Am finally back in the UK and contact should hopefully be a bit easier! I'm currently absolutely exhausted! Arrived at Heathrow about 6:15 this morning and travelled to our hostel only to find we can't check into our rooms till 2! So I'm at the internet cafe next door wasting some time and trying not to fall asleep!
My counterpart has been taken off to the dr too as she's having nose bleeds so I'm also lonely! I think we will all feel better after a nice shower and a rest!
To be honest I haven't actually rested (or showered!) the last 3 months! And although the latter should now be resolved I can't see us having much rest in the next phase either!
Still I think we did have a bit of an impact on Mooiplaas which means it was all worth it! We had a big community farewell where the majority of Mooiplaas came to see us off! I was very sad to say goodbye to our host Lina. She became a sister to me and it was difficult knowing I wouldn't be able to visit her and contact is pretty limited! But hopefully when I'm rich (which my tarot reading says I will be!) I'll be able to fly over and take her somewhere exciting!
Was also very sad to leave Cheshire Home. I made them a collage in my last week there of some pictures of everyone and paintings the residents had done (imagine a lot of circles!). I gave it to Mama Agnes (the manager) who seemed to really like it! Means they shouldn't forget me straight away!
So now we have a few days in London before moving off to Swansea on Friday. Unfortunately this is the only free day we have and half the group have gone off to see the doctor while the other half are hanging around waiting for our rooms! Not the greatest start! But Mum and Dad are coming to see me later on with a bag full of stuff I want! Hopefully Felicia will be back to meet them.
My placement in Swansea will be working with the young, single and homeless project and connect, which works with the mentally ill. I'll be working with a gorl called Busi from Joberg who loves to sing! She's pretty enthusiastic so I think it'll be a good placement!
Don't have much else to say - it's up to you guys to update me on everything going on here now! And take no offence if I don't reply to emails or messages very quick it's just that we still won't have a lot of net time with all the sessions and everything! My god I am going to appreciate my weekends of sleep so much after GX!
Love to everyone - and no excuse not to contact me now!
