Running and Walking

After dropping the kids at school (via taxi again), I went for a long run. Thereafter, I brought Tracy and Stephanie’s paperwork to the bank on my way to the Institute of African Studies (IAS), where I worked most of the day.

Unfortunately, I realized (when I got to the IAS) that I forgot the keys to the Calvin office. Nuts! I had to walk all the way back across campus to get the keys, then down the hill again. A wasted half hour. My core temperature had not come down after the run, and I was very uncomfortable. Note to self: don’t walk the campus three times after a run.

While I was at the office, I learned that our bank responded to my request to add Catherine’s school to our list of available SWIFT recipients. So, I was able to pay her tuition bill. In return, she received her school uniform which she’ll wear for the first time tomorrow.

After dinner, Catherine did some science homework on the couch. Mark had none, because of the exams. He said the math exam was easy, but the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) exam was impossible.
