My first two days back in class....

In one of my recent Discussions, I spoke about how I was feeling some anxiety going back to my Childcare Course as we had all been on holidays for about a month. And just like predicted, not long after I was there on Tuesday, I was feeling alright.
I originally wanted to post this Discussion either Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon but even though I was around on MyLot, I was too tired to do this post. Actually I'm still tired now. 
Finding it hard to shake off the tiredness lately but I think it's due to the heat. 
So anyways, Tuesday's class was fine. Was great to see the people I befriended there. We didn't actually do a lot of work yet got a lot done. Then on Wednesday, oh the butterflies I felt! 
Class starts at 9am, we finished off a unit. So that's done and dusted and around 10:30am the teacher (a stand in teacher as our teacher is still on holidays) told us that if we were done and had nothing to catch up on that we could go. But if we wanted to stick around, she would pop "Rabbit Proof Fence" on whilst we finish off work. I've already done this unit! And I've already seen this movie whilst doing this unit last time (I saw it years before this course too) and I wasn't in the mood to be sad or working on anything else there. I could finish off homework at home! So my friends and I all gave each other that raised eye brow look as if to say "We staying or going?" We all left. A very quick day! So happy because I wasn't feeling it that day nor were my friends.
That's pretty much it really. Our next Prac block is in February so that should be interesting. Let's see if I get sick again! 
Anyway, not much to say, Tuesday and Wednesday was fine but still not feeling it yet. I will still finish this course but my brain still feels occupied with thoughts of not knowing if I truly want to do this as a career. I don't know, we will see.
Hope everyone is good. Thank you for reading!

@marlina I'm not sure if you ever saw my post while I was doing my last Prac but around that time is when I started to wonder. Because in the classroom learning about it is so much different than actually being in a Childcare Centre. It was around that time my mind has been confused and questioning as it's really stressful when actually placed in that environment. So right now, I'm just still only wondering about it.

@marlina No worries. 
To be honest, I really do not know. I keep thinking about being a masseuse. This has entered my mind for a great many years now.

It happens to feel more tired than usual. This evening I feel really tired, I am going to quit soon, take care of the dinner and read some pages of a book. I am so glad that the class was fine. I am sure it was great to go back after the break. DO NOT get sick again in February, take care.

@VivaLaDani13 I had a good sleep the past night, I went to bed at 10 pm and I woke up at 4:30, it was relaxing. Take care and keep healthy.

@JudyEv Thank you kindly. I did get some sleep. And yeah the heat does seem to knock me around a bit. I feel awful for my dog and cat though. They do not like the heat either poor things.

@VivaLaDani13 We see the kangaroos licking their forearms when it's really hot. It's hard for animals.

I guess it's the inertia to resume after a break that makes you feel sick. I could visualize that raised eyebrows looks that you mentioned. I hope you don't feel any anxiety when your next block starts in February.

@arunima25 I actually think that was the case to be honest. I mean I suffer with anxiety anyway but to not do something for awhile, I get in that pattern and comfort zone.
lol when I imagine us three looking at each other, it makes me laugh now.
Thank you so very much, I really hope I don't but I probably will due to going to another Childcare Centre. The one I was in didn't have babies and toddlers and I need to practice with them to pass.

@VivaLaDani13 I took get a bit anxious about something new. But it is not so much. I guess it's just a regular excitement and nervousness in my case and I overcome it easily.
I hope you have a good experience while practicing with these toddlers and babies.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do as a career as well. I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

I hope you're feeling well and better rested. What is your major? Childcare? I could understand how real experience is far different than classroom. All the best as you think through if this major is for you

@VivaLaDani13 i am supporting a fellow teacher with humor. I wrote a book many years ago (it is out of print now) called
"There are days you just want to go home."
it was a fictional diary of the year in a life of a teacher.

@prinzcy Thank you so very much and yep, I sure did. I got sick 5 times from being in Prac. Some lasted for over 2 months. Right now I'm only back in class but Prac starts up again in February. So I'm sure I will get sick again then too.
