So, I've completed three weeks of work now ... I really love the job, and pretty much everything related. I feel like I am now settled in enough to be able to start looking past making sure routine things are getting done and learning about the kids and their behaviour, to look at applying some creativity to the position, and figuring out how to bring in more games and such that will create more unity than we currently have. The kids are really great, generally, and I am finding ways to connect with most of them. I am kind of concerned about some of the stuff going on with a few of the kids, but at the same time I have to remind myself that we are only 3 weeks in and I have many more months to spend working with this little society.
Outside of work I've also been really busy. I've spent about 5 hours each week cleaning, which has been nice, as it's at a nice place in Cadboro Bay where there are 2 lovely dogs that I can snuggle and play with. Here's a picture (they're a lab/daschund cross, and a labradoodle (who is a puppy in this pic)):
Anyway, so that's been good to make some $ to cover groceries. I've also been playing hockey (obviously), biking a lot, and started going to a Bible study on Genesis. I am also going to be playing intramural indoor soccer, which will be fun ... and yeah, my job means I have to get up at around 5:44am every morning, and it's getting late ...
