Tuesdays that feel like Mondays

March 9th, 2010 · No Comments

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 […]

Braces

March 3rd, 2010 · No Comments

Tom is home frequently to get his braces attended to. I didn’t want him to get braces, but now I am glad because they mean I see my son more than I would have. He’s been promoted since the last trip to a ‘workplace trainer’, which means he’ll be doing some extra study at his […]

This full moon finds me feeling quite hopeful and positive. Going back to work wasn’t as stressful as I’d anticipated. I feel calm about it. There is plenty to learn and I like that. I enjoy not knowing, it keeps me interested:-) I’ve been warmly welcomed by the staff […]

Last Teaching Day at Junior Campus

December 9th, 2009 · No Comments

The year 9s finished today and it went well enough. I start tomorrow working with the admin team at the new campus so I won’t be farewelling the rest of the school. It happened so quickly in the end. As it usually does in a big rush where only the important and urgent things got done. […]

Next Year

November 21st, 2009 · 3 Comments

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 […]

Struggle

November 11th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve been sick for a couple of days. Friday night I had a heavy chest and it had degenerated until Sunday night I was out of breath. It’s been hot and I love the warm weather. I have not been impressed with being sick at all. I went back to work today. It was busy. […]

I napped

October 7th, 2009 · No Comments

Tonight I came home from school a bit earlier than usual. All day I had been listing the things I would be able to do with the extra time in the afternoon, gifted by a rare ‘no meeting’ night. I loathe meetings after school. I am always tired and feel that very little is achieved. […]

Welcome Spring

September 2nd, 2009 · 2 Comments

Today on yard duty the girls were complaining about their heavy winter uniforms as the sun was out and the air was warm again. I realised it was spring, only a day late. Tonight I noticed my purple tulips had flowered and I appreciated the gift for the third year.  
Below is a picture of the […]

Dark Much?

May 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Tonight we walked down to the shops to get stuff to make risotto (which was v.v.yummy by the way). On our way back through the park, I noticed how dark it was. It was only 5ish. We’d finished dinner and were watching a film by 7pm. It was totally dark and felt like 9! In […]
