We had Emmanuel clinical today. We got to the container and waited for the NMMU students to arrive. It was a chilly day today and of course I didn’t bring a jacket! Our partners came and we all began to walk to our patient’s house to do our education intervention. It was very successful today because she was very receptive to what we were telling her and she seemed genuinely interested in what we were teaching her.
After clinical, Christy and I worked on our poster presentation that we have to give on Monday at Kleinskool on sex education in relation to condom use and the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases other than HIV/AIDS. We are focusing on Chlamydia, Herpes, and Syphilis because no one seems to know anything about STDs besides HIV/AIDS. We then had our political science class, and I was so tired. I felt so bad because I couldn’t keep my eyes open for the first hour of class. It wasn’t that the topic was boring, it was just that I haven’t been getting much sleep. But we began talking about the Freedom Charter, and I found that very interesting so I perked up the last two hours of class. When we got home Katherine, Kasy, Carrie, Ashley, Denise, and I ordered pizza. We tried new kinds including, club and sweet and sour chicken. I still think that pepperoni is my favorite but these were good as well! Didi came to visit and stayed for a long chat. Somehow we got started talking about pedophiles and the show, “To Catch a Predator” it was an interesting conversation, but a funny topic to get started on over dinner. I have spent the rest of my night sitting in front of my computer working on my presentation, and doing homework. I really miss having a desk in my apartment. I have to do everything on my bed or tiny bedside table. The little things that I usually take for granted!
