Update

The weeks since Easter Break have been the busiest yet. We've started our Wednesday Workplace Learning placements, which impacts our schedule a lot more than I thought it would. I really like the teacher I'm working under, though. And the school, although very different from anything I'm familiar with (as it's a private school) is good. I am largely observing right now, sitting in on Year 8 History, Year 7 SOSE (Geography, History, Sociology), Year 12 English, Year 10 English, and Year 7 Support English. It's a nice variety. When I start my full-time placement my focus will be Year 8 History, Year 7 SOSE, and Year 7 Support English.

I also started a part-time job this week (finally - it's slim pickin's for jobs here). I'll be working at a Swedish stationary shop called kikki.K. I'm pretty in love with this store. I pestered them until they hired me, and I'm actually excited to work there. Check out their website (kikki-k.com). They ship to Canada!

This past weekend was a long one, due to the ANZAC Day holiday (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) and this upcoming weekend is the long Labour Day weekend but it's not as fun as it sounds. School is so busy right now, I don't have much time to spend traveling. We did have an ANZAC Day bbq though (they celebrate it kind of big here. Think May 2-4 in Canada. So our bbq was pretty low key by comparison), and hope to get some beach time in on Labour Day.

Besides that, unfortunately, I can't think of much to report on. I feel badly that I haven't been posting much, so... I was hoping you guys (whoever is actually reading this) could help me with my next post. In the comments section post any questions you might have and I'll post a collection of the answers for my next submission. Ask anything you want: about school, the beaches, my apartment, the animals, the weather, the health of my pale, pasty skin in the Ozone-free sun, whatever tickles your fancy.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
