Induction^^

UNITED KINGDOM | Friday, 12 August 2011 | Views [487]

Hey, hey...New day, new experiences. We had induction today, this means as much as we were told some important things about the camphill. There will be more training during the next weeks and now guess at what days? Always Wednesday and Thursday. Yeah always on my free days-.-

Well today we heard a bit about the fire alarm, really informing(can you recognize my sarcasm??) “Fire will hurt you” who would have guessed xD

Well after that we became some information about confidentiality and what do to if we have the feeling something is just not right and how to handle this problems.

Than we had lunch break and went up again.

I met the new Co-Worker, so now it´s me and three Korean Co-Workers xD

but luckily they´re all speaking English, at least as long as I´m in the room^^

Well I can´t really pronounce his name, so we renamed him, now he is Cookie, love that name =P

Well we had some barbeque at lunch, well not really barbeque because it was pouring and just kept on raining all day. So we made it in the oven, but it still tasted pretty good. It was the first time that I met most of the Co-Workers and Residents, because all houses ate lunch together, which was a really funny and interesting experience. There so many different people here, can´t wait to get to know everybody better.

Well after that the induction training went on. Now one of the managers told us a bit about camphill festivals and I guess they will be really fun =)

The next one I think is the open day, were the castle, not the parts were the residents life, will be open for public and were we, if we can take part there(depends on our schedule) will be informed about the history of the castle. He also told a bit about the workshops, and that we can change them if we would want to, because now guess what I´m going to do, I´ll change them. I got my schedule today and I got everything I didn´t want to do -.-

I got on Monday Basketry( the only thing I like at my schedule) than estate(who the fuck(sorry for this) would let me do garden work, guess I just have to kill all the plants so that they let me change real fast-.-)

Now on Tuesday(now it comes) I got the whole day Bakery, yeah I hate backing, cooking is allright, but backing? Don´t have to say more, my family knows what I mean. Well mom I have to bake cakes and bread. I know your laughing right now-.- I guess after the twentieth burned bread they have to let me leave. On Wednesday in the morning I got estate again-.- Than I´m off and Friday, now it comes, the biggest joke ever, I got woodwork. Why do I just have mans stuff?

Well but I´m going to try everything till fall, and than I´m going to change them, well maybe I´ll like a few, but not quite sure about that. I wanted something like craft or textile or maybe potters, but no I just got the other crap-.-

Sorry for my language, well the other Co-Workers already had a good laugh at me and my “amazing” schedule.

I hope that I maybe can use the textile stuff on my days off, I was told to sew a Kimono :P

Or at least if I could get some paint and stuff out of the craft room, don´t want to just paint with my pastels, want to do some acryl stuff too^^

Well besides that we were told that it´s possible to paint our room, now I´m thinking about what would look nice in our huge room. Some pattern would be pretty cool.

After all this talk we were supposed to have a lesson in Makathon, it´s like sign language, just easier, so that people with learning disabilities can learn it two. It just has the basics, no complicated sentences, so that everybody is able to understand it, too.

But she came to late, because she(another manager) forgot about us. So we were just sitting their and talking and having fun, it was a crazy combination, 5 Koreans and 4 Germans, sitting on a table, teaching each other bad words, talking about our residents and just having fun. We should sit together like that more often^^

At 3 p.m the woman finally came and first she was just like talking and talking and talking, well she told us interesting stuff, but you could have said it shorter. Than finally we had the Makathon.

I loved doing that, it´s really fun to learn^^

Well and I found out that one of the stairs up here is leading right to the roof and we can borrow the key to climb up there, it´s supposed to have a great view up there.

Around 5 p.m we were finally done and I could take my day off. I went up and got my computer and was chatting a bit. Than Lena got me and we went to another Co-Workers room again(the one whos leaving) and danced, again. It´s so funny watching guys dance and walk in heels. I just love hanging around with them because I can´t stop laughing there, it´s always fun =)
