Week-End Update
I know, I know, I'm a day late with this update. I must admit that I've been quite lazy this week. I had meant to write all about our trip to see the waterfall, which took place last Sunday, but I simply never got around to it.
Yesterday Mediha, who works here at the centar, found out that she had a lot of Viruses, Trojans and Spybots on her computer, so I spent the day wrestling control away from the bad stuff. I think I'm winning the battle. It took about an hour or so to run the anti-virus software (avast, sigh). I had to install FireFox and Spybot in safe mode, it seems her computer was living in the middle ages without them. Let that be a lesson to all of you! I'm also going to install ad-aware and Super Anti-Spyware (if it can download faster than .3 KB/s). Zone Alert Firewall is also doing it's job, so overall, this thing should be a fortress when I'm done.
Other than that, we're almost done here. We've got just over a week left, we leave on Aug 7. After that I travel with Allen, check the bottom of this page for more details.
The Americans are leaving on Sunday. I'm sad to see them go, as for the most part they are really good people. They're friendly as anything, and they really enjoy coming here. They drink, smoke and swear a bit too much for my liking, but that's not really a factor. They live a busy lifestyle though, going out almost every night and plenty of travel.
We're going to see them off at the airport tomorrow, after seeing the Pyramid in Visoko and travelling around Sarajevo. The weather looks clear, so maybe I'll have some good pictures on Monday.
It seems that my computer at home has stopped working. While this fills me with unmeasurable sadness, I have begun planning a new computer, which has filled me with unmeasurable excitement.
The best case scenario is that I have an awesome computer up to current standards and I can fix my current computer and give it to my brother.
The worst case scenario is that I some how catch fire.
The Likely scenario is that I'll fix my current computer, not have the money for the new one, my brother will get some eMachine from bestbuy and that computer (and possibly my brother) will catch on fire. That situation would fill me with a manageable amount of sadness. At least I'll have a computer though.
There have been complications with my camp visit, so if anyone feels like driving up to muskoka one day, go ahead and send me a email. I actually think things will work out well, so I'm not too worried.
Thanks everyone for the comments, I love reading them.
