SA Special Schools

Today we went and visited special needs schools. My group of three visited a special needs school for all kinds of needs from having physical disabilities to mental. It was very very enlightening. I have never interacted with these students much and it was really cool for the students who are thinking about doing their ISP's (Independent Study Project) on special needs children. We sat in on all the classrooms and talked to all of the teachers about absolutely everything. Then we had tea with the principal and talked more and more. It is really cool how SA has so many programs for special needs students whereas in the US we mainly see mainstream schools that have a class or two for the special needs kids. SA doesn't get a lot of credit for what they are actually doing well...which is a shame.

Yesterday I bought stuff to make spaghetti with so that will be my next meal I make for the fam accompanied by salad and this olive garlic foccacia bread that I will bake. Call me a chef...I won't mind. Dad don't get to excited probs still won't cook when I get back. I also plan to make brownies sometime but they don't have an appropriate pan so I may have to invest in one for them.

Also my computer has pooped out so I am using a program computer which I don't think I can download skype on soooo temporarily I have a problem with that. So until further notice no skype. But again you can call me from you skype to my SA cell phone and it costs something like 20 cents a minute. Good deal if you really want to talk to me! And I'm normally completely free after 5:30pm....I just chill with the fam and go on walks around the neighboorhood.

Yesterday night I was sitting on the couch doing my Zulu homework and my Aunt Penny brought out dinner for me which was piled like a foot high...yikes! I did in fact eat it all and right when I finished she came out with ice cream..ahhhhhh! So fruits and vegetables for lunch only.
