Ah the long weekend that passed. I felt reluctant about getting up this morning. I got into work and had morning yard duty straight up. It was cold. I missed getting my new timetable and thinking I had a free as per my old timetable missed a class altogether. The students obviously kept themselves to […]

I haven’t studied at Uni since the 90s. I just logged into the CSU site and that overwhelmed feeling is coming back to me. I’m not sure I really want to do this. Feels like I’m just about to go into labour with my second child and I’m remembering what it’s about and kicking myself. […]

Tomorrow I am going to a Cyberbullying course. We had a speaker talk to our year 7s and 10s yesterday and there was not much he spoke of that I wasn’t aware of. I have been attending these kinds of talks for a few years now. I want to keep up to date to keep […]

I am going to the senior campus of our school next year. I have known about it for a little while now and have been thinking about it. I am nervous for sure. I have reassured countless year 9s over the years about going to the ‘big’ school. This year I can actually share their […]

I had a browse through my wordpress stats the other day. I was surprised to find the most common search terms people used to find my blog were ‘pomegranate’ and ‘mosaic’. I used to be constantly looking at my stats. I had a couple of different places to go to measure and weigh up what […]
