Johannesburg water

I am so angry for what happened over the weekend. The fact of not having any water is alot of stress, thinking that water is a basic need after all.

First it was Eskom with its loadshedding for two days, then the electricity comes back then water shortages by Johannesburg Water. Since these two incidents I always ask myself whether the services provided by these two organistions is perfect enough or will we still need to suffer for what we pay for and need for survival. Well, despite my frustrations everything was then put back in place but I know that sooner or later we will be complaining, but maybe this time it will be more drastic measures.

Back to reality and work

It has been quite a fabulous time I had at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown from 2 July-11 July. Well we had all the resources required for us to cover news stories and events but now it is back to reality. At the University of Johannesburg there has been the whole saga of there being swine flu on the campus. This issue was handled with care and caution and the necessary precautions were in place.

We were all back at campus on 13 July as lectures commenced. As soon as we came back we are already bombarded with assignments and practical classes. Well with all that said I hope to enjoy this semester and improve in all my subjects and marks to finally go to my last year.
