Strike was over before it began...

The strike was very effective here at UNAM. In one day, the staff got their demands met, and school is back in session. Although classes started officially two weeks ago, many students are still trying to register for classes and in many classes less than half of the students are attending. I'm just co-teaching courses this first semester, so I am not having to deal with the hassles of new students joining class every day for the first three weeks of school.

I now have an office, with electricity, furniture, a telephone and an internet hookup (still waiting on a computer, which may never come). It took a very clever Oshiwambo speaking person on the faculty here to yell at the right person for this to happen.
