I just finished my first week of ty, I really enjoyed it. On Wednesday we had an introduction day where we were told what the year was going to intail and met some of our teachers who I haven't had before we also did some games to get some friendly competition going it's was fun. On Thursday we had classes as normal,it's a change from third year as we are now in the higher end of the school and are more responsible. In our sports leadership class we had to teach each other skills and demonstrate how to do the skill aswell. I had my first day of work experience today aswell it was actually not bad at all I know everyone I work with so it feels nice to know you are looked after if you don't know how to do something.

Michelle and I are in charge of filming and editing the introduction video for the oncoming first years. This is a big responsibility for us, we have had to learn how to use the computer and edit the right way. Editing seems quite complex but in reality once you get the hang of it it's simple.  I feel like I am more comfortable when being left to do something that I know nothing about because I know that I can figure it out for myself.

Every day it seems like there is a new story to tell. During the day sometimes it's quite and sometimes it's extremely busy there really isn't an inbetween but I can't say I don't love working there because I do. It's funny to see how friendly, sarcastic, anxious, rude and just annoying different costumers are when they come in for there bits weather it be tablets, hygiene products, makeup or Purfume every person is different.
I have learned so much working there and I have memorized where every over the counter drug is so I can be as quick and efficient as possible. I've also become more chatty I am now able to hold a conversation with a costumer which I am proud of. I've learned all about tablets and quantities and I also know all about the computer system because I use it every Friday.
I'm extremely happy with the people I work with because they trust me and look out for me and are all wonderful people. I'll be sad to leave.but on the Plus side Tara (my manager) said that if I wanted I could get a job there on a Sunday coming up to Christmas.

Two weeks ago I went on a barista course with my cousin, from ten in the morning till four in the evening , we learn the background of the two main types of coffee. Then we go to use the machine, he had a very high end touchscreen coffee machine that measured out an espresso or a double espresso for you easily. We then got turns to make our own Coffee's after learning how to use the machine he all had around four fails until we got it's right so we all had alot of coffee to drink that day.In the test at the end of the day I got 80% so I'm very pleased with that but the only downside is that my cousin got give percent higher than me he will hold that over me for ages now.
