For the past two days, I have not been doing a whole lot. I teach for about 1 1/2 hours per day to Grade 4's and then hang around. Right now, there is nothing for me to do in the Distance Office. I don't mind this as it just gives me a chance to relax and enjoy the day, especially since teaching Grade 5/6 is coming up really fast. I am teaching Grade 4's English. I am basically given free reign to teach whatever I want, but it is tough as I am here for a small amount of time and there is so much to teach them. I love teaching them. It is quite common here to give students homework and so yesterday I gave them a homework assignment. They had to write 8 sentences using their spelling words and they all did it!! I really would like to get them reading more, but the books that they have are very Western (eg. Little House in the Big Woods, Charlotte's Web) and they have a hard time relating to the stories.
Yesterday, I went to the KwaMhlanga Police station in order to file a police report for the accident that I had on Saturday. They were confused with what I was trying to say to them, so the process took a bit of time. Once they realized that I was talking about an accident in another province, they told me they couldn't help me and I had to go back to the area where it occurred. This is three hours away, so it is not likely to happen. This was not what I was hoping to hear.
So I went home and phoned the car rental agency. They basically said that they would figure out what to do when I brought my car in, but there is a good chance that I might have to pay for the damage myself. This could get costly :(

Pap is the main food here, so I bought some to treat my family with.
