Long time

So I've been really busy the past few months.

VFASP is going pretty well. New kids that came consistently, and new rules and structure. It has helped. Last week I finally completed one of the seven goals I set for myself at Mid-Service Training: I compiled two binders for VFASP, one of daily maintenance things like attendance and one of resources and such.

I'm working more now with the Special Needs teachers at VF Infant and Primary, figuring out how to help them do their jobs as efficiently as possible. Sometimes it's a challenge, especially working with people that have extremely different expectations of a Special Needs teacher's role.

Catherding is going pretty well. The kindergarten students started typing their names. I really need to type up all the lessons for that computer skills for non-readers. That will be one more thing to cross of my list of MST goals.

On top of regular work, I have started getting my act together to look for jobs. Writing resumes, completing applications online, contacting references, etc. One week I did that almost non-stop at home. It was exhausting.

In addition to work and future work, I've been planning for Berney's parents to visit. They will be staying with me, so I've been cleaning plenty, and both Bern and I have been making and remaking plans to ensure they get a good taste of St. Lucia.

I have a lot of pictures, but Berney has stolen all of them. So I'll post them when I get a chance.
