assisi hospice. we were lucky 'cause with no appointment whtsoever, geraldine granted some time. and yx, carmen and i managed to start helping out with the daycare children right away. the helpers there are friendly and nice and although it's a hospice, the kids seem healthy and happy. taught a sweet seven-yr-old indian girl some math. then taught patra, a british seven- yr-old a couple of sentences in chinese and played mastermind and catch and then read and read and read with her. 5 chpts of the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. took turns at first, she took dialogue and i was the narrator till she had to eat. then i read everythin till i was hoarse, but she reads better than me with her accented english i feel:( she's one of the more difficult kids there and i'm glad it turned out fine. it's a joy to see other kids so active and jumpy too. i think 3 of us are so in love with this cute, handsome kid called kenneth, oh but let's not flout the favouritism rule:P 4 more days to go.

i wish to shut myself up in the study rm and stay there all day long.

Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I'm down I'm down on my knees I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I'll take what you give me.
Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time
I should've know better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I'm going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me.
Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me this time.
