A week in Perth was all the time it took for me to make it feel like home and fall in love with its residents. LOVELY for the dreadful flight back to Sydney where I sulked and spited the fact that I was returning. Okay, maybe it wasn't that dramatic but I really wasn't ready to go back to school and work in Sydney yet. It was fun, but I was welcomed/overwhelmed with Sydney's hectic life and responsibilities so I won't have time to upload any blogs/images till later. BOO. I'll procrastinate with my assignments but I really enjoy blogging right away, good reflection time for reals.
On a different note, today was the most stressful work day I've had here. Now let me start by saying that when working with kids, it takes a while for me to lose my patience and I'm not typically phased by it. Toddlers were unbelievably demanding today. Throwing food, running around inside, shouting, chewing on all sorts of things, painting on the tables, screaming in protest of sleep time...you name it. The repetitive reprimanding wasn't getting through to them. AND I"M ONLY AN INTERN. I can't imagine what it must be like for the full timers. Good grief. BUT I have to add that the kids and I are pretty attached so I can only imagine my last day....=/
Okay, that is it for my rant.
On another note, I am already half way through my program and to be honest, I'm not ready to go back yet. Too much to do, and the thought of not coming back for a while--i hate it. There, I said it, I don't want to go back. Not like it'll make a difference, I'll still be on a plane back to the states whether or not I like it. Who knows? Maybe things'll change in a few weeks and I'll be packed a week ahead all ready to roll.
alright that is it for now, till I have time to sit at my quaint little cafe.
G'day
