A week in the life of a Pais worker

Ok, so I thought you people might like a little insight into what I get up to on a weekly basis. I've been so busy lately and I'm pretty sure people have been wondering what exactly I've been doing, or else don't believe me. Some people probably think I'm just dossing about out on a gap year and not actually doing any real work, just because I don't get paid. Also, remember that I've just come out of three years of being a lazy student and aren't used to working full time!
We work every weekday, usually 9am until 5pm. Sometimes we have to start earlier for assemblies so we finish that little bit earlier too. A lot of the day is spent in the office, planning and preparing various lunch clubs, assemblies, fundraisers, mission weeks and so on.
Every other Monday we have an assembly at one primary school, and every other Friday an assembly at a special school. Every other Tuesday is after-school SU (scripture union) at another primary school.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday we have lunch clubs at three of the local secondary schools.
Then we have irregular bookings at other schools. A lot of schools have us in as guests for assemblies and lunch clubs maybe once a month. We've also done RE lessons and special anti-bullying workshops at some schools.
In January we have our mission week, 'Who Loves You?'. This was originally planned for December but we had to postpone it due to schools being busy with exam week. For that week we will be in a different secondary school everyday, doing an assembly, lunch club, giveaway and RE lessons. The week will end with a big event that we invite all of the students too, so a lot of time is currently going into planning this mission week.
I'm fairly busy in the evenings too. On Mondays I have homegroup, Wednesday is the youth drop-in's Bible study, Friday's youth club and Sunday we have youth drop-in. Every couple of Saturdays I volunteer at Exodus' events. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my free evenings where I try to relax and catch up with blogging and other stuff, although I often have various things on those nights too. Starting February I'll also have my Exodus team meetings on a Thursday evening.
I'm sure you get the idea...
Basically the idea of this blog is to let you guys know what I'm up to practically on a day-to-day basis, and also to let you know that if I haven't been in touch a lot then I apologise and this is why!
I'm now home for Christmas and am so excited for the break! A lot of time will be spent catching up with family and friends, but I need to try and relax a bit too so that I'll be refreshed and ready for the new term in the new year.
Thanks for all your continued support! :)
