Been a couple of days, I don't know how many and can't spend the time going back to look. I am sure all the people who read this are very aware. I can see by the number of views, this has become very popular. No views in three years. Might be my fault, I haven't posted in three years. But, it never was about the views. I think the only one who ever actually read these was my father and he has been gone for a long time now.
Maeghan might start reading them. I am sure if she has, she will comment about it. Or, it could be a secret. She might just be spying on me. That's what kids do when they reach the eleventh grade.
Oh, did I mention she has registered for the eleventh grade. We did that last Thursday. Was a grand ceremony. Lots of people and lots of confusion. We got there at about 4:15 or maybe 4:30. There was a small crowd and you had to fill out an 11 page form. Now that I think about it, maybe it was 11 pages because she is going to the eleventh grade. Coincidence? I think not.
It was a lot of stuff that they should have already had. You can get it from the school and she has already filled out a lot of forms but I suppose each school is different so they make you fill out the same information each time. Probably have to fill out a twelve page form for next year.
It took a while to fill out, which turned out to be a good thing. There was the initial rush of people who filled it out and the line got to be about 20 or 30 people but by the time we had ours filled out, there were only 4 or 5 people in line. Of course, about that time, a whole lot of other people started arriving but we didn't have to worry about them.
When we got in, they had a folder for Maeghan. It had nothing in it but it was a folder with her name on it so I suppose it was official. They were glad they had it because it meant they knew she was coming. It was kind of confusing about where we should go but when Maeghan mentioned she was in VET class, they took us to the VET people. There were a lot of other groups but as we did not get to talk to them, I have no idea what they were for.
The VET guy asked Maeghan what she wanted to do. Maeghan being Maeghan, she said she did not know. We had talked about it before we got there and she had looked up all the classes she wanted to take the night before but she said she didn't know. I prompted her and the VET guy kept asking so I think she finally got across what she wanted to do. He was trying to tell her to do something else but in the end, he agreed with her on what she should be doing. He was saying that she should continue with her VET training but Maeghan had figured out that she wanted to do child care work first. Once we got that straightened out, he recommended the same classes that Maeghan had already picked out. So I think she is taking a child care class, a math class, a drama class and something else I can't remember. She is sitting about four feet from me so I could ask, but why bother. No one reading this will ever know the difference.
After that, it was just a matter of making sure her forms were filled out correctly. They didn't actually check them, they only took our id's but the lady said she was happy with the forms. Guess that means Maeghan is registered. They said she will get confirmation sometime in December and start classes the following year. The guy did say the child care classes were hard and she had to go twice a week but since I have no idea what would be normal I am guessing it shouldn't be a problem.
The whole system is a bit confusing to me. They have to do so many hours and complete so many credits in different subjects, I don't know what they have to take and what is an extra. There are three main things, something called ICT, an English credit and a Math credit. Her drama class gets her the English credit so I don't know if that means she has to take it next year or not. Guess I will just have to wait and find out.
Let's see, is there anything amazing I can say about William. He seems to be doing ok in school or at least I have not heard anything bad. Not sure if that is good or bad but none of the teachers have tried to talk to me so I assume it is all good.
The kids stayed most of the weekend with me and they are here now. Juanita had other things to do. We won't go there. They are supposed to be here again tomorrow but I don't know if that will happen yet. I might have to go to Devonport for a job interview on Wednesday. A whole of driving and a whole lot of money for a job I am not qualified for but maybe I can lie my way in. I am positive I am better than any of the local yokels they are bound to get but it is just a matter of getting my foot in the door someplace. I have another interview here in Hobart on Thursday but that is just with a recruiter, not an actual job. Maybe I can get in somewhere. I need to do that soon as I am rapidly running out of money. Trying to make it until December when the government will supply me with some income but a job would be better if I can get it. I don't think I will make it until then.
I'm going to be going now. Starting to get a headache. I have been getting a lot of headaches lately and stomach aches and just a lot of being sick. I am putting it off as stress but maybe not. We might never know. But,
Until next time
