hai

this be a post. the post that is the most.

community profilling

i'm doin a community profile on an area in swansea that i've only been to once, so i'm trying to explore using my good friend the internet.

so i'm on google earth, checkin out the place and i find the map hovering over a graveyard, so i scroll out like and say to d & owen 'goddam that's a big mutherfkr of a graveyard! jaaaysus! how many dead people live here??'

uh.. none.. i need to get to bed.

social notworking, and the joy of bread time

tonight i did not have work, a meeting, or a placement. i probably have stuff to do but i thought i'd write a simple blag post about how naice it is to just hang around with dave n owen and go for a walk along the beach and a mince around tescos.

we got some naice bread which i have eaten most of, i love bread so much, if i could eat nice fresh bread with stuff on it forever i would not be upset. esp if that stuff included peanut butter, butter, jam, tomatoes, cucumber and burger sauce. not all together, obv. but some things together.

in other news, owen brought himself a sharpie tonight. yes.

there's this video that's been making the rounds on youtube about texting and driving, and if i were not far too nervous a driver to even attempt texting whilst driving then it would have deffo put me off this one!

it's a lot grim

but worth a watch.

course/work

my course re starts on saturday.

yeh i guess i am a bit of a grumpuss about yet another 6 day week, esp one with 3 evenings work too, and a particularly annoying battle with landpeople over woodlaminate flooring, and the car going a bit wrong..

but i am kinda looking forward to it, i missed youth werk, i haven't done any for a month. i lie actually i have done a couple of saturdays, but it doesn't feel like i've been at a proper youth club type place where we do stuff like activities and things...

also yeh i suppose i've logged a few more hours than usual working directly with young people, but then, talking to them about income tax isn't really the same as making fires in woods and cooking things on them, and making stuff out of twigs in mud.

so yeh, though i hate writing, i'm approaching this chunk of course with a more practical, uh, outlook? i just wanna get it done, write that i learned stuff, 'reflect on my practice' in all the proper ways and get my qualification so i can settle into a nice little youth work job or 5 and perhaps start referring to myself as a proper person with a career.

i can't wait to start properly in this new place, i met the other staff yesterday and they seem awesome. i am well looking forward to it.

soon i will be lookin at a 9-5 with 2 evenings of placement, 1 late and one after work course. sundays will again become SACRED!! :-)

that'll do for updates. .

students

what's this (points to tickbox on the funding form next to the word 'childcare')
that's if you want childcare
do i need to tick it?
yeh, if you want childcare...
do i need childcare?
do you have a child?
no
well then you don't need to tick the box.
oh.


i keep on having this conversation. i might have to include it on my 'your bus pass funding made easy' sheet. these kids are our future.

boots!!
