Wow, Tuesday again... and I haven't even written about my afternoon in school last week. I went in on Wednesday to see some different lessons, as I normally just do IT. It was a bit of a mixed bag really - tasting space food, history (toys, again!), reading, and helping out the teacher with some paperwork. It's really good to be able to see different sides of teaching (i.e. paperwork, preparation, record keeping etc) as it's helping me to be mroe informaed about the profession I am planning on entering. As ever, I had a great time - the children all know me well now, and I got lots of "why weren't you here yesterday? you're meant to come on Tuesdays!" from them. And I've only been going for 4 weeks!

It's my PGCE interview a week on Friday - it's really come up fast. It seems only yesterday that it was 8 weeks away! I started on my presentation yesterday, but when writing ideas down it ended up more like an essay, so I'm trying to think of a different approach. I've done loads of research - started right back before Xmas - but need to get it into some sort of coherent and interesting presentation. I'm not worried about actually doing the presentation, as I've done a lot of public speaking, more about making it interesting and relevant.

I can't believe that in 2 weeks I will be back to frantically checking the gttr site to see if Southampton have accepted me. I really don't want to think about what i'd do if they don't. Moving isn't an option, as we've just bought a house in Southampton, so I guess I'd have to look at other Unis in the vicinity, and SCITTS - there aren't any in Southampton (apart from one Catholic one) so either option would involve quite a bit of travelling.... but let's stay positive - I will get a place....!
