Work, school and stuff.

So, week 3 (of 4) of my work placement has come to an end and I can't believe how quick it has gone! Only 5 more days of work and then back to school again...

My artsy assignment with the kids went really well! :) All of us enjoyed making a bit of a mess and the end results were really good! :) Taking over my supervisor's daily routines also, no problems at all. "Finally" my teachers visit on Thursday, all good! No "complaints" from me or my supervisor...

My cold is very persistent! Going from runny nose to cough to nose to throat and cough with runny...and so on and so on...
I'm thinking it'll stick for the rest of the work placement and another two weeks after that...since my immune system has to get reacquainted with the school environment again! *sigh* Oh well, I'm thankful it is just a cold and not anything that has forced me to stay at home. Also, my big sister said that she'd heard that if one has had the cold virus one's body is better equipped dealing with the "new" (apparently we're not calling it the swine flu any more) flu...! :)

On Monday this week I also got my application in for the spring term (more on my plans for the future here!). The total of points I've applied for is 600. I'll only need 400 (or possibly just 350?) for the spring term but a few of the courses (Creative writing and History of culture and ideas) that I'm really wanting to do might not get the go-ahead due to the fact that there's not enough interest. I've also applied to do more maths, natural science, philosophy, psychology and history... :D I'll have a hard time choosing which ones not to do if I'm accepted into all of them!

Not so great that I missed the cut off date for studying over x-mas/new year, i.e. getting my study grant over the school holidays. Which means less than half my study grant in December which in turn means that our x-mas/new year is looking kind of (very!)...poor...! :/ We'll see what we can do to sort it out, but...not looking great at the moment and it's really giving me a bit of a stomach ache thinking about it...

Ending on o positive note! My phone's fixed! S ordered the LCD-display from China for a fraction of the price it'd have cost me to get it sorted in Sweden and got it working again! :D He did mess up one of the speakers in the process but the phone works! :) SO pleased! :D
