it is finished

I completed my ATP (my final prac for my primary teaching course) yesterday! The last week was quite stressful for me as I knew what mark I was going to get for my prac and I knew I wasn't satisfied with the result, and when I did receive the mark I just kept thinking what I could have done to make my prac even better... but oh well my prac has already been evaluated. The past few weeks have really made me think about my future, my career, whether to stay in Australia or not, my fears and expectations, etc. (well as much as my brain could handle with the average of 3-4 hours sleep I was getting every night) I'm looking forward to the two week holiday I have (before I go back to uni to finish up my last unit for the course) to just relax, clean up my room, unpack my books from its boxes, and catch up with friends and family. My sister was really thoughtful and sweet & bought me hyacinths to congratulate me on finishing my prac...

I watched my first AFL (Aussie Rules football) Grand Final on TV (a 42" Plasma TV) at Bryce's house today . Perth's West Coast Eagles were playing Sydney Swans so it was quite a patriotic affair. It was a very awesome and intense game sadly the east coast team won the championship by four points. We ended up having to wind down with some ice-cream in Fremantle....
