Last day tomorrow...:(

Not much to report from the last few days. Its been quite quiet. We all went out for the last Kareoke night at the Schlurp on Tuesday evening. Wednesday was therefore a rather slow start. I spent ages talking to Lunga and S'celo, guys from the 5th floor. We chatted for hours, it was really good! They told me all about what they thought of the dream centre and about apartheid and foods you can get in South Africa. I told them about hospitals and HIV in britain and about the food we eat. They were very surprised that we eat rabbit and duck as they don't! Charmain has been gone for the last few days, and I don't think she'll be back tomorrow for us to say goodbye as she is at the hospital having her bed-sores treated. About time to be honest they looked so sore and painful, but I am sorry I won't get to say goodbye.
Today was quite slow too. We spent some time going round and taking photos with patients we've become close too, and then went to the mall to print them off for the patients. I still don't think its really hit me though that tomorrow is my last day. I feel like I could definately do with another month here. I don't really feel like I've done the things I wanted to. I've definately neglected the psychology department, but I think I just felt like there was nothing I could really contribute. I would have loved to have at least made a start on getting some more psychological care for the patients, but I have no idea where the time has gone. Its actually flown by at a ridiculous pace. I feel like there were lots of things I wanted to do that I haven't done. I haven't made any contribution that will have a lasting effect. But it has been an amazing experience. I've met so many people who I think I am far better off for knowing, and I've seen some absolutely awe-inspiring sights at the hospital and on our trips at the weekend. I am going to miss this place dearly, and it is going to be really hard to leave on Saturday morning. I am going to miss the other volunteers a lot as well, and I've come to see them as my family here. We've been together so much its going to be weird to part from them. Hopefully we'll see each other again, and who knows, maybe one day I'll return to the Dream Centre. Anyway, I've still got one more day. One more day is better than nothing!
