General update as follows :

 Saturday we went shopping so that i could get a hat for prac. cuz you need one to do duty with. I ended up getting a black cowboy hat which turned out ok. Yay cheap hats!

Sunday Nathan and I got up early and took the train to Nunda where they had an awesome farmers market. We got tons of veggies and stuffs for dirt cheap, including one ginormous head of lettuce for 2$. pretty freakin sweet!

As for today, this was my first day of prac! YAY!We will spend the majority of these two weeks being shuffled around to do different jobs in the school so we can really understand and get a sense of what the school is about. I did get my assignment though, I will be working with a 2/3 split class. Unfortunatly the teacher was sick for the past 3 weeks so she didnt even know i was coming but im sure once she gets settled again everything will be ok. One cool thing about today though was that we all got trained in the Support-a-reader program and assign two kids with need work reading. So for the next two weeks everyday i get to work one on one with 2 different kids (15mins each). Im really excited about this.After that i had lecture so it was a really long day. Then as we were coming down our walkway we saw a Cane Toad! I vaguly remembered reading about it being really venomous (and lets face it everything here is poisonous lol) so i didnt want to go near it but it would hop out of our way. So nathan, being the gentleman that he is, stomped on the ground near it till it hopped into the bush enough that i would walk down the walkway. Turns out (and nathan knew this the entire time hence wy he got so close to it) its only poisionous if you lick it or ingest it. stupid cane toad.  Anyhow didnt make it home till after 10pm tonight and im zonked but ill try and give another update soon!!

Ps Check out the photos of the food from the farmers market and my school! Sorry no frog pics, i just wanted him to go away!
