Day 3

I could not come because of problems I had.

Day 4

It was actually the same as day 2, but I were sitting with kids and learning them english. I were showing pictures and they had to guess what is it in english and if they guessed I had given them a pen as a premie.

Day 5

Me and one teacher were taking loads of toys and cloth etc. from a little run. I had to carry very big bags up and go around the house. We were getting ready to make loppemarked for raising money to the school. I did wear loads of bags etc. and the day actually were the same. Just play with kids and all this kinda of stuff. At end we had to sing song yo a boy and we ate jelly and I got present and I did say bye to everyone and gone. I did enjoy the workweek. Because I worked with kids,outside,inside etc.

My last day in Valentinlys zoo

This is my last day in Valentinlys pet store.
It was very quiet than other days.
It was very nice weather and the wind was perfect.
I gave the birds new food and water as usually.
Then the boss came to me and said "you can go home now if you want" It was only 10:30 am. Only 1 and half our was passed. But Since I worked to effectively I finished 1weeks work in 3 days.
I asked her if there were no more works to do but she insisted.
She wanted to give me a gift card, but the machine didn't work so I got loads of bird equipment, so my birds was happy xD

I think it was very exciting and educative to work at that pet store. I really enjoyed.
She also wondered if I could work again next week.

A blast with Year 2!

Aight, so me knows I was supposed to write every day, but since I got myself the new Splinter Cell I thought to leave it for the end of the week for a longer sum-up! So here it goes:


This week, was probably one of the most educational weeks of my life embarrassingly enough... We've done all sorts of reading, some better than others, which resulted me having to sit there for 45 min. while trying to make him / her figure out how to put the letters in order so "Knife" won't be pronounced KNIFE in Norwegian pronounciation. I realize that being a teacher is damn hard work, as well I know realized I shall never become one! Maths, oooh yes the maths how fun was that, 'eh? Suddenly Mrs. Solbakken (class teacher) announced that maths was next. I just felt my heart beating so hard! "What if I can't do the maths, what if, what if" me thought. Of course they were only doing adding and subtracting, but it was tricky to teach as I was not able to teach... Ironically enough I looked at myself as a good teacher before this week, but it turned out alright when I realized three days later there was a teachers guide in the back of the books... Mrs. Agersborg came by to have Norwegian with us as well! For those whom do not know her, she was my Norwegian teacher many years ago, time has slipped by too fast. Mrs. Agersborg was still the same good old her, fun, angry, moody, kind and the top of the cake, gave no homework through the weekends. Mr. Sunde is also back in shape. Being a teacher as you might know gives some badass authority. It felt nice to finally get my turn to sit on the comfortable bench while the rest during the assembly had to squeeze in tiny spaces on horrible, back killing, blue plastic pillows. Aaah, yes I had recess duty too. I didn't know people could cry, argue, hit, bite and take each others hats that much in a week. Poor kids got some nasty knocks, and I totally kicked the year two's rear end in football(proud)!!! It felt good to get to wear the cool orange reflexes, go out to the field and chat with my comrades, and occasionally fool around with the little ones. Mats and all the rest of year eight which are coming to us next year, were also there, blasting my students' faces off with the ball. I got to take the ball from him and put it inside, while they had to play with stones on the ground, hahahahah, while I sat and drank my Fanta. Isn't life fair!



Now the children were the most awesome kids at that age I had ever met except for my class at that age. The little ones as I hoped and expected of myself really did like me. And for some reason they kept pulling down my pants...
Very cuddly the lot of them! I'd come in the morning and some of them would start to whisper something odd and then they all went: "Good morning Mr. Bazyar!!". I had to stay "professional" that week, so I had to become Mr. Bazyar, while I preferred Mr. B. Some of them were faking undone work to have me sit next to them and help 'em out, touching indeed. Anyone know the name "Brattbakk"? Well I know his daughter, that's right! Was fortunate enough to meet the lot of those fokes. Not that I look differently at my ex-students. They had a kiss game too, me of course was too shyyy, so I kept out of that one. Poor lads they never knew what hit them. I am probably in a teaching career being the funny teacher, silly and not. Had to jump ropes, but their hands and lengths are so little I had to get down on all four and jump rope like in the movies! Not easy I can tell yeh. I certainly heard, "My dog ate it" a few times! Hihi, I tipsed them to better ones such as; "I couldn't do it because of my dentist appointment". Or such. Heh, in the end I got in troubble. I had **ckloads of fun with them and I hope that they agree with me.

To sum it up working as a teacher has it's ups and downs. I'm sitting here listening to the still annoying "Memory" and "Butterlfies" along with the ever so painful "Pokerface" while admitting I'm gonna miss the students and Birralee. You get involved as a teacher there is a certain connection to some or all, which ye can't explain. Since they were so good to me that's probably why in my case, so there's the answer to all you teachers whom totally disagree with me! A killer week, and I'm sure all you guys have had too? Because you forgot to tell us properly... I really don't want to stop writing because it brings back the good memories, but I guess I have to so you guys can go enjoy your memories.
As for me, thank you Birralee for the wonderful two workweeks I've had, thank you the ones that could be arsed to read this, and thank you Year 2 for making my days enjoyable. Me is off to see Hercule Poirot now, have a jolly work experience in life!

P.S. If you see a spelling mistake, know I'm yet not a teacher and I still have a long way to go. In your face Marie and Kathrine!!!!-----> <3<3<3

LAST DAY ARBEIDUKE!

Today was my last day at the barnehage! The week really has gone very fast;-) We didn't really do much today, we stayed inside and played with HAMA beads ( I made one too, of a peace sign<3)
Then, it was lunch. Today was a "warm lunch" day, so the kids got carrot salad, potatoes and fish cake. Today was the birthday of this girl Emily, so her parents brought cake and waffles for everybody! It was her 5th Birthday. After that was going-outside time as usual, and so I just pushed the swings again. Soon it became time for me to go home, so I said goodbye to all the teachers and students, and left....
It was really fun spending time at the Barenhage for 5 days. It was very tiring on the 1st day, but I got used to the work quickly:-P I probably got more muscles on my arms from pushing the swings all day, and I can probably speak more Norwegian now, cuz I was speaking it all day. But... I did miss school sometimes (the people, I mean, not the studying XD), cuz here I had to act responsible and adult-ish, but at school I can just be a kid and speak English all the time <----- I missed speaking english!!!! Still, working at a barnehage was really fun, and the kids really adored me<3
:-) And that's my last workweek.....

Day 4 @ Barnehage

I can't believe the week's gone so fast! Today was my second to last day at the Barnehage. In the morning, I hung with these 2 girls and made them a bunny and a cat out of play dough. I think I did a pretty good job, because I stink most of the time. Then, from 10 :30, it was Choir time! The oldest kids in the barnehage "Gulgruppen" are going to walk in this procession at Nidarosdomen next week, so they needed to practice some religious songs. The kids have a REALLY great voice, I amazed everytime I hear them sing... (0.0) At lunch, I was trying to make the Kaviar from the tube come out, but then the end of the tube brok and I got Kaviar all over my jeans...
But then, when I was taking a break today, the other teachers threw a surprise party for this teacher Elise, who's worked at the Barnehage for 25 years. We all got cake, and she got flowers and a reisegavekort for 6000 kr! wow... The cake was really good too<3 Tomorrow is my last day. Then, it'll be back to school... yayyy? :-P
PS. I met Leo at Birralee today! He says he's doing a good job , but people say otherwise... XD
