26 June 2010, it has been a long long while since i last blogged here.
It has been a very busy, tiring, stressful, and very cold few weeks.
Definitely no mood for blogging but, i'm doing it now, yay!
Maeva is now truly settled into kindy and loving it. Her best friend is Rania.
She's a lot more well versed with letters, she would yell out the letters as we're driving, and when she sees them on shops and signs and adverts.
It's very funny now how she identified letters, for example, M for Maeva.
O for Omega, but she never says Omega, its always O for Aunty Mega.
V for Victor (her cousin in Marseille). S for Sheree. W for Wendy.
S for Samoa.
She loves singing and dancing, so lately, we've been having dance offs in her room.
I lie on her bed while she bows and makes up a dance and show, then she bows (ifo!) and It's my turn.
The songs are about everything and anything.
Purple is still her colour,. And the ultimate dream for her is a purple little piglet that go "wee wee wee".
She can say colours in English, French and Samoan - she is very proud to point this out.
She continues to love reading, she drives me and Gui up the wall by asking to have so many books read to her. So what I do is make her read me the book for a change. Or I just pretend to sleep so she leaves me alone. Bad Mom!
She loves painting, drawing, scribbling, especially Ms.MMMMMM.
Loves playing with her friends (close friends), shes definitely not going to be the ice breaker at the party, she's quite a calculating child, she stops, scans the area and then chooses her moment,.
This isn't always a good thing when I am in a rush in the morning and her besties are not in kindie yet, and she will not release me until a teacher catches her attention.
She's had a bad few weeks, for a few days she coughed and coughed repeatedly, not much sleep. She was getting her asthma problems again. We now have a new doctor, who is brilliant and got her a different inhaler which did magic for her cough. The only problem is that she inhales, then it causes her to vomit (out the phelm and all the gunk blocking her airways) and then she is fine after that, and thankfully drowsy.
Then another few days of good health then a fever, so back to the doctor we go.
She has been like this since she was born, especially beginning of winter then she gets used to it.
Gui continues to play rugby and working for those shets at the same workplace.
I am still at uni until 31 aug when my contract finishes. It will most likely be extended but I am not too keen to continue as it is getting more and more a finance/accounting role which I detest with so much passion.
I just finished my online paper with School of M n Pac Developmt, which was okay, but I submitted ALL my assignments late. well, I started the course late due to enrolment, student loan issues.
I am now meant to submit my proposal for the thesis and that will be my focus tomorrow at the labs.
This whole juggling thing is making me just frustrated and over it. I'm hating this place so much and I want to get the hell out of shitty old Hamilton. That is my inspiration at the moment, get that bloody thesis over with and get the hell out of here.
...where to?
Don't know,
Don't care.
I left home for uni in 1999. I only spend a year and a bit back home in 2003. I want to be home but also realistic that I need to find a job before I do anything drastic.
I am scanning the job section of every possible organisation that suits my qual and work exp as a GOAL to get my a into G.
Okay, i need to end with a positive note: especially about this place:
- Maeva's medical costs zero, so we dont spent a cent on her frequent trips to the doc.
- Fresh fruits
- All Blacks are in town, yay. sure.
- That we have a functioning heat pump that keeps us warm in this cold period.
- That there's people doing worse off, so I should brighten up and count my blessings.
