life

So I haven't written here in a while about what has been happening lately.

I went back to PukaPuka preschool where I did my 2weeks practicum, because I forgot to get something sign (flip). So I went back there and all the cute faces were eating their morning tea. Stanley gave me a smile and a small wave - I miss that little man. Trina waved lots and lots - I miss her pretty face. Cutting to the point, I miss them alot, its crazy how attached you can become to such small people in such a small amount of time. I was literally holding back the tears. 
So I have finished the Early Childhood part of my course and am now starting onto the OSCAR - out of school care part of my course. So I am in an after school programme which is in Onehunga and for 5-11 year olds. Not exactly what I was thinking I would be doing but to finish the course I have to finish this part aswell.
Was my second day today and I got a hug from a little boy - when I say little he was about 8 years old I would say - anyways, he asked my name a few times, then I got a hug, and hand hold and then an 'I love you' he made me smile, he made my day.
 I think it has been good going here aswell it has made me see that I do infact want to work with under 5year olds, mainly 3&4years olds :) But also that I could work in an after school programme aswell and not totally hate it.

In both centres I have been to and am currently in, both my supervisors and the teachers have been islander ladies, they are the most loveliest people I know, and I'm glad that I've been in 'south' auckland areas aswell because quite frankly I wouldn't want to work in a centre anywhere else.

So that is all that has been happening lately - and the world cup of course, my excitement is crazy, like seriously its amazing, you should all feel it, its like 10million butterflies and smiles and just everything all at once. I like rugby and the fact that its the world cup, and its in New Zealand. I mean seriously. Its flippin amazing. You should all be here.

I'm missing Vanuatu. Especially the children, I see photos, read my diary, read other peoples comments/pictures/stories about it and pretty much just tear up. I think after going there and especially helping out in the preschools over there made me fall in love with the country more. Oh flip I think I just like the island way of life.

Oh and its 9months till i'm 18years old! I am NEVER this excited for getting older or even counting 9months earlier to my birthday! But seriously, 18 I cannot wait AT ALL.

I got asked if I was Fijian, Indian and German in one week.

This is all.

So excited for the world cup. Bring it on ;)

RWC madness.

I sit here coughing, sniffing and sounding like a husky man cause of my cold. I went to work, and served people sounding like a man, how shaming. Ohwell.

While I was working I could hear the haka from the arrivals downstairs in the International Airport, our beautiful kiwi-selves were welcoming in rugby teams from different countries, how cool. It was so loud it could be heard all of upstairs of the Airport.

I love New Zealand, our culture, our haka, our rubgy team. Pretty awesome stuff.

I'm a huge All Black fan. Ever since I can remember whenever their was an All blacks game on us as a family would all sit around the TV and eat snacks and cheer our country on, its a kiwi thing, but a Coop thing also. It's what we do.
So I can not actually remember being this excited about something ever! Its amazing. Going to cheer my country on and stand with them if they lose (pfft like they'll lose).

I mainly only used to watch rugby to see Dan Carter's amazing face, but now I actually enjoy the game and take great pride in winning.

Rugby World Cup 2011! It is going to be so so sosososoososo great.

and just think, I'll be able to served all the teams flying out when they go through departures ;) sigh.
