Week 3 - draft done in week three (published in week 5)

(just so you have an indication of how slack i am - this was drafted two weeks ago and i still havnt managed to publish it... whoops!)

Hey all,

well i thought that since i had a bit of free time for a change i had better type a bit on here to keep you all up to date with life in Welly!

All is going..... well its okay - put it that way! The last week has been very hectict but i am glad to say that having to families to work for and learn from is fantastic because if i feel like i need to "escape" one family, then i just wait till another day and then i can trade families for the day.

Yesterday i worked with my 2nd family - the Daivs-Wren's i think it is. It was a hard day because all three children (remembering that they are all under 5) were home sick for the day and so notToday (Tuesday) was our third class day and what a day it was. We (the students/nannies in training) knew that the course would be very intense becuase there is so much to learn in 6ish months but today we ended up getting 4 ASSESSMENTS/ASSIGNMENTS to take home. Thank goodness that one or two of them arent due for a couple of weeks but still it is a lot of work to do when we only have 6 hours at the college a week (2 hours for each class) and need to take in a whole heap of info. As my host fam said, at least it should keep me out of trouble for the next couple of weeks.
