I am the trash friend, that doesn't get invited places, and with good reason.
For the last seven nine weeks I've been on placement in a primary school. Between that, my part time job, and worries about what I'm going to do for money once my study allowance ends (need to apply for unemployment until I can get full time hours at my job) my brain has basically been a nightmarescape of deadlines, assessments, and stress. Oh, and I poured water over my laptop, so I'm using a far smaller, far less powerful machine for the time being.
I have been trash.
I'm done with placement now, though they've asked me to come back on a volunteer basis. What this means is that I'm still likely to be BUSY, but not the insane, stand in the corner and cry the exhausted tears of the exhausted busy that I have been.
I'm looking to get Chiara and Eleri back in the swing of things as quickly and thoroughly as possible. -James
