Today is the day I start my internship. Today is the day I'm going to get myself killed... >_<

Such a detrimental attitude
What kind of internship are you embarking on?

Lol yes Noble.. I'm complaining! There's an important difference! Bare with me.. You have the blueish white killer light that bounces off the snow with piercing precision(!!!) and the nice, cosy yellowish light that comes directly from the sun and gives you a nice easter tan

I'm good, I'm off to the cabin today, just been packing all the things I need, all the things I think I need, all the things I think I'd need if I was in a very needy situation, all the things I don't need and last but not least all the things I don't need but that I think I might possibly need if I became needy in a way that I rarely do

Hows the spring thaw in Finland?
Ah, the killer light... I hates light. I would prefer living in permanent twilight right now. And the sun awakes me too early every day. *plans a Noble Weapon Of Sun Killing, launches, misses, swears, and gives up* And if someone dare wonder how I can miss the Sun, I'll gladly aim them there next. (Of course not.)

Thaw? If that means melting... *checks the dictionary conveniently located next to him* my, it did! Well, the sand roads are rather interesting to drive, but otherwise there's hardly any snow/ice on the roads. However, the white substance is stubbornly present everywhere else. I don't mind, I like snowy and dark weather, except while driving. BTW... people, please visit te Riddling thread! It's done gone stopped dead! My riddle awaits...

(I was going to write a joke about driving, sun and kids, but then thought it would end up as badly as my last one. So no jokes from me for a while. )

Teaching a whole class of 7-year olds...

Actually, I survived. I'm completely exhausted (and I didn't even really teach! ), the kids are busy and loud and there are several special needs kids in my class and the level ranges from 'very weak' to 'highly gifted'... but they are sweet kids and I did have fun. I dreaded it a lot, but now I think I can handle it because at least the kids respected me and they respect eachother. Plus, the teaching style of my mentor is somewhat similar to mine: no nonsense. That makes things a lot easier.
Their names however! So exotic! How am I ever going to remember those!? >_<

Next week I get to do a math and a language lesson.

What is the point of getting up in the morning or at all?

My sweetie is at school all morning then working all night. I have no job and only one class. Pointless.

Cup of tea anyone?

Tea?

*doesn't expect anyone remembers her*
*is popping in regardless*

Mari, 7 year olds are awesome. Younger kids can come up with the most brilliant original ideas!

Aika! Wow, you've been gone for a terribly long time!
How are you? Rinkë has left Entmoot though, don't know if you knew?

Oh and yeah, I know kids are awesome, but having to teach 30 of them with different levels is a whole different cup of tea...
Speaking of tea: tea? *gets herself a glass of ice tea and puts the kettle on*

I didn't know she left, but then I was gone myself, so...eh...good to see you again, though! *hugs*

And tea would be lovely

You're right, mixed ability classes can be difficult - I've been working asa teaching assistant, so I know how that is.

*pours Aika a cup of tea* Be careful, it's hot.
Speaking of hot: how is your weather? I hope it's as lovely as it is here
I spent the afternoon working on my tan

*sips tea* It's relatively warm for April at the moment, but currently raining. I don't mind that, though, because I rather like the rain!

So...dare I ask what important things in the life of Entmoot I missed?

Aika! Good to see you back! Do come along as often as you can!

Has Rinkë left? I thought she just wasn't posting much. Did she say that she was leaving? I missed that ...

She said she was taking a break. So presumably she will eventually show up again...

Tea?

A break? That's better. We'll allow her that

Tea - yes, please! Milk, no sugar.

Good morning, everyone!

I have tea. And toast. And cashew nut butter, which is actually better on toast than peanut butter, even though I never would have believed that until I tasted it.

I'm supposed to finish packing my suitcases this morning. I hate doing that, because I *always* forget things.

There is such a thing as cashew nut butter? Sounds interesting! No salt I hope?

Did you make a list Aika? Just assemble everything on the list on your bed and cross it off AFTER you've put it in your suitcase. Always works for me
If you need a double check on your list, ask someone.

Today I'm going out with a Japanese and Norwegian friend. I'm looking forward to it, though I hope the weather will get a bit better. It's very warm, but also a bit sombre with all those clouds. I'm happy with the temperature though *is sitting in skirt and tanktop*
