Grammatical help

The Prince & I call ourselves two of the "Four horsemen of the apostrophe". There's nothing worse than bad apostrophe placement!! So of course I love this video of The Apostrophe Song by Cool Rules. I particularly like the rock & acoustic versions available on their iPhone app. There's even resources etc. I taught a lesson on apostrophes to a 4/5 class on teaching rounds - now I would play this song. So much better!

& I can never spell definitely!

The Oatmeal also has the awesome i.e. vs e.g. poster - very helpful, along with other awesome stuff!

Rose: 24 degrees & sunny today! Yay!

I'm also thankful for a government that will pay me to be a student at a university. So few people in the world get that privilege. I love study, but would never be able to do it if I had to pay full price! Thanks HECS! =)

Prac is finished!!

I am super super proud of me! (can I say that without sounding too much like a tall poppy?)

Yes I can! Because I have earned it! I have worked very hard, sacrificed much & overcome extreme anxiety to finish my Kindergarten placement. And I didn't just finish I got a H2A (B+). I believe I did really really well. Yay me!

Big thanks to the Prince for getting me out the door on supreme anxiety days, doing all the cooking & housework every Tues, Wed & Thurs since August & just loving me. Without him it would not have been possible!

Thanks also to family & friends who have understood me not being able to do anything!

*side note: does thanking someone on the internet when you know they can't read it count? Does 'sending the vibes out there' show love?*

Things I have learned: 

• I can do way more than I think I can
• I love working with children
• anxiety can be beaten, and I can do it!
• I'm good at working with children. And I don't have to know what to do in every circumstance, my instincts are good.
• Some kids live really hard lives. (this was the hardest lesson. really feeling for some of the kids I met)

Rose: I've finished! What more is there? =)

Axis of Awesome - What Would Jesus Do?

This made me laugh


What would Jesus Do

Rose: I have finished prac! I am now on holidays! YAAAAAY!!!!

What I'm spending my time doing...

I haven't been here much coz I'm on prac. And sleeping. And resting. And sleeping. But I've discovered:

I'm missing something...

Project Free TV - streaming for all those shows you want to watch, but aren't on TV (or are at an annoying time)

It's supposed to be heaps lighter on your download limit, but I haven't really found that to be the case. Looking to increase our limit now... *oops*

Still, it's nice to be able to watch something different!

Rose: it's sunny! it's warm!!

Quotable Quotes

Things I said at Kindergarten this week:

"It's a handkerchief. Kind of like a permanent tissue"

"You don't need to cry about the bubbles. I know you didn't get to pop one this time, but look I'm blowing more right now..."

"You don't need to cry about the bubbles too..."

I also got sparkles & magic (to kill the bad guys) brushed through my hair by 3 gorgeous girls. *Awww*

I love working with kids! What are your favourite kid moments?

~P

Rose: only one more day of prac left! I'm loving it, but it's sooo draining & really hard on my CFS. Nearly finished!

Photo Friday

Sorry a little late on this one - my routine is all out with the Prince home on holidays this week.

Firstly: 7 things not to take a photo of thanks to the Oatmeal. Must say I'm guilty of taking 3 of these types of photos (I'll let you guess which 3!)

Today's photos are because they make me laugh. Serious threat ahead: golfers!

Sorry 4 super-large first photo - needs to be big enough so you can see the sign.

Rose: great catchup with a g/f this week. Love my girls.

First World Want

Perhaps now the AUD is so high? Or as a loosing weight reward?

My nerdity is currently finding its vent in The Big Bang theory. I *soo* want a Sheldon Shirt or a Soft Kitty, warm kitty shirt. Or a Wesley Crushers shirt. And here is the actual soundtrack shirt!
How bout this I don't want to talk shirt?
If only they made a Stretchy Princess shirt. This is pretty close.
I <3 the threadless Lightsaver shirt, but they've sold out in women.

Then there's Inconceivable!, Inigo's shirt & I think I need this shirt even more than chocolate (above)

(You'd better leave now, I could go on all day)

P.S. Rose: spare $ for random things like shirts!
