A new term at work September 12, 2009

This week I actually started doing the work I was employed to do – the buses! On Monday nights I’m leading the team on our single decker bus that acts as a mobile youth club. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I’m on our little minibus which goes round different areas to advise and inform young people on different issues. I continue to run the day programme on Wednesdays for young people at risk. I’m busier than ever and now learning how cold it can get in the evenings. Tuesday was fine, lovely and warm, by the end of Wednesday I was in my hoodie and coat! Not good considering this is only September. So I’ve bought some handwarmers and a microwaveable food flask which will be filled with soup every night! I’m also going to make sure I layer up, and I’m sure my thermals will come in useful later in the term! It will also be nice to have the challenge of leading unstructured youth work – part of the reason I took the job in the first place!
