Laziness...

I know I haven't updated this in a while but nothing drastic has really happened. It's just been the same routine every week. Sport, prep school and filing. So on a day-to-day basis... Nothing new.

Since the 18/Jan... Lets See:

Gappers Conference - All the Stuff you need to know as a staff member and as a gapper. was an interesting course but almost all of it was covered by the school in the first two/three days we were here. Was a good day all-in-all though. Went to London and missed my boring day of the timetable.

Exeact Weekend - One weekend every half term where the students have to go home (or somewhere at least). Friday night I had Chinese with the guys, Saturday did lots of things (cooking, cleaning, washing, running, netball stuff, emailing, online shopping (oops :)) and other stuff), then Sunday morning I went to London again for the Church (Australia Day Celebrations). Apparently every gapper that has ever been to England has gone. Well, I can say I have been, and will happily never go again...

Australia Day!!! - Was at the prep in the morning which was so much fun because the Year 3 class I help out with are doing Flat Stanley at the moment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Stanley) and they sent all their own letters around the world, and their letter back that week was actually from Australia so it coincided and we had lots of fun talking about Australia. I gave them all a little clip on koala each and one little boy came up to me afterwards (he is usually very naughty and doesn't do work and is rude etc...) and said "Thank you Miss Lee, I am going to sleep with it every night!" NAWWWWW!!!!!!! He has been so good every time I go into the class and does all his work while I'm there and get his gold stars. (I could go on forever about this class but I will stop there.)

Coming Up This Week:
Dance by Design performance & Cirque Du Soleil. Shall update soon

2 Weeks In...

Finally settling in, gone through a whole week of my timetable and feeling very comfortable around the school. Great people (except the Kiwi I have to work with :P), great students and a great environment. Have myself involved in lots of extra-curricular activities already and going to be heavily involved in dance in about 2 weeks! netball has taken off with a bang and doing so much down on the courts. Not to much to tell, nothing incredibly new. Went out to brighton for the first time the other night and ended up bringing one of the guys home early (vomiting). but it was a good night, and I am actually glad I came home early.
heading off to Lonodon tomorrow for a Gapper's Conference so shall let everyone  know how thrilling that one will be. Friday-Sunday coming is Exeact weekend and we will be going to the Church (oh dear, help me) and living up Australia Day there.
Ideas are streaming in for Summer holidays and half term holidays.. --Me thinking at the moment, paddywagon with the other gappers through Ireland half term, and then two trips in the Summer holidays. Greek Island Hopper for 10 days at the start. 3-4 weeks doing other stuff and then a 14-day Europe unlocked tour... Yep, that's my plan so far... haven't booked yet though :/
No photos yet, but they will come eventually!

One Week In.

Been at Lancing for a week now and I am still loving it. Only done Sport, Admin, House Duty and Prep so far (big day coming tomorrow) but am still enjoying it.
Weather is not bad at all. Everyone is rugging up and saying how cold it is, but I'm not feeling the cold at all. I can be in a dress and cardy or trackies and a t-shirt and be absolutely fine. I even wore shorts and a t-shirt to Netball the other day. It really hasn't been all that bad -- but I have been told it only gets colder.. so bring it on.

My apologies for not posting here more often, but it's very basic day to day school stuff -- nothing exciting. No photos yet as I haven't really bothered to take my camera outside. I figured I have a whole year to show you all where I am and it'll keep you all waiting. :P

Lancing College

So I arrived here yesterday, and Wow. That is all I could say. You can see the Chapel from the freeway and it's massive!! It is kinda of boring but yet a beautiful building to look at, and inside is amazing!!
Yesterday consisted of meeting the other people and having a bit of a look around the school. We had dinner at the Deputy Head's office (my first boss) which was lovely but very formally informal. Was a bit strange but a great way to chat as a group and get to know about things to expect this year.
Today was staff INSET day and it was a rather lengthy day. Besides doing the same as what all the other staff where doing we had to get a couple of other extra things done as induction so it was a very full on day!!

Heading off to the Prep School first thing in the morning so it shall be an early bedtime for me. Well.. as early as I can.

Last Day in London

So not all that much to say. Met Sian and did a bit of shopping, came home and about to go to dinner - thinking I will go to my happy place (Covent Garden). Off to Brighton tomorrow to start the new job. Dinner at the bosses... little bit intimidating!
