    I slept in til 1pm yesterday. Fell asleep at 9.45ish pm and now I’m 👁️👁️

    Having a hot chocolate now. Not sure what to do, maybe I’ll turn on the PC and save some jobs to apply for during business hours.

    I have 4-and-a-bit days to make my first official cosplay item. A helmet of sorts.

    I was hoping Amazon would provide the goods but they let me down.

    So now it’s me, a hot glue gun and some supplies from Savers, Bunnings & Spotlight.

    The hopes of a 9yo boy are in my barely-capable hands.

    Goodnight all! I’m not particularly tired, mostly just done with the day and want to go to bed to kind of retreat into my personal space a bit. Pleasant dreams.

    Hahaha. At the other place they were discussing cutlery drawer order. Knives, forks etc. Pffft. That topic was so yesterday. We are trendsetters people.

    I am wrecked for today. I have no more going up and down stairs in me.

    but this house is so nice

    I have views of trees beyond my terrace and out the windows, not walls. It’s quiet. It smells nice here. It’s big and roomy and easy to live in.

    Down the bellarine, forgot the airshow thing was on. One of the planes just broke the sound barrier over the place and holy shit haven’t heard / felt that before. Lucky to still have windows.

    alright. Van sorted (not cheaply, but sorted). Some of the gear has arrived including some all important poles but a lot of the other essentials (like waterproof mattress protectors to protect bed in the event of a wet packup) are enroute. And the nice to haves (new kettle, sheets, chopping board, dish drainer) are still awaiting shipping dates. Thinking this might be a very bare bones dry run this weekend.

    Started placement today (kids were on an excursion yesterday) and I still don’t really know how to feel. The first lesson was with a CRT who had some science background so she still winged it, but told everyone that I would be teaching with her, even though I’m meant to just be observing. I ended up helping some kids out in the end whilst she attempted to do the teaching. Some of the kids in the class have aspirations like sport and the arts, and instantly act out because they’ve associated the class with boredom. The biggest thing I took away from today is that just these kids showing up is enough. The school is aware of what these kids want to do, and give them the absolute bare minimum, like a worksheet to fill in to pass the entire unit.

    I have to brush up on my content knowledge as well, but that will come when I start planning lessons. I hope.

    I’ve got until next Monday to decide if I want to drop out of the course without financial penalty. I still don’t really know, because it’s only been one day, but I’m just trusting that things will figure themselves out as they go along.

      how can you not know how to feel

      just feel your feelings as they come with your experiences, don’t think about feelings in advance

      seems to me you are doing awesome, you like what you do, you are very sensitive to the kids and their needs and capabilities

      I think the kids are going to see how good you are and will be aces 🙂

      I’m not sure why you were paired with a CRT, you’re supposed to have a teacher who works there because they’ll end up evaluating you and also mentoring you as well.

      The thing about CRT is that kids/students will act differently to a CRT, especially one they’ve not had before as the students will try and push the boundaries to see how far they can go.

      Anyway I’m a little bit sad that you hadn’t gotten the proper set up to experience it properly and you only have a short time to make a decision.

        Exactly! The mentors I’m meant to have are on LSL so I think I will ask another teacher in the staff room if I can observe their class.

          This might not be too helpful but you could reach out to your uni for advice perhaps.

          I’m not really sure of the right channels to go through but I can ask some friends tomorrow if you’d like.

            I’ll see what happens tomorrow and ask the coordinator for advice. Thanks for the suggestion, and also don’t worry about reaching out to your friends! Thanks though :)
