Tuesday, Wednesday, Happy Days...

Yesterday I went to placement at Etafeni in the am and got to work with the Fit For Life teenagers/20 somethings with Art. It was great because we did theatre games teaching stage presence, eye contact, focus, body language, and sense of play. I taught them big booty, with all of the layers of the game, which was great to learn how to teach it in simplified terms. They liked it a lot. Then I worked with the camp kids at the holiday program, working on ensemble, learning games, and making up song… Continue

Last full weekend at 10 Loch Road.

Saturday me Glenna amber and Shanika went to Greenmarket square and had wonderful food. Attempting to absiel table mountain but long lines and strange expenses got in the way. Me and Glenna had a couples day at camps bay, celebrating the 4th by getting our clothes wet and sandy from wading in the water, followed by a lunch of ciders and chips at a place overlooking the water. It was nuts to see such huge mountains next to the beach. Stunning. When we got home we went to Vicky’s B & B in Kayl… Continue

Friday after my last day of Marie Stopes (it was sweet-they thanked… Continue

Here I am on this blog after too long!

Saturday before last I went to Old Biscuit Mill on lower main road in Woodstock and was overwhelmed with the scents and food. I ran into some UCTers and that was good and then I explored Long Street with Kate, which was interesting because it was in the middle of the day but there was some sketchiness. Then I went to Green Market square, came home to hang out with Amber and welcomed the Wine Land Ladies home that evening, while everyone else was on adventu… Continue
