See what I wake up to every morning.
For breakfast today I enjoyed a delicious baked potato stuffed with egg and yummy waffles for dessert. Yes, we get a sweet “dessert” with every breakfast. Perfection. Unfortunately, in the midst of rushing to get ready and attempting to stay warm, I forgot to bring my camera down to take a picture of it. Tomorrow, for sure.
Three of my classmates pulled all-nighters trying to get their story about the worker’s strike up on the Philadelphia Neighborhoods website by deadline. I envy their strength to get pretty much everything finished, even with multiple technical difficulties, exhaustion, and immense feelings of stress.
This morning I tried to familiarize myself more with the camera equipment since I was traveling to Soweto to do a few interviews for my article. I must say, I am much more confident now operating a camera than I was yesterday.
Working hard after breakfast.
Although my interviews did not go exactly as I had planned, I got enough information to get a good start on my story. I was able to talk to a few hairdressers in Maponya Mall in Soweto.
On the drive back from Soweto...
Joburg at a glance...
When I got back to Melville, Siena and I headed for lunch. We had delicious yiros and ended up meeting Zach and Nick C. for a quick drink before heading back.
At the house, everyone rested for a bit and began writing and editing their stories. It is really fun to be around people so engaged in their work. Plus, everyone’s stories are really interesting, and I am looking forward to seeing the final products of each and every one.
Well, it is about 3 AM here so I better get to sleep... I fell asleep one too many times today, and I know these hooligans I am living with were snapping photos every time I did.
