I completed my first uni degree (B of Music) and have since moved on to my next venture [just had a moment of woah venture is like adventure without the ad... i'll stop now] in life... that of teaching.
So at the beginning of the year whilst waiting for paperwork to be corrected/ updated... I tried to figure out what to do with my life.
To fill in some time and see if my love of theatre was still there I joined a musical society and boy oh boy was my love still there. This year I've been in two productions with this society and I've just auditioned for the next one... fingers crossed i'll get into this small cast of 23 (6 of which are dancers and I am not).
Midway through the year I thought hey I can't do nothing forever, as much as I like having time to myself... it's pretty ridiculous to not have a job and just be wasting my time away at 21. SOOOOOO I set off to uni again, teaching this time (masters) and I loved it... dead set, super content and so happy to actually be using my noggin again.
To top that, after months of job searching, when I returned to uni I was hired by a tutoring company and so I began tutoring on the side. Tutoring is pretty darn fulfilling, not only do I feel awesome for teaching people who don't know quite how to do things but i'm also teaching/learning myself again all the things that I once knew but had pretty much forgotten (Yay for maths, I seriously love it... what is wrong with me).
Anywho at present I'm on prac or Practicum as it should be called, I'm with Kindy and they are pretty much super cute. Much to the dismay of sooo many, I'm not really enjoying myself... I don't think I really want to do this as a career, especially not for the rest of my life but hey I could do casual while i'm figuring out what should be next.
Today in school we had to have our photos taken for part of a Christmas prep thing and so naturally I posed with a great big smile... later on in the day I was given a copy of my photos and some of the students had a bit of a peak, they were all really surprised saying "hey miss look you are smiling!!" my first thought was yeah, what, of course i'm smiling. Then they insisted that I smile like the picture and so I did and they seemed super shocked/excited... It was in that moment that I realised I'm not smiling in class and so the children don't even know what my happy face looks like - is that not heart wrenching?!
Normally I'm so happy and smiley that people are annoyed but in this case I hadn't shown any of my good/happy smiles. :(
But that's about all I can spit up today... Also I can't wait for the next post.. i've got some news to fill you in on AND obviously whether or not I got into the new production :)
