I didnt go into a massive rage, I just go to myself and the guy next to me, "Fuck I messed up, made a mistake" or whatever, which makes me sad/pissed off and thats all I can see - I concentrate on how I think it went for ME more, which maybe we all do. I always think "I could have done this better" you know? As I was psyched and wanted everything to be perfect.
Aw, quite normal reaction then. You didn't go ballistic as a kid when things didn't go your way? Like, wiped out a whole town in one angry bloody rage!? Cause.... you should! it's fun!

In case you guys were wondering where I was the last few days (and if you weren't - fuck you!) my PC died on Saturday after a sudden illness. I've got a new PC (was thinking about getting an upgrade anyways) and am now back online. Unfortuately some STUPID cunt (we'll call him Gark) forgot to backup his work files which means 4.5 months work of has gone down the drain. I'm going to attempt to save the hard drive based on some advice I was given. If that doesn't work I'm fucked. Anyways... I might be around here less that usual for the next few days... but thought I'd post just to let you all know the reaper hasn't got me yet. Ha-ha. Fuck you, Reaper!

Just started a work placement in a school. I'm in reception class, its great fun. I'm working with an autistic child, and he is just awesome, apparently i'm his "new best friend", he has become my shadow. I got him laughing and squealing today, playing on the adventure playground and jumping him through the air to the next tire or pole to stand on, it felt fantastic because it's rare that he does this. He's just a real sweetheart. The other kids are cool though 44 in one class is just way too many. A little girl gave me two flowers she picked for me on the way to school and some come up and give me random hugs.
One little girl today, whilst discussing the word "Also" thought it began with an "O" due to the pronunciation,upon learning it started with an A she innocently pipes up "But miss! It starts with an A shouldn't it be said 'Ahlsole" ... ehm... not quite sweetie. The adults had a good giggle at this. Out of the mouth of babes huh?
No, my uni have a forced work placement for any degree you are doing, I'm doing history with a view of taking my PGCE afterwards, (you need a degree to get onto it) they view it as giving you a head start by getting you some experience as many graduates leave without any experience in the field they want to enter.. So i chose to work in a primary school to test out the waters first, see if its something i really want to do. The class size is too big there are 4-5 teachers, next year thought they are making the classroom bigger and taking on almost 60 kids! its really too high but they have to meet the demands of the area, its a poor, overpopulated area so they have large class sizes.
The school is very good, they try to integrate special needs kids into regular classes with extra support. Next year they are hiring a nurse and accepting children with medical problems such as cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, need feeding through tubes etc, and slowly involving them with the regular classes so as not to isolate them totally.
nope I managed to miss it as a kid. We're not sure if i've got it now, but i've been really unwell for last 2 days and i've now got a lovely itchy rash on my back and chest. This is also the same kid who gave me headlice, which thank god i got rid of them! poor kid anyway her parents send her to school no matter how ill she may be, they sent her knowing she had chickenpox. assholes.
4 days in and i've already got chicken pox and lice, the next 6 weeks on placement should be fun!
Hmmm... definitely got some operation scars, maybe theyre for something else other than chickenpox (hydrocephalus maybe).
I think I remember glandular fever or something like that
This morning I was finally diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's). Slightly pissed off at previous doctors that wanted nothing to do with me. I took my first Levothyroxine pill this morning, it made me feel fine for about a couple of hours and then I went back to knackered again, but he's started me off on a low dosage and I've got to have another blood test on my birthday, how nice lol
