Hi everyone. Sorry it's been a while, to be honest I don't really feel like I have that much to report because I haven't done that much different this week! Last week at work flew by, really starting to get into a routine now and I can't believe how quickly it's going, I've nearly been here 2 months already! Work is going quite well in general, me and Maeve have decided on our projects for P4 and P5, (african safari and dinosaurs) so i'm looking forward to starting them because to be quite honest going through the 'in the rainforest' and 'dogs diary' readers over and over again makes me want to pull my hair out!

They told us when we arrived 'To put it bluntly, august is horrible, don't judge the year by August' so it feels really good to have made it through that first month without having a nervous breakdown! To much has really happened to properly recap so i'm going to have to do it briefly and then start from now! Orientation was very overwhelming, we were in a school in the new territories and we had instructions from the project managers in the ... read more
