Friday we had our end of dos P leaving ceremony and meal. It was quite hard to talk to the parents regarding the class from HELL. I guess it´s like giving a reference, you just sort of say yes they were there haha. No job offers this time but still a nice ceremony. We moved into our new rooms (which now has music and a food cupboard - TOMA) and went to the meal which was Lamb again and really fit fruity salads. The cook ensured we all got wasted again on white, red wine and cava and we were all playing the Coin game where if you get a coin in your drink you have to finish it etc.

We went to chutrex again, no dancing on the bar this time and Jack brothered me into going home because I´d "had too much" and so we got back and crashed and Dearbhla ended up getting with an afro donning monitor, Heather and Paul requested privacy and Liam appeared to be naked outside wrapped in a sheet. It was jokes. I cant remember most of it but the photos tell a hilare tale. I no longer have a camera charger (?) and the camera is broken still anyway, Dayum.

The next day was the saddest day here. We got woken up to say our goodbyes to 4 out of the 6 girls from our room who we were really close too after living literally on top of each other for a month. The family broke up. Tears were everywhere. We had 3 stages of goodbyes so the sadness was dragged out over the day, morning, afternoon and evening. I think it made me realise how much I miss other people in general as well and cabin fever kicked back in. I feel sorry for the people who are staying here for 10 weeks as it´s really not that big and options are pretty limited during periods of free time.

The new director and teachers arrived and we all got introduced and met all the monitors again last night, there´s only about half as much as the other two terms so there should be a lot more integration hopefully and we´ll be more involved with the partys and should become a bit closer to the children. Really wanted to be at devotion last night with Alison and Sam!

Today we greeted all the kids (standing outside the blocks for 3.5 hours while they arrive) all smiles and uniform eyeing the BMWs and diamond watches and have just been for lunch, before we invigilate the placement exams again. Gotta do the cheesey running in introduction too hahaha. This term my olympic team is Eagles and my monitor is Carolina who seems nice. She already knows I live with jack even though he´s no longer here, so it just shows how small this camp is.

Finished angels and demons the other day so am now reading the lollipop shoes which is coool. Found out today that we are 1000ft up in the mountains which is pretty cool.

The new D.O.S seems nice but more thorough than the previous one so i have a feeling the lessons will need to be planned more vigilantly but I guess that will make them run better in class, it´s good to have a comparison anyway.
