The big thing yesterday was when all the kids went back to school, the whole country on the same day due to the fact that everyone will have a 5 week holiday in June/July for the World Cup. If you do not know what World Cup, under what rock have you been hiding?
Now in my case (or my kids should I say), it is not back to school but back to varsity. Although varsity only officially starts on 25 Jan, both my son and daughter went back this week. My daughter is first year and have to do all the first year things for the next 2 weeks – what a lot of fun. My son is third year but he is a mentor for the first years and have to babysit the lot of first years.
They are both at Stellenbosch, daugther studying B.Sc Human Science and son studying Chemical Engineering. It is going to be weird not to have to worry and care about school things anymore. My kids are not kids anymore but young adults and I am so proud of them. Yes, we bump heads, have arguments and fights but that is how things have to be. They have there own opinions and have to learn by making mistakes and bumping there heads.
Off to go drop of things that my son/daughter forgot at home. Any advice how to get them to remember? Like they say in Afrikaans … head full of “muisneste” 🙂
Whether you have kids at school or varsity, let it be a good learning year for them and do allow them to have some fun along the way also.
