All day went fine until the last moment of my day as an intern. Accidents happen, and it was my very first time I did this. How crazy is that?
Hello loves, Today some stuff happened and it hurts. Im currently in bed writing this while listening to white noise with rain and thunder to fall asleep again. I accidentally fell asleep next to my son in his bed.
Anyway, here we go with today at the internship.
The morning ; all went fine. Today I was at my internship at my “normal” time which made me so happy. Came to the internship, greeted everyone and saw two children sit at the small table, playing with play-doh so I joined them. We spoke about shapes, colors, animals, bugs etc. It was really fun! After a little time it was time to set the tables for breakfast so I helped out while the children went and washed their hands.
This morning I tried something I have never tried before and that was (I dont know what it calls on English so I will write on Swedish but (translation like this) after the word) Skinkost (Hamcheese) which is a typical breakfast item in Sweden. It’s soft cheese with pieces of ham in it, inside of a tube (to see picture of what I mean. Click HERE) It was not as horrible as I have always thought but it wasn’t anything for me.
After breakfast, it was activities, so every child got to do what they wanted til it was it was time for lunch. I joined children who sat at the tiny table (they wanted me there) and we made some beads plates and beads jewelry. Super cosy!
oh yeah, the children who got to do what they wanted, got to stay inside (half group) and the other children went outside.
Middle of the day;
Whwn the children who were outside came back inside, my supervisor and I started to set the tables for lunch. Everything went smoothly! Play time after and again, I got called to the tiny table (mind you that while I was sitting there, I also was a “staff” so I went many times to check on the other children) to sit down and do some beads.
I started with a pumpkin. Last week I did that as well but it failed and got dropped so I didn’t bother to fix it again. So today I made a different one. Super cute!
This is the moment when I got a burn mark; While I was ironing the beads plates to melt them together, the iron fell on my arm.
The pain was unbearable. I rushed my arm under ice cold water and now I have a big square burn mark on my arm. How it could become a square one is beyond me, when the iron just hit my arm on one spot (I will show later if I can manage to take a picture where it shows) .
Right now i just removed the bandage of it and it ripped skin off from the burn mark. So now it’s burning again. I think I need to go to the doctor tomorrow and get something. But I do know I must report to my teacher (insurance etc) .
Now it is time for bed and I need to switch side so I dont lay on my arm.
Today’s lesson I will remember (and the burn mark) is that I will never iron bead plates again. It was my first time, and this happened? No, thank you. But I’m glad it happened to me and not to any of the children. So that is the positive view of this situation.
How would you react if this happened to you? Has it happened to you?
