Term three just ended, and now the kids and teachers are on holidays for this next week. Because MCC wants to make it fair for all SALTers we are only given 10 holiday days. So when there are days that the kids have off I have to find other work that will keep me busy. Unless I want to take a holiday of course. But this week just seemed too early to use up 5 of my holiday days. So I had decided to stick around the farm and work at the school while everyone is gone.
A nice start to the week was Nikki (one of the other SALTers) came and hung out with me for the weekend! It was nice to be able to show someone where I work and what I have been up to. It was also nice to talk to someone about life, not worrying if they understand what I am saying. Ha. I think the most disappointing part was she only got to meet a few of the teachers and did not really experience the full amount of energy that occurs on the farm on a regular basis. But that will be another time maybe! While Nikki was here we went for a few walks around the farm, went to a brie (not sure of the spelling) its just like a BBQ, went to church, watched some movies, talked a lot, ate cheese, drank milk and on our way to drop her off back in Pietermaritzburg we actually saw 2 rhinos! And some other animals but the rhinos were the new and exciting ones!
Now I embark on the week on the farm alone. Well kind of alone. There are a few teachers around during the week, but I won’t see much of them. While I am here I am going to be cleaning up my classroom and also cleaning up the storage room. There is a room where all the extra booklets are kept and they want some kind of system put in to keep inventory of how many of each things they have. Which I feel is right up my alley but, we will see how it turns out!
Until next time, take the time to enjoy the noises of the things around you.
