Ulog No. 29: "Sunday Bustle"

Sunday, 23rd July

Sleeping in was not an option today. There were still two tables in our classroom that I still needed to set up. Usually, the ELC (Early Learning Centre) Director and I work together in program planning and setting up activities, but she had to go to Adelaide ahead of me for our mid-year Professional Development workshop/seminar that the school leadership requires all the teachers to attend every year. So, I was left to do the task and I don't mind doing it even though it's beyond my paid hours.

So, my Director delegated the task to me to set up all the activities for the first week of Term 3. Yay! I can't believe that two terms have already been completed, and we're halfway through the school year.

Also, there's church in the morning, so I really had to get up early in the morning. I finished packing my suitcase as I would be flying in at 5:30 PM to Adelaide. Then, I quickly got ready to go to church. I didn't stay for morning tea after the church service because I needed to go to school to do my work before going to my mother-in-law's house for Sunday lunch.

At last, the tables were all set up ready for Monday. Some of the activities that I finished are the following:

Literacy Table

Numeracy Table

Fine Motor Skills & Numeracy Activity

Dramatic Play Area

After lunch at Mum's, John and I went home, got my suitcase, made sure that I brought everything, and drove to the airport. I arrived at the airport at exactly 5 o'clock. The Qantas lady was not very impressed that I got there half an hour before the boarding time and told me that I should have been there at least 45 minutes before departure. We apologised, of course, and John apologised to me for the delay. I wanted to get to the airport at 4:45 but he said that was too early. At least, now he knows why.

John and I said goodbye and gave each other a lingering hug. He could have come with me to Adelaide and we'd travel by car, however, my Director had already booked our accommodation thru AirBnb, which is paid for by the school. So I had no choice but book a flight.

Well, I'm glad I booked my flight with Qantas because I got frequent flyer points from that. Also, there was a complimentary snack even though it was only a 40-minute flight. What I don't like about flying locally is that it is too loud on the plane and I could easily feel the turbulence up in the air. Also, the plane is, of course, smaller, hence I feel a little bit claustrophobic, too.

Needless to say, the flight was terrible. It was too windy, and there was much turbulence. It felt like driving on a bumpy road, or four-wheel driving on rocky hills or mountains. But thanks be to God, He kept us all safe throughout the flight until we landed at the airport right on time. There was no hassle. I picked my suitcase up and then headed outside to get a taxi.

Then I arrived at the accommodation and I was just in awe of the place. Everything inside was beautiful! It doesn't look quite fancy on the outside but as I walked in, I just couldn't help but be amazed at every detail in each room.

I loved my room. I thought to myself, "I will definitely have a good night's sleep, even though I'm not sleeping in my own bed."

Living Room

Dining Room

Kitchen

Bedroom

I love this bed!!!
