Wednesday 4 February

I went to the CAA (Catholic Aids Action - my internship) this morning. Chilled out for an hour. Talked to the director and was a little tired. I played with Denzel for a long time which was cool. He’s really a great kid. I think he might have vision issues which leads to problems with his counting but maybe he will be able to get better with time. I also played with kids in a matching game and dominoes. I must at admit that at first I am very turned off by their behavior but I think that it is a condition of their circumstance. Therefore there circumstance must be changed in order to alter their behavior. Respect and other admirable qualities need to be fostered with time and effort, the latter of which I have a lot of the, former of which I am lacking for the moment. Maybe when I make this a profession it won’t be so bad.
I came home and we did a homestay prep which I was very tired for. I am beginning to realize that about 2-3 in the afternoon I go through this intense wave of tiredness and then im pretty peppy afterwards. I cant really explain it; maybe jet lag, maybe heat and water?
