Catch Up Blogging

So here is an update for y'all.
I'm no longer living in Pretoria, i've recently moved to White River, Mpumalanga (on the eastern side of South Africa).

i had to leave the country on march 27th because that was when my visa expired. I went to swaziland and treated myself to a nice B and B.

upon my return to SA 2 days later, the jerks at home affairs only gave me an additional 30 days to remain in south africa. as a canadian entering as a tourist i automatically get 90 days. jerks.

i will leaving South Africa on April 28th (a saturday, i mean, couldn't they have given me 31 days, and leave on the sunday?). i still have to book my flight, but that is when i have to leave the country.

I'm not as sad about this as i thought i would be. which is suprising because if i had to leave back when i was supposed to, in february, it would have been kicking and screaming as i was tossed on to the airplane. i guess my time here in SA is finally up and i'm ready to return home. (Though there is still a part of me that will go kicking and screaming, and probably shed a few tears along the way)

i have a ton of work to do in these short 3 weeks, (they're short because there are a ton of bizarre mid-week national holidays in april, like on tuesdays and stuff) as well i have lots of friends to visit and places i want to go and see before i leave. So i will be putting in very long work days so i can goof off and have fun on the weekends and holidays.

Um, thats all the news for now. Will post pics when i can. but for now, just revel in the fact that you are literate and can read the words that i am writing...then go read something more meaningful cause this is a rob-centric blog and honestly, where are a bunch of ramblings about my life going to get you?
