A change of tempo................

Hey y'all,

Just a quick word before I depart for a journey (albeit a short one) to a magical land about 10 hours away called Melbourne.

I am taking a well-earned break from my studies (some people think Uni is a bludge, but what would they know...............unless they have been there) to recharge the batteries for the second semester. So far, so good?

Well, I haven't thrown in the towel like Johnny Lewis!

I plan to see a few sights, like Federation Square, the Queen Victoria markets, Crown Casino, and God knows what else. I am also meeting up with a dear friend of mine, someone who I have never met before.

Well, I guess I should write a journal of my trip or something...................if I can be stuffed doing it.

See you round like a fuckin' rissole,

- Fridge.

The Path.

I finally have some direction!!!!!

Yesterday, I concluded my Practicum at a local primary school. For those not familiar with my terminology, it basically means 'work experience'.

I was placed into a Year 2 classroom, which is full of 7 year olds. At first, I thought I wouldn't enjoy it, but now that I am done, I couldn't imagine being in another classroom.

I learned a lot about teaching, and I had a lot of fun at the same time. Another bonus was that the kids were absolutely adorable!!!!!

Saying goodbye was the hardest part of the job. I had their respect, and we had quite a relationship. I hope that I have helped them along the path of learning as much as they have helped me. So, I guess it's safe to say that I was emotional at home time.......

I now know that I have what it takes to be a teacher, and a really fucking good one at that.

Peace be with you,

- Fridge.
