Yep. It should be an apprenticeship, or hybrid. Maybe 2 years theory, 2 years apprenticeship, or 3/1. I’m hoping to get a job as a TA next year to get some classroom experience before I graduate (sometime in 2027 I hope)

You’re studying Education as well? I’ve felt the same. I know the theory behind stuff but NFI on how to actually teach. Placements aren’t long enough.

My daughter plays it. It gets stuck in my head.

In an attempt to be more social, I engaged in small talk today.
Her: We are always so busy.
Me: Well it is a growing industry.
I was getting a haircut
I am pretty sure I heard what cringe sounds like.

Thankfully banks don’t seem to be so busy these days.

It’s plaster. And just posters and other paper stuff. Nothing heavy.

Getting my daughters room painted tomorrow. Any advice on what to use to hang pictures, etc on the wall? I want to avoid using blue tack or anything that could pull paint like it has this time around?

Some of you know I write books. And I write spooky stories for kids. These stories are set in Tasmania. I have written 7 books in the series over the past 3 or so years.
Why is it only now I have thought up the story idea titled “How I got my Second Head?”
Staring at me this whole time.

They’re releasing a new dummy based on the OG Slappy. Definitely adding it to my collection.

It’s actually working out quite well for me. At least so far. I’ll stick with it and see how it goes.
Having it on my phone is also helpful. Especially when I do placements and need to think up quick games or just reminders about techniques and strategies I will no doubt forget in the moment.

I put on a goosebumps 90s episode last night to watch with little one and man the 90s melancholy/nostalgia/wistfulness hit me so hard. Oh to be able to go back to that time.
Oh a side note, I love how Slappy scares my 9 year old. She talks tough about not being scared of anything, but as soon as Slappy moves his head she’s clinging to me like she’s about to fall off a mountain lol.

I’ve created a kind of cheat sheet for uni with references to advice I’ve read, teaching theories etc. I was using a google sheets spreadsheet for it but dot points and images aren’t formatting properly for my liking.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a cloud-based note taking option? I am about to try OneNote but thought Id see if there are other options too.

Thank you! I don’t know how, probably because they give them out like lollypops, but I am on HD streak of 7 so far.

Uni results day today.
I passed my placement - yay.
HD on my final assignment in one unit - w00t.
Still waiting on the results for the other unit. I dunno why the first 2 released at 9am and this one is taking ages.

I had carpets removed and floorboards put in and it left a little gap behind the fireplace. A tiny mouse came in while I was watching TV and then went back (so I found the hole). I plugged it up with steel wool and expansion foam. Then I also finally set up my sub woofer. My house shakes anytime something with bass goes on. I’m hoping it scares them off as well.

Looking to get another HDD for my NAS. Same as the last one I got (16tb iron wolf). My god, the price jump. It’s almost double in price from when I bought the first one.

For real. I expected him to be ok with it, but the whole dont worry about AL thing was just completely out of left field. Relieves a lot of stress.

I told my boss about my studying (complete career change) and how I would be leaving at some point. Told him about my last lot of annual leave was for my placements and I’d have enough leave for my next placement but after that I’d probably have to leave.
His response was: Don’t worry about taking leave for it. We’ll work something out.
I was umming and uhhing for months on whether I should tell him or not and decided yesterday to do it because it would then force me to decide how to approach studying/working instead of worrying about it. That went a whole lot better than I expected.

I know I should get over it, but do you think it’s ‘ok’ to be miffed about donating something to someone and not even getting a thank you in return?

The dream somehow turns into action movie about guitarist saving a country from some kind of chemical warfare.
Desperado in Australia. I’m down for this.
