went into Wgtn today with Jen and we met up with Mum for lunch. it was cool. i went looking for DVDs later and didn’t buy anything. it was a good way to kill time though. met up with Jo later and we went to BK, then we saw ‘Get Smart’. it’s pretty funny.

caught the train home, and luckily, Jen caught the same train, so i was able to grab a lift with her from the station and didn’t have to walk home in the rain

today was a pretty cruisy day. played Diablo II all morning (and by morning, i mean until lunchtime…by which i mean 3:00) and watched DVD special features all afternoon/evening.

that’s something that i’ve been meaning to do for a while. i’ve had a stack of DVDs on my desk in my ‘to watch’ pile, so today, i did. now i can add them to the rack where they belong

had my Praxis cluster groups in Wgtn this morning. they went alright. came home and watched Terminator 3 on DVD. then, i finally got around to starting one of my assignments! after about 2hrs, i had written 600 words or so. and that’s just for the first question! three questions to go for this assignment.

the other assignments should be easy enough to write up. they’ll take time while i compile my notes and thoughts, but the questions are pretty straightforward.

played Deus Ex all night.

went to church this morning. it was a baptism service. Katie and Troy from Team X, were amongst those who were baptised. it was cool. the Palmy team came down for it and there was a big shared lunch afterwards where i got to hang out and chat with a bunch of people

came home and spent all afternoon mucking round on my computer. started to clean my room, but stopped after picking up about two things off my floor. i’ll get there eventually…

watchd TV al night. NCIS is back on yay! i’m glad it’s on a night that i can be home and watch it.

ran our Choices programme at Adventure today. it was cool. i have finally finished performing the WWHR drama and now i can rest. next week is Peer Pressure, which is more emotionally draining than physically, so i will be tired again!

had a meeting with Bruce Billington when i got back to the office. talked to him and got some info for one of my Praxis assignments. sweet deal. now all i have to do is assess Team X as a faith community, define some words and then compare Team X, CFUH and El Rancho and i will have finished an assignment! it seems like a lot of work, so i might not do it this weekend.

came home and went to bed. i should get more sleep at night, so that i don’t have to sleep in the afternoon. got out of bed to go to One Eighty. it’s a youth night that is organised by King’s Church where my parents and a lot of Adventure students go, so they were all inviting me today. it was pretty cool. just a lot of running around and playing games. but i got to hang out with a dozen or so Adventure kids, which was fun. it’s cool hanging out with the kids we work with outside of the Team X context.

now i will go to bed for real.

Team X today was cool. i’ve now done six of the eight WWHR dramas that i am doing this week. me and Troy did them today. they were fun. we’re doing them tomorrow as well. it has been interesting talking about choices to the kids this week, because there’s a few choices in my life that i should probably be making, but i’m not. they’re all to do with study, flatting and girls. not necessarily in that order. not really in any order. more just in a mess of chaos.

finally got around to putting up our Team X team photos on the website. yay!

played Civ III today. i was having fun, but then fighting my enemies became too much of a chore, so i gave up.

uploaded some Team X team pics to Facebook. i need to put them on the Team X website at some stage. hopefully by Tuesday.

drove up to El Rancho this afternoon. joined the Midgets (6-8 year olds) camp for the evening. it was pretty cool. got to watch some clowns and listen to a bedtime story. the main reason i went up was so that i could talk to Bex about what it’s like living in the El Rancho community and ask her some questions for one of my Praxis assignments. we eventually got time to sit down and chat once all the kids were in bed. then i drove home.

i’ve almost done all the extra work i need to do for my Praxis assignments. once i’ve talked to one more person, the rest is up to me and my epic writing skills…i’m actually quite pleased that i haven’t left talking with people to the last minute. i’m feeling pretty onto it right now

taught at Adventure School today. it was cool. hopefully the positive feedback that we’re getting from the school spreads to other schools in the Porirua area and we can get into more schools that way…

i went into Wgtn afterwards and met up with Tamsen. we ran through the WWHR drama which we’re doing in class next week. it should be pretty fun. watched Aeon Flux and ate Mint Slices afterwards. what a great way to end a week

came home and watched TV all night and now i am very tired, so i shall go to bed and sleep a lot.

taught our remaining three Maidstone classes today. they went awesomely. watched some of the kids play volleyball at lunchtime. i’m pretty sure that i was no good at volleyball when i was their age. it’s interesting watching a game that involves either no one trying to hit the ball, or about four people trying to hit it at the same time. but they do try so hard

came bcak to the office and started assessing, then ran through the Line of Choice presentation with Rose and Lané and started tearing it apart. gutted it pretty well and took out a lot of stuff that we don’t actually need. it’s looking more like a Team X presentation now. i still need to come up with a ‘Choices’ programme, and will probably use chunks of what is left of the Line of Choice presentation.

played CivIII tonight. got a good game started and had to force myself to stop playing. haha…just like old times.

went into Wgtn for Praxis this morning. the first cluster group was pretty standard, and the second one was at a café. bonus. went into Lower Hutt afterwards and talked to Leanne about some info for one of my Praxis assignments. i can now say that i have actually started my assignments haha.

came home and watched Night at The Museum on DVD. it’s a good fun movie.

spent the night YouTubing.
