Business in Lilongwe.

Posted in Lilongwe by Dom on July 22nd, 2008

So now it’s Lilongwe. I got a sweet hitch down…not. After sitting on the side of the road for two and a half hours I decided I’d take the first thing I got. It was a car that went about 3km and turned left and drove another hour and a half out into the bush to drop some relative off. So while I got to the road around 8:30 or 9 I didn’t actually get past Jenda (usually about 20min away) until 1. Then he was doing like 140Km/hr (~85mph) the whole way. Think of doing that on Skinner Mill Rd. or Monroe Ave. maybe. I feigned asleep a lot so I wouldn’t have to see what he was doing. I still had to listen to him complain about Malawian drivers since he was from Zambia and feel to car sway and roll through the turns. Anyway, I’m here now.

The responses I’m getting from the schools seem a bit demoralizing. That being said I’m still applying, just with less hope. Most seem rather unsympathetic to my situation. I guess I expected it, I just hoped otherwise. This week I plan on trying to figure out how to get on georgia’s university system website so I can get transcripts sent. That’s my goal.

Dora’s not here though and her absence annoys me. I could have easily found out she wasn’t going to be here, I just didn’t. Now I can’t ask her about things I hoped I could and time goes by.

TJ comes in soon and who knows what we’ll do. He wants to see Victoria falls. So I guess we’ll do that. Otherwise, it all seems up in the air.
