we had community action for the first time yesterday, and yes it was oh so tiring.
my partner's adela, one of the many boarders at plc. we went to elc, which is the abbreviation for early learning center. apparrently we got to choose where we wanted to go, but some people had to go to plc junior school or elc. Personally i would rather go to my primary school which is burwood east primary school, but alas I must not be selfish, even though beps (burwood east primary school) is closer to my house, elc is only of walking distance to the boarding house.
so, yesterday, Friday 25th July 2PM, Adela and I head off to ELC.
-deep breath- to be honest, i never liked little kids. and yesterday, made me hate little kids even more.
there were these annoying little girls (who come from a rich family of course) coming up to me and suddenly hugging me and asking what my name is, one kept on singing a random song, one kept on pulling my jumper, one kept on pulling the shoelaces of my boots, one kept on pulling my hand..
this was bad enough for me, but i did not know what lied ahead. it was "play time" for them, it was time for them to go outside and play. first this little girl pulled me to go play in the sandpit, and they were pretending that it was my birthday, they made "cakes" out of wet sand, and put dinosaur candles on top of them and sang happy birthday to me.
can't you imagine how embarrassing that was.
and then while i was talking to this little girl, one of the girls suddenly cried, apparrently one of the other girls said something not very nice to her.
so i moved out of the sandpit to the playground, they all wanted me to go on the monkey bars (which was unfortunately too short for me) andd go down the slide and the fireman pole.
it was certainly a tiring day yesterday, as soon as i got home, i had afternoon tea and slept.
i slept from 5pm in the afternoon and woke up today at 10am.
that is 17 hours of recovery from the tiredness of helping taking care of little children.
a long day was yesterday, and a rather short day is today..
