Monday turned out to be quite an awesome day, although I didn't get much sleep before lectures today (probably 4 hours). It started off with being stood up by the health minister. I thought that it was rather remarkable that he was in fact willing to talk to us, but I think that the press kept him occupied which left us having to leave to go to lectures. The campaign that he was launching is a great initiative to try and curb HIV infection rates in the country. By proactively offering testing all around the country it promotes social responsibility to in fact be tested for HIV.
After university I had to help out at the street party. It was a lot of work and I really hope that we will make some money out of it. Saw Wezley and Bernard playing rugby which was awesome (even more awesome was the fact that they beat a lot of the people that I know from high school). We only finished at around 1 am and I still had to drive home (an interesting task when you are really tired). The rugby club really needs to work on the basics to make things work, because a lot of things were just illogical.
Someone brought up something yesterday that was interesting. She asked whether I chose to be single. I do think that it can be a choice...but not so much in my case. I suppose that we often put it down to waiting for the right person. That's what I am doing, just waiting for someone that I can talk to.
I just saw the Johnny Walker advertisement on TV and to say the very least it is motivational... Although having a marathon runner promoting alcohol is a bit of a cop out. When things get hard, just keep walking, or if you would rather, Swim (Jack's Mannequin).
