Whew, it was hot today. When I got home from work (4 PM or so) the thermometer said 34 °C. We all spent time in the pool today just to stay cool. The past couple days had been much cooler, thanks to the southeaster that was blowing. Overnight, the wind died and we're paying the price today.
Earlier, I wondered who would win (Stellenbosch or CPUT) in terms of getting the administrative stuff sorted out. It turns out that Stellenbosch wins. As of today, I have my Stellenbosch email and web access working. I was able to print at my office, too! Last item is getting WiFi access going at home. At least Tracy's computer is online now.
Catherine had a better day at daycare today. It seems it will take some time for her to adjust to the routines and schedules there.
This evening, we packed Mark's backpack for the first day of school. Tomorrow morning I'll walk with him down the hill for his first day. Should be interesting!
We watched Barack Obama's inauguration speech on the internet at the New York Times website. It is very exciting to see the new president. Everyone I talked to in South Africa supports Obama and wishes him well.
