After I lost my voice I did not work again until Friday. I was not able to speak again until Thursday night and even then I sounded like a boy in puberty. I worked at the Catholic school on Friday, I was in a year one class and then nursery. Nursery was fun they are 3 and you just play so that is always great! On Saturday I went to Portebelo Market, the market in Notting Hill from the movie. It was crazy busy and lots of tourists. Every time I hear an American accent I kind of perk up its strange. It was fun it was a nice day and there were stalls selling everything you wanted and did not want. Around noon a friend came in to town. She went to PLU for a year and is studying in Manchester for the semester. Once Kristen got here we went and garbed lunch in my neighborhood then went into the city center to see about getting tickets to a show. We went to different booths claiming to be half price and went to theaters but they were sold out or all 60 pounds. That is about 120 dollars. We ended up going back to my flat and just watched movies. It was great to catch up and have someone who knows the same people and places as I do.
On Sunday we got breakfast then went to Spitfields market. That was a really great market a lot of similar stuff to portebelo but different also and it was covered which was great because it was raining. We went back to my flat and had dinner with my flat-mates and Marsela's boyfriend. It was so good, she made lamb with rosemary and lots of vegetables and potatoes. There was lots of wine and dessert it felt like out own little Christmas dinner. We are going to try and do that kind of a thing every once and a while. Kristen left on Monday morning and I went and worked a half day at the first school I was at four weeks ago. I was in the nursery and had a good time. There was a mix up and were to many supply teachers, luckily as I got there first I was able to stay and work, when one girl got sent home with out pay. After work I went to High Street Kensiginten and did a little shopping. I found a dress for Dennis's wedding next week and a few other things. Today I went to a new school to cover teachers being pulled out for IEP meetings. It was a school just for students with special needs. It was amazing to see the skills students have learned and the inclusive community because the school is for students with sever learning or behavioral needs. I was in one class with seven 5 year olds that had 4 aids because of the high needs of the students. It was a much different approach then we have at home or that i have ever seen. As of right now I do not have work for tomorrow but I do on Thursday, then Friday no work because im going home! only for 10 days though, but it will be great! See some of you soon and hope to hear from the rest of you. Love lots Ang
