I did my first day of teacher prac last week, I'm at a pretty big local primary school this semester, over 500 students, enough to break the school up into sub-schools by syllabus stages. The kids are awesome and kept showing me how good they were at things, from remembering my name through to their ability to bounce a ball - so adorable. I got kinda mushy when at the start of the day I received my first "Good Morning Mr...".

They have a curriculum library at uni that's full of kids books and teaching aids & materials, can't wait to borrow a skeleton or something! I've borrowed a few kids books already, they're so much fun to read :D

I feel really dumb with university readings, I manage to get through chapters but not actually absorb any information, I don't know if it's 'cause I'm focusing on the wrong things or I'm not picking up on the structure properly but it all seems to go in the eyes & vaporise. I think I'll do a reading stategies course through the learning centre.

I got home from the gym an hour ago but just did my proper stretching then. My muscles had cooled down too much and now I'm all sore.

Got my rider training course this weekend, should be a cinch. Can't wait to finally get out on the road, public transport is driving me insane with its unreliability. It never ceases to amaze me that I can walk out the front door at the same time every day and have a 40 minute margin of difference in my arrival time at work/uni, which on a good day should only take 40-50 minutes to get to.
