stuffs spn_j2_xmas, the 130-participant exchange I've been modding, is slowly winding down. Only a few more days until everything should be in, and then that's a wrap. I'll be sad to see it go...
My work situation still hasn't resolved itself. I'm working as much as always, still in two places, but the stress level has still gone down. I am angry about one thing though: I used to work with the 0-2 year olds, in mid-December I began working with the 3-5 year olds, and I'm very happy with them. I'm beginning to work on writing/recognising numbers and their own name and stuff. I can do the "morning circle" thing all by myself - y'know, when we sit down and sing a little and tell them about we're going to do that day - I really really feel very comfortable there. But on Friday I got the message that in February I'm going to have to go back to the babies :( The fuck, I say! There's no way around it, but I knew this was gonna happen when they called in this new woman to try out if she'd be a fit to work with the 3-5yos. She isn't, in my eyes - but I don't know if my assertion of her is just a result of what I knew was gonna happen. Is gonna happen. ARG. I can't even put it into words. This is just - for me, it's ridiculous, because I know this will be a rivalry situation. And I don't usually do that. She gets my spot. She SHARES MY FUCKING NAME. GO AWAY, NOW.
D:
On a good note, I'll fly out to London on April 22, continue on to Kent on April 25, return to London on May 1, fly back to Berlin on May 2. I already know I'm going to meet up with a couple SPN/RPS-oriented people, which is, I'm sure, going to be a shitload of fun. And of course there'll be all you lovely HP people to meet in Kent at the latest, too! Yay.
I'm also looking into possibly attending merlinmeet, should it take place in London. It might mean I'm going to be in London July 2-6, as well! Wouldn't that be amazing, don't you think? :D
I'm actually gobsmacked at how much I can look forward to for this year. I'll be in Hamburg for a weekend to attend the musical The Lion King with my mother in March, I think; my mother might go to work in Munich, so I'll probably visit her there, too; liquorice_wheel might spend a year in France, where I firmly plan to visit her, too. Heh. So much I want to do! OMG YAY! Hopefully it'll work out financially... We'll see.
