Proudest moment of day: Getting a 9mon old to stop crying by "peekaboo!"ing at her
Yes, Lucia quite liked me. I quite liked the Plunket course/psych internal, even though apart from the odd "development omg" stuff it seemed rather irrelevant to the whole psychology shebang - I mean, this was a course on looking after small children, not really what makes small children tick. I think this type of thing should have been a Coping with Teenage Motherhood internal or something instead of Psych. (Are there subjects like that? Because there totally should be.) Or they could stick it in Employment Skills for people who want to do nannying. All the same, lots of useful information and skillz, along with points of amusement with a series of questions where we just answered "risk of suffocation" for everything and then another series of questions where I tried to make "Plunket" the new "suffocation". That didn't work so well.
I think my accent is changing. Yesterday I asked some Canadian (so I discovered) girl in the other photography class whether she was Canadian or American (had to check the Canada thing because she wears a Canada badge, not that this is a reliable indication considering I used to wear one for Wales) and after answering, she returned the question to me. One of the mums at the Plunket asked me if I was American after she mentioned she lived in Washington and I almost immediately asked "DC or State?" (it turned out to be DC), and another one asked me if I was Canadian. Huh. I should take up French.
Signed up for Year 12 Workchoice Day, mostly because I'm really enjoying having four days off school and one day off and/or in mufti. I was thinking about doing the Design one, because it seemed slightly more sensible than signing up for two performing arts ones, but I got someone put off by the people already signed up for it. And I was way too amused by how everyone signed up for the Design course was Asian. Police, health (Capital Coast Health), and ballet (Royal NZ Ballet) would have been somewhat pointless for me; advertising looked like lots of people were signed up so I wasn't sure I'd get in... And so I ended up signing up for the stage performance stuff at the St. James or Opera House (I scribbled in a "NOT THE OPERA HOUSE" as I think I'd get sick of the place - and it's on the 15th so I'd be there in the evening anyway) or the Whitireia Performing Arts stuff at Pataka. I was first to sign up for Whitireia, I wonder why...
