Work is going really well, I can report. :-) My boss / colleague has even hinted at me getting to stay there a couple of months longer. Nothing is decided yet, but yeah... Hopefully. Keep your fingers crossed! If it comes through, I'll be working there until May or until school ends in the beginning of June. Then we'll see what happens. :-) Things are looking up!
Haven't done that much during the evenings more then trying to read up on LJ and reading fanfic and roleplaying. Man, all my characters are getting damn busy! And one of my characters ended up in another one-on-one game! o.O That makes three games with three characters so far, one game being the massive multifandom game![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
cityofdesai. Yep. Busy. ;-) I sure don't need to find any new games now. *grin* I am having fun though, and that is what is most important, not to mention getting friends in the process. Always a bonus. ;-)
Been a Thursday at the library today, and yeah... Those last 3 hours really wrung me out, as they seem to be doing every Thursday. And it was no fighting and no rough housing in the library at all. They were just... A LOT of loud kids all wanting attention RIGHT NOW! And that kinda makes my brain go die a little and me not working very well after a while... :-P Not to mention making me damn tired.
Something really cute and touching happened during the first hours of the day though. Most of the kids in this school are from other countries. Conflicted countries with war and such. I don't know how, but during discussions of a fairytale with a group of 8 year olds, we ended up in the pit of discussion kids being hit... the boys in the group all trying to be little macho men, while they girls said it was horrible. Neither me or my boss / colleague were very amused with the boys antics, so she left them with me since they couldn't hear the beginning of the fairytale as punishment for not behaving. (They were laughing and making fun of the subject and war.) After a lil while they calmed down though, and were allowed to go listen to the fairytale. One boy, however couldn't complicity calm down, and was sent out with me. Where he promptly broke down in the corner of a sofa... Poor kid. These children has really seen a bit to much then they should... He just wanted attention and went about the wrong way to get it. We talked a bit while he cried and sniffled, and I ended up with the kid sitting in my lap. Anyone who knows me know I am good at that quite support and love... and it seemed it was just what this kid needed. He calmed down considerably after that, and listened to the rest of the fairytale curled up in my lap.
I must admit. This touched me a little bit. Yeah, you'll hear me rant and rave over these kids not behaving and such, but really. They are good kids. They just go about getting attention the wrong way. They are in a strange country without understanding all of the culture here in Sweden, not to mention they've probably seen things kids shouldn't see...
I hope I get to stay in this school library so I can work with and for these kids. They deserve it.
Right so... After all that serious talk, I'll continue with this meme then. :-P
( Previous days... )
19. The initials of your crush(es).
Going with RL crushes here, it would be PA. If we are talking fandom, it would be several... WT, JS, GS, GL, WS, RH and X, G and A. :-)
20. Do you wear glasses? If so, what are they for?
Yes, I do. Since I was 11 or 12. I am quite near sighted, and would be hazard in traffic without them... when walking. X-D
21. Your favourite subject to study.
I would LOVE to study sexual orientation during historic times... During school I loved history and literature. :-)
22. Do you play a sport? Tell us about it. If not, talk about a different hobby you may have.
Not playing any sports, but I love to dance. :-) I don't do it that well, but I love to really let lose to music. Hence, my exercise of choice is Zumba... I haven't done it in a while now. Should really get back to it again. :-)
( Future days... )
