Good Day!
Mum woke me up for school this morning
It was raining, this would be the first time ive cycled to school in da rain~
Wasn't so bad as it wasnt heavy, but it did mean the pets had to come indoors this morning
Tiffin was in a mood about that, hes been inside with me today instead of patrolling outside
I got to school and said my mornings to everyone~
The day started off with English, reading a book which I did when I was there
in fact they are the SAME books, so they are a bit worse for wear
its called Kensuke's Kingdom
about a boy being stranded on an island and makes friends with the islands only human
habitant - Kensuke. Kensuke as the name sounds, is Japanese.
So there is bits of Japanese in the book, basic stuff so I can understand it ^^
But we havent gotten that far yet~
It was quite dull reading but what can you do
Then it was assembly and I tidied up
After break they had to draw their theme park ride they wanted to make on squared paper
the idea being they could draw them 3D but some kids cant grasp 3D so I was going
round making things 3D for them, I always get "you draw so amazingly" ^^
Then lunch time
After lunch they were rehearsing their play, so I asked if there was anything I could be
getting on with, and the teacher asked me to tidy out the cupboard
ive been wanting to do this damn cupboard since december but never had the chance
so I did not mind doing it, it looked better but I knew it would be a tip in no time
After break they were going through different plants on the screen
about how they adapted to their environment
jeez it was dull
i think the kids would have got more out of finding strange and weird plants on the internet
the computers were free too! But no it was a bore-fest
The last 5mins of the day the teacher said
"right im thinking of a number between 1 and 1000, you have to guess it in as little guesses as possible okay"
a girl puts their hand up "is it 157?"
the teacher replied "we're gonna be here a long time"
I couldnt help but chuckle at that one
I came home and had a brew, sat with tiffin on my knee for 40 mins
i couldnt believe he sat at all never mind that long!
I cut out 4 things for the bunting flags and had dinner
Tomorrow I plan to do some more of the bunting and maybe some drawing
as my drawing has been neglected ><
I did my nails last night but I never uploaded last week's nails~
Good Evening~
I had some creepy dream about being in a closed theme park
with just the 1 clown...yeah what a creep he kept hiding and reappearing
in the end i rugby tackled him as I wanted the hell outta there. Then I woke up
I basically just worked on the bunting today, Got all 19 letters sewn on~
A couple have been stitched together, but I left it there.
I did some dancing, stopped as I was getting a bit out of breath and sweaty ><
It keeps raining, loads of places have flooded
we pay for good weather in this country
I didnt go for a walk as I didnt want to chance it
Got my stuff ready for school tomorrow
can't believe im back at school so soon! doesnt feel long ago I was there
My dad wants me to use my car, it hasnt really been used in a few weeks
which I know its not good for the car. But I have no where to go :/
If I go out with mum, she usually drives. My friends live locally, and if we go out
sometimes they drive but we dont go out very often.
Im just a loser I have no where to go to XD
I'll go somewhere this week I guess >.>
I thought I would photograph my new make-up I have been using
Usually I just pick up and old cheap eyeshadow, but the problem in doing that
is that sometimes you cant quite see if the shadow has even gone on you
the colours are weak. I saw many people on youtube using this palette
Too Faced - Semi Sweet Eye Shadow
So I thought I'd give it ago seeing as I could see on youtube how easily
the make-up goes onto people's skin.
I brought one for £10 off ebay. When I got it, one of the shadows had literally exploded
so 1 shadow was missing and shadow everywhere, i mean everywhere
I complained and ended up getting another one so basically I got 2 for £5!!
meaning both me and mum can have our own as we were gonna share~
Loads of pretty colours, i love using them and they smell nice too
it comes with a lil booklet to show you how to do 3 styles
Tomorrow Im going to school
Good evening minna-san
It was a normal morning for me, being a saturday I had the pets to clean out
Tiffin didn't help much for a change
I checked my messages and Karen my yoga teacher has asked me to
make her some bunting for her new yoga room~
But theres quite a lot to make @.@
I thought I'd make a start today anyway seeing as I wasnt doing a lot
so I rummaged through my fabrics, her room colour scheme is
green, grey, brown and white
Luckily I had those colours in, well not so much grey but its fine
So far i've cut out about 30+ flags so basically I have cut out 60+ triangles -____-
took me a while to say the least!
Not even sure thats the full amount I need!
Karen wants lettering on them too, so I cut the letters out and ironed it all for sewing
her words are
Namaste
Bamboo
Shanti
I hope they will look good when Im done, and it would be nice to earn a lil money to :)
After lunch I layed out on my bed and fell asleep
it was just what I wanted to do, just rest in the peace and quiet
I woke up 90mins later then I layed there for a further hour
it was nice to just lay there an not be in a lot pain
lazy i know, i should have got up and danced but all well!
I did get up and go for a quick walk with mum
just before it started to rain again
i got tiffin in this time no messing, i wasnt having a repeat of last time
he cant be trusted to go home by himself when it rains it would seem
and he was waiting in the same place as yesterday!!!
brain of britain!!
Anyway yesterday when I had play with make-up
this was the end product
I havent photoshoped the photos just squared them off and added doodles
my dyed hair looks gingery right?
I like playing with make-up this is a lot darker and harsher than id usually wear
usually i wear next to no make-up as i hate the trouble of scrubbing it off
it took a while to get all this off my face but i got on with it
here's just a few extras
Tomorrow I will continue with bunting
and if i dont get my coursework printed tonight i will do it tomorrow!
Konbanwa~
It is Friday~
Today when I woke the air felt muggy
I popped the pets outside as usual
I felt crippled from yesterday so I had a slow morning of
clay making!
I made myself a new Pikachu to go on my house key
seeing as we have a new front door now, I have a new key - a naked key
I wasnt sure whether to do Pikachu AGAIN
but seeing how I had some yellow clay open I thought "ah why not"
So I cracked on with it
During claying I had to put pets away as the weather looked iffy
Then when I had almost finish it threw it down outside, stormy, lightening - the lot
I looked out and noticed tiffin wasnt there i thought 'good he had the sense to go home'
I continued doing the final touches to Pikachu so I could bake him
Mum came into my room "do you know where tiffin is?"
I said "yeah he went home didnt he?"
mum "no he hasnt hes out there in this! I think the whole sudden down pour has panicked him, he ran from his bush to the shed (which is closed) to a potted plant" well i couldnt see him from my room but took mums word for it. It was pouring down out there, in a matter of minutes water was going down the road, our drain was blocked. and my tiffin was out in it D:
I grabbed a coat and went out
I picked him up, he was all limp and sodden
I brought him in were mum greeted me with a towel for him
we dried him off a bit but he wanted to shake
this is the wettest he has ever been in his whole little life
he has never had a bath before. so i think he was a bit in shock
I took him upstairs and blew him with the hair drier. he wasnt too bad by this point
but went straight under my bed for the world's longest rabbit wash.
He's ok now, he was a bit moody with me but I think we're friends again
anyway after all that drama I painted the mouth and ears on Pikachu and got it done!!
Instead of doing the face on the front and back I decided to do a tail on the back
Im pleased with it
Here is the one I did for my old key~
I can see improvement ^^
The rain didnt let up much today
but me and mum popped to the shops i didnt get anything
i wasn looking for shelves but meh nothing great
I spent an hour doing my hair and make-up today
I wanted to have a play around, i was in the mood~
I shall upload photos tomorrow when I have had a flick through about 50 photos of my face!
Otsukaresama Deshita~
Man did I have a hard day
I look back thinking 'I got all that done in 6/7 hours!?'
Anyway I woke up with a start as dad woke me, hes not as subtle as mum >.>
Today would be the day my college teacher would come to observe me
I decided Id look like business, So I put on my prim clothes and spent a lil longer
on my make-up to make me look a bit more mature or older?
Dunno. Did it work?
Anyway I headed off school thinking
'it wont look good if she's there before me' XD
I signed in and told reception to expect my teacher
I went round to the classroom to say Hi to my the teacher
I saw the pigs needed a food and drink top up so I was doing that
and as soon as I had finished I heard "here she is"
I turned round and my college teacher was there.....i had hay in my hand XD
and do you know how I greeted her!!!?
"man I was hoping something would keep you from coming today"
oh i could shoot myself!!! When Im feeling nervous I get so defensive for some reason
She just laughed and said "no i was definitely coming dont you worry"
spiteful teacher >.>
She said "why do you look so nervous?"
I thought id be honest as I gave her such a welcome
"Ive always had skanky teachers so i dont look forward to the feedback"
Anyway we talked and she sent me to go get my folder whilst she talked to my teacher
I came back to find she had settled in a place
i sat down some where else and the day started with the teacher addressing the class
"we have a visitor in the room, who do you think it could be?"
So they had various guesses one kid guessed it was someone for me
so we filled them in.
Did a very simple activity of going through the alphabet and thinking of a name for
a boy and girl for each letter. that was for 10-15mins
then they were show a video of 2011's class's fairground ride models - which were impressive
Then they went on the computers for 15 mins looking at rides
During this time my college teacher called me over to talk
she said "why you so nervous?" I didnt even realize I was ^^;
So she talked me through it all and said how well i was doing and that im doing it all
without thinking, thats why i feel i dont do anything. its cus i do it all naturally.
I passed sooooooo many units today i cant tell you how much i got done!!!!!! I was so happy ^^
and relieved of course
I even got my health and safety unit done just cus i was going round putting chairs under
Now we were asked to be observed doing an activity involving english, maths, ict and working together. I wasnt expecting to get any of those done today as she just wanted to see me in school.
But I got all of em done apart from maths!!! Just by doing that simple name exercise and helping kids look at rides on the computers.
Seriously what was i worried about!?
She said next time I need my own group to do some maths with just to pass that one, simples.
Her only 'nitpicking' was my body language at one point i slouched so people behind could see, whereas i should have just moved out the way. thinking back im not sure why i did what i did but considering that was the only 'bad' thing she mentioned i think i did pretty well ^^
We talked and she checked my folder out, my green dyslexic sheet was in there so she asked if i was dyslexic and if i needed any help. I told her i'll ask if i needed extra help
i was quite surprised she didnt know as i had put it on my forms..
she asked how my coursework is going. i told her its all typed up
it surprised her. she told me the rest of the class (who all talk on 'whats app') are struggling
with it. I saw her out to which i discovered my next task which was snaking from reception down the road.....
Grandparents day...
Yep it was gonna be one heck of a day alright!
The head teacher had ordered a load of union jack kites to make
the idea being grandparents and grandchildren build them together then go out flying them
but the instructions were terrible!!!!!
I was clearing the classroom and was casually watching this grandad put one kite together so i learned what to do from watching him. I helped round and tidied as i went.
I went round the classes to see if anyone needed an extra hand
i walked into year 1 and said to the teacher "wow your classroom is so quiet"
he replied "yes of course it is, its my classroom"
I love him hes amazing, 30 years of age and takes no crap XD never fails to make me laugh
there was teas and biscuits ^^ books to buy, and also a photographer!! we didnt have a photographer when i was there (apart from class photo day) i thought how lovely that was and cus the weather was so lovely he was taking the photos outside!
The classroom cleared as everyone went outside to fly kites so i cleaned up cus it was a bomb site
Breaktime seemed to mingle together with kite flying so i missed my break as i wasnt sure when it was and i didnt wanna slack off so i worked up to lunch time. Before lunch the kids were called in and the teacher got them to say 'well done' to me cus my observation went well. then he said "and i think we have something to say to Jo"
panic on quite a few faces at this point
"why is she leaving!?"
haha noooo, they were to thank me for cleaning up for them :)
Had lunch and then after lunch the kids had a guy come in from the high school to do a questionnaire i talked to him realizing he couldnt be older than me, he was 23 years old. I walked him out the school afterwards. The kids went to go rehearse their lines for the play they are gonna do
i begged any god out there not to be in the room with them
I saw the the girl with dyslexia having her extra lessons so I asked if i could observe and they both said it was fine, i learned so much in that half hour.
But it was time to join the rest of the class rehearsing
so i asked the teacher "was there anything i could do"
he gave me some display work to do. Border 30 A3 sheets of work
bit tedious but hell it got me out of hearing the kids rehearse.
doing the borders was tough work, i was stood up for almost 2 hours in a very stuffy room with no AC or ventilation i was hot. and missed my break T^T but i got it all done just before home time.
At home time I said thank you to the teacher as i know he had sung my praises to my college teacher ^^ i knew he would and i do feel better about it all now
I got home, showered and collapsed on my bed for half an hour
then i read and went online
my brother has gone out and my parents have gone for a drink to celebrate 26 happy years
so i was home alone
so i blasted 'utakata saturday night' and enjoyed a dance!
tomorrow i want an easy day
i feel like playing with make-up hmmmmm
Konbanwa~
It is hot once again
another 25c day~
Pretty much a day of doing nothing is what today felt like
I have yoga tonight and thank god its an air conditioned room!!!
Today I woke up at 8am as the guy was here to fit the new front door
we've gone from white to blue~
Its nice and too good for the house haha
he guy ripped out our old door and said who ever fitted it 20 years was dodgey
did a bodge job, i wasnt shocked actually. the 90s was an era were everyone
was having ago at DIY XD
So I stayed round reading outside and had an easy morning, went online for a bit
started doing some drawing but didnt get very far
After lunch I went out with mum
I got some fabric to make another sei-fuku top
we got some keys cut for the new door, coloured keys of course!
I like choosing X3
Came home and slept
i couldnt focus no more and needed to rest for yoga
Tomorrow I have my first observation at school!!!! D:
I am nervous, Im nervous to what my teacher is gonna say to me
ive always been criticized in my life; by my dad, my high school teachers, my college teachers
so I have quite low self esteem when it comes to talking about my progress
Im sure it will be ok, the staff at school say 'you'll be fine'
So Im gonna be on best behaviour XD
wish me luck
My Haruhi Suzumiya figure came in the post today
the one I paid £6.50 for! No box but who cares, theres not a mark on her!
Otsukaresama Deshita~
In case anyone wondering, we had no internet yesterday therefore no blog
Stupid internet >.>
Today we have had My soul mate, My Millie for 1 year~
Anyway~
Today I have not stopped eating, I swear I have a hollow leg or something
Im not sure where Im putting it all XD
I woke up at 8am so a good start all ready~
After pets and breakfast I got cracking with my coursework
I had quite a bit of researching to do and it was dull but its over with now
In fact at 6pm I had just finished my essay. I will check it like Friday or something
with fresh eyes to go over an correct. Or correct what my biggest problem is...terminology
series the words I use are not good XD My writing comes across as someone with the vocabulary
of a 15 year old XD
At 1pm mum had to remind me to go to Karens XD
I got in my car, cus it was too late to walk
My car wouldnt start.... I wasnt totally surprised actually
I havent been in it for almost 3 weeks >< so mum had to drop me off!
It was nice to talk to Karen as always. She told me that yoga karen has found a studio
so she will have her very own studio to do yoga in! So soon we might be swapping places.
I talked about various things as usual. She said my health was good ^^ Probably because last time
I saw her I had that dumb virus.
When I got home I had a brew with mum
I asked her if she'd dye my hair and she said she would ^^
MY hair has gone very light, blond really as it does during the sunny weather
i dont have a problem with that, its the fact that my hair looks limp and greasy
using a semi-perminant hair dye seems to give it life and shine again
so i like to dye it every so often, never permanent tho
so here's me yesterday~
And me this afternoon~
Gone quite dark this time, but i think it was because of how light my hair was
now my hair is all soft and shiny :3
Tomorrow I am thinking of making another sailor top
one similar to love live sunshine's sei fuku
but it means going out for fabric :/ see if i can be bothered i guess
i have other stuff to make~
its still sooooooo warm
heres how far ive gotten with Watanabe You
