tend to take too long to get out of the Ele. All the drinking and smoking just puts me off. It certainly doesn’t help that I have a cold. We also saw a Rugby match on Fri. DHL Western Province got their asses handed to them by the Durban Sharks. Rugby bores me to tears. I think I’ll stick to American sports. Another German girl came by for the weekend. She wasn’t the friendliest of ppl. Just kept to herself. Bought a painting at Green Pt flea market yesterday. I think I’ll give it to Christina. Went to Kauaui again and had another wrap. We need more Hawaiin cuisine in NYC.
I’ve just completed the the file work I was assigned. It was literally the second time I worked on it. Last week the doc was out of the office for courses. We had to carry the files ourselves to and from the hospital. Miserable. There are a few more patients and fields I need to clear up, but I don’t imagine that taking too long. Looking over the files is frustrating. Data is crossed out or corrected with whiteout. E-mail printouts are used as lab reports. Also, the one inconsistency I can never seem to reconcile are patient deaths. I haven’t come across a single completed death report. It can’t be too great being a patient here.
One more week till I’m home. School will be absolute torment, but it’s now or never.
