Home for Easter

I'm back now in Hamworthy after spending a week in Moorlands to start writing up everything that I'd done on Block Placement. It was good to be at college last week and see all of my friends from other years and the people in my year who came back to write up what they'd done on Block.

On the Saturday when I arrived back it was Open Day at College and many of my friends came to look around. It was a really lovely day with tasty lasagne and sticky toffee pudding for lunch, in the afternoon they had a chance to have a go at archery or have a walking tour around Christchurch.

Sunday was a chance for me to catch up with friends from Burton Community Church and Church for the Nations in Winton. It was Mothering Sunday and I ended up with some Tulips and a potted Primula - this was the firt time I'd ever recieved a present on Mother's Day, it made me feel old!

The week was pretty uneventful, I worked hard on the write up of Block Placement and got almost 1/3 of the way through.

Friday morning started with a college continental breakfast that was amazing - tonnes of fruit and pastries. After room inspections, we had Chapel and we all took communion together. At the end Colin Bennett (our Vice Principal) said that to ilustrate a point that he'd made in his sermon, three members of staff were going to be blindfolded and led on a mystery tour. He blindfolded up Steve Brady (our Principal) and Alistair and Dotha and then Steve was led outside on a mystery tour. The other staff members then took off their blindfolds and we were all told that Steve's son had arranged for Steve to go on a helicopter flight for his birthday. We all then followed him outside andsaw his amazement when he realised what was happening. After a false start (he needed the loo!) he was soon rising above the college complete with camera in hand and we all waved to him as he left.

I came home friday afternoon and was straight to work at BHS on Saturday where I met all my collegues again and then soon remembered how to use the tills.
