I had a pretty okay day today. It was chill for the most part, although I still didn't feel very good because of my period. I think that it's making my head really foggy, and in general it's making me very tired and spacey and it's making it hard to focus. I did have a productive though. At least I think I did. » Continue Reading
I wish I could role play with someone... I've only ever role played once and it was years ago, but my kinnie heart is aching 🥺 I wanna act like my favourite characters sometimes... The other day I entered a vocaloid focused discord server and there was a person with a nagito pfp and I was really nervous and excited about that... I wish I were brave enough to message them about danganronpa » Continue Reading
Today I was supposed to do a lesson with 12th graders, where I would show them some basics of photoshop. However, what I forgot about, is that I tend to get incredibly insecure when I'm talking with other people. I get this feeling that I am wasting their time. In this case this was unnecessary because I had been asked by that teacher to do this. However, that did not stop me from getting more and... » Continue Reading
Today was the first day where I'd be leading a lesson instead of just helping the teacher. It went surprisingly well, although tbf I do tend to get a bit too nervous about everything... Some students were not as engaged as others, but overall I think we had a few lovely outcomes from the class! I was really happy to see that. One of the girls' eyes lit up when I was explaining something to her, it... » Continue Reading

Today was the last day of my second week of placement. I feel like I have already learnt a lot, and I'm hopeful about my plans for the next couple weeks. A small thing happened today which made me realise why teachers are so strict and forward when it comes to making students quieten down. It's very easy to lose control of a situation, so it is better to be as quick and efficient as possible. I'm ... » Continue Reading
Today the lessons I was in were very chill because it was a year 13 and year 12 class. I had time to do some prep work for a lesson plan I have to create, however tonight I kinda ruined all the work I had done because I decided to add more stuff to it with paint. The thing is, I'm not good with paint, so I don't really know how to work with it... So tomorrow I'll have to make more examples. I real... » Continue Reading
Today was fine. The teaching work placement went well, I'm glad I didn't regress to being really shy. I was worried about that since I hadn't gone to the school since Thursday. I helped out a bit like last week, but I this time I also discussed more in-depth the kinds of lessons I could also plan and teach. It's a very daunting idea, but something I will have to overcome if I'm interested in this ... » Continue Reading
I have finished the first week of work placement as an art teacher. I of course didn't do any actual teaching, but I have gotten more comfortable in the school environment and in the role of a teacher. I gave a bit of advice, helped out a lot as a teacher assistant, and asked a few students to stop talking and continue their work. This morning I was feeling quite anxious about how the day would go... » Continue Reading
Work placement went alright today, I gave feedback to 4 students, and 3 out of 4 went well. But the one that didn't go well is on my mind the most... The class I was helping with was drawing masks based on African masks and patterns, and a girl asked me what colour she should paint the nose. Her mask had a lot of yellow, reds, and bits of green, blue, and purple. I completely blanked out and didn'... » Continue Reading
I am positively exhausted. I guess I knew how tiring it would be, but it's different in theory than in practice. Art classes in UK schools are so structured and advanced in comparison to the ones I'm used to in Greek schools. Although granted, I did not even have art classes for three years, from 8th to 10th grade. The school I am doing my placement at has grades 7 to 13, and I honestly feel like ... » Continue Reading
I made an account here 10 days ago, but I hadn't really opened the site since then. But it's very retro and cute, I would like to use it more often. Maybe I'll post my weirdcore and traumacore edits here » Continue Reading
