It’s been a looong while but nothing really all that interesting has occurred. I was very busy finishing off my linguistics subject & finally completed my essay on Aboriginal English. I haven’t got the results yet but should all be a-ok. I have scored a new job working on a pre-university English course at Adelaide Uni. The focus is not really so much on English but rather on university skills- critical thinking, essay writing, public speaking, group work. It’s going to be very different to the fun & games we had in my last course! & speaking of my last course, I received my student feedback in the post the other day & I was very satisfied. Thankfully all my students seemed to think that I was an effective teacher so it was a nice confirmation that my new career path is working out.
Paul has also been extremely busy finishing off this semester. I can not really begin to describe how much happier we will all be once he gets his last assignment done. Only one more weekend of hell. I pray that our current grind will actually pay off in the long run as it really is not fun now.
Master Ash has been going really well indeed. He is my turbo baby. So much energy. I am very pleased to report that he does seem to be sleeping better in general. Although it does seem crazy to me that at only 9 months he has decided that one day sleep is sufficient! It pains me to say it but the sleeping has improved since I cut down my breastfeeding & started giving some formula feeds. Oh, the natural parent in me is ashamed but Ash is thriving & we are getting more sleep.
Anyway, gotta go- it’s a work day & I have a wriggly worm climbing all over me wanting breakfast!
