Nearly at the end of the paper tunnel

I am nearly at the end of the week, where all the assignments are done and I am free for a while, except for the lesson planning I have to do. I will ring the school I am going on placement to next week and have a chat with the teacher about what the class is learning about and where I can take them next. I am feeling a bit aprehensive about this, for a few reasons, I haven't really planned a unit of work, I don't know anything about these kids, its a boys school, and I felt so confused and unsure about myself last placement. But I know that everyone else is in the same boat. When I get there and meet them I will hopefully find that they are not so bad. I am looking forward to meeting the teachers and students. It is the classwork that I am unsure about. But only because I haven't done it before. I will keep telling myself that I am an expert on music and theory and stuff by now, I have worked very hard to know all the stuff that I do about it. I am smart and mostly quick thinking, and I know how to explain things to people. In a working environment I am organised and tidy, at least at Safeway, and I know how to work as a team. Surely that is enough positives to outweigh the negatives. I will be fine once I have been there and started it.

A very sad thing happened the other day. The next door neightbours dog got into our yard and killed our bunny. The dogs had chased it out of the cage and around the yard until it died. We were too late to save it by the time that the neighbour had come next door and knocked to let us know. I don't know how things are going to go when we go over there and talk to them, but for the sake of my cat and our peace of mind they had better do something pretty damn good. Steph loved that bunny to bits. Its a shame that she has that stress on top of her exams.

Its the same thing as when Berlioz died, the feeling that something is missing, like when I put the cat out on its lead and it jumped up on the cage to watch the bunny like it always did, only there wasn't a bunny there.

Yes, I did say put the cat out on the lead. On a harness. We live inner city, and the cars got our last cat. Since I have done it, let the cat out only on the lead, it doesn't mind, putting the harness on means going outside. And the few times that it has gotten out, or Mark has let it out to run around without it, it doesn't go far at all, being used to a short distance it can go on the lead.

I love my Kitty.
