Vascillating Between Blue Skies and Gray Rains

Still a bit of winter in the air as we move into spring in the Southern Hemisphere and those in the north are cooling down.

I am on the tail-end of a horrible cold from last week (took two days off of work), so not much activity. The Rugby World Cup started last weekend in France and South Africa Springboks are hopefuls to win, so i forewent the National Soccer team (Bafana-Bafana) playing Zambia in an African Cup qualifier down the street to watch the Springbok's opening game against Samoa. Tonight they play England - the title-holders and I am excited that the USA is in the same group and so will play South Africa soon.

I have met with parents to start individual therapy with children and expect to actually meet some children for counseling next week (with only 7 weeks left at my internship).

I have been climbing out of my slump and gathering focus. A sermon at church on Sunday was about Joshua and the crossing of the Jordan River and about transition periods. Some time spent with coworkers this week talking about life in first- and third-world cultures, as well as community and attitudes on race in South Africa. Getting back to working on paperwork, making sure my name is on the roster for the board exam in October (currently can't be found).
Remembering that despite my exhaustion in living life these days, this is where I should be and where I should stay for the time being.

France isn't going to win it unless they do alot better. SA should make it deep and hopefully to the final. They looked really good. England not so good against the US. I played lock for the first time the other day. Learn enough yet to know where that is?
