Can I just say….
It is SO nice to not be blocked from every bloody site I go to.
Yay for home internet and administrator access on my own computer. 
I have to ask the question though, why has EQ blocked simple sites that have clip art imges i can use for school, and NOT blocked facebook (am also grateful for this)???
The Story So Far
So the story so far with my internship is that I am suprised every day when I come home. Suprised because I am not busting to get out of there, crying, angry, or counting down the minutes till I actually finish. 
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…

Last Day…
Today was my last day of work. It’s KIND OF sinking in that I’m not a JLE employee anymore, and that I am (technically) unemployed, as of tomorrow. But school starts on Tuesday, and I have a lot of planning to do before then, and I will also be busy, busy, busy while on prac, and very aware that it is not possible for me to work and teach at the same time.
For those you know aren’t aware of my current situation, here it is:
Last year I failed one of my subjects, so I couldn’t do my 6 week internship. I had been with that class all year, and taught them in blocks, and visited weekly for the entire school year. I was in a reasonably position to complete my degree- my teacher was confident in my ability, even if the age group was a real challenge for me.
When I had to leave school, the very next week I started working with my Dad at John Love Electrical, we were talking at work today and realised that this was about August. It was a really great time, and I kept working there after I got married.
In this new year I have gone back to Uni doing one subject- the one I failed last year. Last Friday I got confirmation that I had passed with a Credit this time (I think it was a bit of LIFE overload this time last year- wedding plans, prac, study, work etc). So I have had to leave JLE this week so that I can start my six weeks of internship.
This year I have also been visiting my class once a week, in term 2. This is because I am not ‘allowed’ to go straight into my internship without having really met the class before. So on top of that, because I’ve only been doing day visits, I am just going to school 3 days a week for 3 weeks (these next 3 weeks) before I start that ‘official’ 6 weeks. I am looking forward to it, but also looking forward to finishing, because finances are will be more then just a little tight for the next 9 weeks. I’m not eligable for Austudy, or Youth Allowance or whatever, because I’m only doing one subject. But I am hoping to go on a looking for work allowance, which should help us out a little.
So wish me luck for the adventure, and that the business venture thingy Dad and Luke and I are working on all works out so that I will again be employed when I finish!!
