Screw it

[nny]

Things going on in the house of Nny:

Mostly not a lot besides studying, to be quite honest. I've never done the organisation thing to a great degree before so I'm working out the strategies as I go, and that takes time in and of itself. I had a visitor from my Uni to observe my lesson and it was a particularly bad lesson, as such things go. There were positive aspects and negative aspects, much of which I already know, and I was basically told that my confidence in front of the class is good but my actual lesson plans need a lot of work. I've come a way, I've got a hell of a lot further to go.

*shrugs*

At least it didn't leave me in tears, right?

I haven't yet watched the latest two SG:A episodes which is killing me - I have them but I really don't have the time to allow them the squee-recovery time I have no doubt they'll deserve. So. Today I did eat the fruit pastilles I've been taunting myself with for a while, though, so yay.

I've signed up to be an extra in some show they're going to be filming in Bath and Bristol - it's by the people who wrote Life on Mars, apparently, and is about archaeologists. It's called Bone Kickers and apparently if they want me I'll get paid roughly £40 and fed for hanging around all day and being a student. Hell, I'm practically a professional. :D

Mostly what I want right now is a day off, since days off aren't actually days off, any more. I'd like to be able to watch SG:A, do some editing, write my sga_santa fic, but I guess that'll wait until I've a) caught up to where I should be and then b) got a little ahead.

I have to go plan a lesson now. Love to yez all. :)

I love you and am glad you ate your fruit pastilles. You can get more fruit pastilles; you can't get another day.

*smishes you tight*

You rock, honeybunches, you can do it, and I will hopefully talk to you later.

Nobody - not even (maybe especially) your uni people - expect you to have this down flat and perfect right now. And they shouldn't expect perfect lessons every time when you're all finished with training, either. You are so insanely brave for even attempting this, Nny... I don't even know how you do what you've done already. Hang in there. ♥

Um. This is doubtless the wrong time to ask, but i don't know when I'll have another break. ;) How swamped are you on Tuesday? Is there a spare 10 minutes, even? I will bribe you with tea!

For you, baby? :D

Any time after four, pretty much. I mean, I'm constrained by buses, which doesn't help, but...

...seriously?

'Constrained by buses' sounds scary. :O I mean, I will be constrained by trains, but we'll figure it out. I might just come a little earlier and hang out till 4 - we'll see! Hopefully i will know more about time etc soon, but that is a huge help. :D!!

Well, but at least that's something that you can WORK ON. Confidence is something you have, or do not have, but it's a lot harder to aquire when you don't have it, you know?

Also, between you and me: you need to prepare the lessons you give whenever a supervisor comes to see you, yes. You need to prepare every single detail, and no matter how hard you work, they will still find things they don't like. But in real life, in everyday worklife? Sometimes you will not be prepared enough, and occasionally this is when you'll have your BEST lessons. I am not kidding.

Also, *hugs*
