On monday, I had Mandatory training from 8.30am till 3.30pm. Then, my 2nd subject for summer school , Language & Literacy, started from 4pm till 8pm! fyuuhh.. almost 12 hours in uni! perghh... what a day!
Mandatory training is basically when we identify/ suspect that a child under our care is being abused- either physically, sexually or mentally abuse. I could relate this training with my experiences conducting the 'PS the Children' survey around Malaysia not long ago. Its basically the same thing all together, except this time it deals with young children instead of teenagers.
As for my 2nd summer course..I just LOVED IT! The lecturer, Gill Newman, was fantastic! Seriously, when I had to take up this course, I dragged it, thinking it will be all "boring & nothing interesting"..Boy I was WRONG! She explains well, relating her experiences in regards to children's literacy (she is after all a full time teacher, and a part time lecturer).. she entertained us with her jokes, and most importantly, I felt SO motivated to encourage children to read! Ain't it great~ I wish Dzhofier, or Sarah, or Sophie was in front of me, so that I can take them to the bookstore right at this moment! hehe..
So that was it..8am- 8pm in uni..woohoo~

On tuesday, I decided to bring Emma Singapore (Now I have 2 Emmas..my housemate, and my coursemate..!) to CM, since she has never been there before. We should have left earlier, and I ended up rushing for my class for that day. Just for that day, my class will start at 2pm instead, so thats 6 hours straight of classwork! Gill brought in some books from her school library, and I enjoyed the books! My fav would be about the "Wait! No Paint!" book & "The Mole who know its none of his business" book.. just simply Loved it! Will definately buy these books for future keepstake.
Hence..I had a 2 very very looonng days.. *siggh *
