Soooo. I the last 6 or 7 weeks (sorry again) I have done many, many exciting things. During the break I managed to frequent the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, Madame Tussuad's Wax Museum ( Oh my freaking god! Amazing! Do it if you get the chance!)
But have been working like mad. The days and schools are meshing into one and by the end of the day I am usually so exhausted that the only think I can fathom is bed...
(I can't remember who these people are)
Not surprisingly I have burnt through my savings, but lucky for me I have already booked a few trips and other activities. The first one being Croatia on the 5th of April. The reality of 7 weeks without getting paid has sunk in, so I have started putting feelers out for evening work or work perhaps as a nanny, over the breaks.Teaching over here is not too different to back home. In fact, I think that there are somethings that they do better, but there are definitely things that we do better too. One thing that they both have in common is nosey politicians trying to run ours schools.. No flammin' idea... This week has been one of my trickiest weeks. The year 3s I have had are INSANE.. But still have managed to get through the week without so much as raising my voice at them.. One of the students really had an impact.. A little Russian boy named Ivan. He was the most polite boys I have ever met! He was courteous, hard-working and very helpful to his peers. Especially seeing as the only place he spoke English was at school.
I could get used to the Primary School thing..
I think I've seen the English Spring... We had one day of 15 and now it's back to rain, sleet and snow with temperatures ranging from -1 to 5.. Winning..
Have I mentioned my visit to Bath and Stonehenge? I can't remember... But if I did it's worth another mention. Stonehenge is a really interesting sight! I am hoping to get back to Bath too before I leave this place.. if you don't believe me check out the pictures.
Celebrating St Pat's Day in the UK is a stack of fun, and I have discovered a new talent. I can skoll a pint of Guinness :/ Had a great day in an Irish bar in Soho called the Toucan. Spent the day laughing and enjoying my Irish heritage. We called it an early day, me arriving back at my tube stop by half 7.. I decided to drop into a pub on the way home for just one more... Those who know me won't be surprised that I met a new bunch of people, had a few more drinks and ended up helping close the bar... Not before I held a girls hair back as she puked into a pint glass, and no Hayley is wasn't me this time! Felt right at home.. Next thing I knew it was nearly 3 and I was stumbling home.. Not surprising I slept through my alarm! Still managed to work a half day... Never been so close to spewing in a classroom! Lucky for everyone though that didn't happen!
Work Boat party tomorrow! Sailing down the Thames with 200 of my closest work colleagues. DJs, drinks and dudes ( Haha- hope you like that alliteration Donna if you're reading this) dressed as a pirate.. Will hopefully get some pics for you!
Anywho! Once again, please feel free to email me, inbox or snail mail me. I will try my best to get back to you ASAP! (Verity, your letter is coming I swear!)
Love hearing from all of you who are Skyping, Vibering, Whatsapping, Stalkbooking etc! Please keep doing what you are doing!
OHHHH and another thing that I have done was the Monopoly pub crawl! One of the best things I have done! Will give you more info on this at a later date but I have to scoot to netball!
Big shout out this time to Dad and Chris, also Nanny and any of the people who dad has passed my info on to!
