The International Evening at Katho!

Hi everyone!!

How are you doing peeps? Everything okay? I'm good thanks :P...

Yesterday we had our International evening at the Katho :D, i'm really happy that's over.. I was so nervous, we had to go first as well! Pfff... terrible! Glad that was over.. :) but afterall.. it was nice and great to present our super country! Seeing the other students and countries, was very nice as well!

In order our erasmus and Os students presented themselves: Ireland, Italie, The Netherlands, Portugal and Tanzania.

The showdown lasted till 9. o'Clock in the evening. After the evening we'd have a drink and a cheesesnack.

Then there was a folk and dance evening for everyone who was interested. There were dances from the international students and from us too!

I have met Wouter's parents, they were very nice :D.. And big thank you to my mom and dad AND Michaël who came as well.. thanks sweeties :)

So that was a very short review of our International Evening.. of 28 November! When we're back we have to present ourselves again but talk about our experiences.. (but that are worries for tomorrow) :p

For now, that's a big burden that fell of our shoulders... now we have to do a few more things and then it's almost finished!

This is our Powerpoint for you! :D

Hi everyone!

How are you all doing? I'm doing fine.. i'm not yet stressing out or nothing! (well.. As for now, i'm not stressing :P)
The last days we visited a lot of towns, schools and so on..

Last thursday we went to Ghent, Eline and me.. to ask some questions about our ADD project (from Psychology) we didn't had much help.. I phoned and emailed that week about 7 schools! Neither of them answered me back.. except for the ones I called the day before..
I was stressing b/c no-one seemed to care for us.. (sad huh?) One school offered us some help and we went to Ghent.. but unfortunately there was no-one who 'realy' could helped us.. :S *nasty word inserted* they gave some information about other centres where we could go 'nag' I mean.. ask our questions! The one positive of that day was I saw Mic, when we went strolling along in the Veldstraat... (and the strolling was quite nice too)..

The next day we dragged ourselves BACK to Ghent.. but to another school! It was the 'Round of Flanders' about visiting Special Needs schools.. We went to The Oase in Ghent.. (types 1-3 & 8)
I really had some cultureshock there! Pff.. I really got angry from all the things the speaker spoke of.. (from cruel parents to crueler grandparents!) Arrgh....! (didn't find the site though)
In the afternoon we ride along with Annelies to Oudenaarde.. The Horizon was the last one we signed up for.. That was less shocking but a bit more interesting, b/c we got something called 'Braingym' very interesting!

Hmm.. Special needs really isn't my cup of tea I think.. Too emotional hard I think..

The weekend was the better part of this week.. :P I stayed over at Mic's house :D.. Lovely time I had :) Thank you sweety.. (k) And sunday ... was a cold day...

Yesterday we went AGAIN to Ghent b/c we had to go to Destelbergen by bus to go to SIG (http://www.sig-net.be/Default2.aspx) very interesting site + docudienst! At first we were scolded by the librairian that us students take too much for granted and had to email her earlier for meeting up with her.. (I didn't saw that immediatly on the site.. so I emailed them Saturday and called her back on mondaymorning..) After that little shock.. we got our permission to search things about Hearingdissabilities, b/c that's our subject for our Dutch assignement.. Than that same day, we had to be in Tielt by 11.30, we nearly missed the bus! Luckely we both are Marathonrunners.. :O and got on time on the train.. (we had a little international meeting at noon)
Then we finally were free to go.. :P from 8.30u on the road.. quite good eh?

Today I really had a bad day... it really sucked actually.. One of the students has been ran over by a car (a big camionette) and has a severe concaussion (is it spelled that way?).. Really sad.. and it happend on the same road as we go on and pro each day.. SUCK!
Today I also heard about 2 PDT students who quitted there training at Katho.. That's really sad too.. w'ell miss them as wel...
The meeting that I had to do and be the 'Head' off.. didn't started to good as well.. don't know what actually went wrong.. maybe a bit chaotic or I wasn't in a too good mood? Or a combination of both probably.. (The previous hour I didn't got what I wanted.. so I was a bit cranky) It was a bit hard.. but the rest of the meeting went better and everyone started listening as well..

What's next on program this week?

- Wednesday: Bachelor Project day TOMORROW! Sitting together en working on the text of our subject.
- Thursday: Buso day.. again a day spend in a Special Needs school.. this time being the 'MPI Heilig Hart' in Sint Maartens Leerne. (a bit closer to home)
- Friday: In the morning; a meeting AGAIN! *sigh*... and then Eline and I are of to Lokeren.. (a school of ADD) where they -so-help-me-God- can help us..
--> I officially as of now.. HATE CALLING to SCHOOLS.. 'can't someone else do it?' NOT ME NEVER AGAIN.. JAMAIS,NADA, NOWAY! People are soo rude some times.. :'(

Thé DAY that i'm looking out to is..: (drum roffles)
- Saturday: Going out with Mic and friends.. Bowling.. showing some moves with big balls! Yay.. finally leaving this nervewrecking week behind..

Now.. enough of my rants!
But I like to add some more little rants to this BIG rant up above :P

- Next week is our International evening! Be there or be a cube :P (sorry little inside joke.. I blame for thee Homer!) We still are preparing our Powerpointpresentations.. so it will be VERY interesting! And.. off course.. the first country to start is?? ... IRELAND.. d'oh.
- Next week we also have to do a gazillion THINGS.. I really really want to swear now.. But I want to have a neat blog for once.. so you can imagine the ugliest, shocking swear right about NOW.. I'm imagining it too :P
- I uploaded The Irelandblog as well.. You know the adress! See you there ;)

Now.. I'm finally gonna... stop.. for.... now.... My ....fingers... are .. hurting..
Bye everyone ;)
Hope your weeks are also this 'nice' and active!

Love...

Song of the month.. *November*

Hi peeps :D

Back again.. with the song of November!! And this time I have chosen the song by the Righteous Brothers. "Unchained Melody".. Rings any 'Ghost' bells? :P.. You know.. with Patrick Swazy and Demi 'BAH' Moore.. (prefered it to be mee :P) doing that clay thingy :P
This song is one of the most beautiful love songs EVER! (next to Gene Pitney's *Somethings gotten hold on my heart*.. In the occasion of my 4 month anniversary I present you this well known love song :)

Unchained Melody:

Oh my love, my darling

I've hungered for your touch

A long lonely time,

And time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much,

Are you still mine?

I need your love,

I need your love

God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea,

to the sea,

To the open arms of the sea, yeah!

Lonely rivers sigh

"wait for me, wait for me"

I'll be coming home,

Wait for me.

Chorus:

Oh my love, my darling

I've hungered,

Hungered for your touch

A long lonely time,

And time goes by so slowly

And time can do so much,

Are you still mine?

I need your love,

I...I need your love

God speed your love to me

~~~~~~~

Lots of love..

Practice Next WEEK!

Hi peeps!

How is everyone doing? :)
I'm stressed yet again.. *rolls eyes*
Next week it's practice again. But this time i'll be for the first time in a first grade (the 1e leerjaar) It'l be something different for sure.. Pfff.. I'm a bit freaking out.. Hoping for the best off course hé :)
Luckely the children still know me a bit! But there are some troublemakers in the class (at that age? What went where wrong?).
Excited, anxious, stressy.. all in one!
Wish me succes peeps :)

What have I done in the Autumn break?
- Working for school
- Working for practice (aka school AGAIN)
- gone to the Boekenbeurs with Mic.. and it was good! (I've bought the book with ALL answers!)
More news to share?
- Today Mic and Me are celebrating our 4 month anniversary!!!! Cool huh?? Still loving you, Michael (k)
-Today also was my last workingday at the GB.. it's finished, done, over.. and that's such a pity... I really loved my work in the GB.. (keer tevreden terug?! Tzal wel zijn.. verliefd geworden op den beste klant) I've been there 3 years! Quite long, never cut my fingers, loved the work, loved the people there.. i'm really gonna miss it.. The GB is now working under a new management. (Pol and Wim decided they'd quit the running of their supermarket) and because there's a new Boss in tha house, he decided to turn the hours of opening. So that means he will be closing on Sunday.. and he doesn't like jobstudents, so.. yep.. no hope for me as of yet. He also decided to put all the meat in prepacted bags.. so, the people just have to take the meat and that's it. What will become of the permanent staff of the 'afdeling charcuterie and fresh Meat?!) We'll see on wednesday. The shop's closed now, 2 days for redecorating and so on.. so, i'll be going to the GB on wednesday! :D
- I'm gonna go now.. still a bit work to do (just for tomorrow hé!) pffff...
- My next song of the month will soon be posted! :)
- I'm starting off with a new post of the month.... and this will be called. The video of the Month! (quite original huh?!) :P

Bye!!! :)
