Hi everyone, its 6 o clock on friday evening, The sun is beginning to set. I have finally been hit by the flu bug going around so not feeling too well. Didnt make it to my placement today which was rubbish but think it would have been really sad watching the other volunteers at Blossom street saying their goodbyes. Yesterday we had a lunch cooked for us by the teachers at school and they took an extended break time. Estelle and i had the grade 2 class again but it went alot smoother this time around.
After lunch we had the final feedback and evaluation session with Tahira the placement manager. It was emotional and sad to think that soon i will be going. Its way too early and i feel like i am just settled now. Most of my group 19 people are leaving tomorrow and 38 new people are arriving. I said bye to Vandana today one of the girls i got on with really well. Im becoming a pro at good bye's now and its easier to say see you soon. The world can be such a small place. At 6 last night we all left for the farewell dinner at this really nice restaurant called mel's kitchen in Rondebosch where we had a really nice meal and then the kareoke started. Was really good fun and the staff came too and got some classic pictures of them singing some African tunes...Tiger Tiger afterwards and saw some of the guys that came on exchange to the island a few years ago which was good fun.
We just came home from tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel. 14 of us girls went together just one last outing before everyone goes their different ways. I am lucky Annie and Carrie my room mates are staying on and so we only have one new person coming in. Rained quite a bit today... we are planning to go and stay in the township one night which is going to be exciting and another experience..theres so much going on here so many stories things to learn about and explore...and so many children with the brightest eyes who are just ready to give you a hug and brighten up your day.. Love K x
