This morning was the big morning for clinical presentations! We had 10 volunteers attend our information session (the most we have had…we usually just have two!). The “sex” talk went well for Christy and I, and we went to see our patients after the education piece. Our patient wanted to go for a walk (which was a very pleasant surprise) so we walked for a half hour, which was so great for her! When we were done walking we told her it would be our last day with her and she grabbed our hands and kissed them, then hugged us and kissed our cheeks! She was such a sweet lady and it was sad saying goodbye to her! It was our last day at Kleinskool and only one more day at Emmanuel, then we are closing the door on public health and going onto mental health! We had music class today and of course it went longer that our class time…I think that we have stayed after long enough for it to equal a full two hour class period! When we were walking out to the Kombi there were monkeys everywhere! Two were sitting on garbage cans digging in there and one had a banana that was stolen from the garbage! It was so funny to see them so up close! I literally could have touched them! We came back home and I have been doing homework ever since! Christy and I wrote our paper and evaluation on our presentation today. I checked emails and got one from Caitlin and Alison! I was so excited to hear from them! Thanks girls for writing to me! I think that it’s time for bed now!
