I can’t wait to finsih Uni forever! Or at least until I do another Uni course… Haha.

Anyway, I can’t wait to start work on Monday- getting back into eLearning. Wish me luck as I have a hard core day at school tomorrow watching toy story and making popcorn and smoothies.

I roll over to Luke and wake him (he doesn’t like it). “Can you see that?” I ask, and point out the window. The grey there behind the two trees, on the other side of the gully. He sees it, and thinks that it’s water.

I get my phone and call Dad, and then while I’m getting ready for school, Luke and Pepper investigate. They discover a BIG hole in a BIG pipe, and heaps of water IS spurting out everywhere.

Anyway. Dad gets the water turned off, and fixes it at lunch time. So by the time I’m home from school it’s all fixed!!

Oh, btw, my first ‘proper’ day of school today- teaching the whole thing. It went pretty well! I’m blogging my reflections using pretend names etc. over here. Check it out. I’ll probably just blog the exciting and fun things here! Like the HUGE big ‘tv’ I made them today out of a fridge box. Will post photos tomorrow when they’re in it!!

Instead, I am leaving with a plan of what I need to do that night, getting it done whilst still hanging out with friends on occasion. I am smiling at the kids, and acting like a ‘real’ teacher. I just need to work on my sarcasm. 8 year olds don’t really get it and just look at me like they want to cry…. Haha.

Seriously though, Prac has been really interesting. I’ve only been going in 3 days a week (which helps to ease my stress), but I’m feeling confident as I start my proper, full time, internship next week. I’m spending the night this week planning and getting myself ready for Monday morning.

I’ve made a super wall, which is pretty cool, and we’ve done some fun lessons tracing ourselves and drawing in the bones, and watching real live hearts beating on youtube!!! (okay maybe not real live… but it LOOKS real!)

I’ll keep uploading my school photos to this album on facebook.

Heaps good wall I created…

Cool Skeleton I drew:

Here’s my menu plan for the next week (dinners only):

Thursday: chicken and potato casserole
Friday:  Lamb & sweet potato slow cooker casserole
Saturday: Chilli con carne
Sunday: Pad thai
Monday: curried lentil and pumpkin soup
Tuesday: greek lamb salad
Wednesday: indian lamb spinach curry

Have I mentioned that I am loving my wii fit??! I am the only one who uses it though… which I guess happens when it’s just Luke and I. Pepper totally ripped my skirt the other day when I was jogging on the wii fit. She was all excited that my skirt was moving- and it had little sequense on it that sparkled and then she jumped up to bit it, got it, and then ripped down. Not sure if it’s fixable- definitely can’t be bothered to fix it right now anyway, it’s WAY too cold.

In other news, today was my last staff lunch at JLE and I was a little bit nervous about it. I was mostly being a control freak though, cause this week I have been training the lady who is taking over parts of my job and I kept thinking, “I’ll just change that next week when she’s not here”, and then I realise that I CAN’T change it next week because I won’t be there and she will be!! But whatever. I want to get this stupid prac out of the road! Not looking forward to 9 weeks of not getting paid, but if I get my but into gear eLearning wise, I can make a bit more money and it will work out. It might be a bit of a weekend gig though.

So far the nights of me week during prac will look something like this: mon=netball, tues=free/ eLearning wed=homegroup1 thurs= homegroup2 Fri=youth Sat= free/out Sun=church.

Yeah, so I am definitely going to need to NOT do some of those things I want to plan lessons and make resources and write up stuff for my interview. I am thinking of culling netball, alternate homegroups, and church @ night (I already go in the mornings). That should leave me social enough- can go out on Sat, and also time to spend with Luke- saturday day.

I best be off now and do some wii fit before bed!

ciao.
