I am really rather amazed how quickly this week has gone. The dread (of having to go back to school) started on Friday and has stayed with me since. I can only hope this second half of term goes as quickly as the first. Not that I'm wishing my life away or anything...heehee, maybe just my teaching life.
Things I should have done but haven't:
Things I shouldn't have done but have:
Well, my Head of Department did tell me to take a break from school work.
Happy half-term all those people who have this week off - I'm so jealous! Enjoy your week too to everyone else working away as normal! And wish me luck.
Ooooh, B said that Heroes starts this week on Sci-Fi, woohoo!
And finally, check out "How Not To Teach". See Mouche and Angie, I could be promoting your blogs if you ever updated them!
PS Gimmealift.com has actually had some quite positive feedback - shout out to Potter for her good ideas; congrats on the job and you know that one day we'll do it!
PPS Woohoo, come on you Spurs! Mwhahaha, Fulham, no more FA Cup for you!
Things I should have done but haven't:
- Written my WA3 (comparing and contrasting SEN and EAL strategies)
- Created my unit of work on multicultural maths
- Done some planning
- Marked my Y11 coursework
- Sorted out my teaching file
- Played around with ActivStudio so that my IWB was more interactive as opposed to just a glorified wall to write on
- Thought about some internships
- Played in two football matches for my team (rather than lying hungover and tired somewhere in London)
- Recovered from the "plague"
- Got some rest
Things I shouldn't have done but have:
- Eaten and drunk enough to neutralise any effect from the gym
- Spent about half a month's salary
- Completely changed my sleeping pattern so that I am now almost nocturnal
- Allowed the "plague" to permeate (the kids will sense my weakness)
- Brainstormed (ok...fine...daydreamed) for about a day in total
- Baked cakes and then devoured them
- Danced like a fool (my calves just ache)
- Laughed a lot ("nesting" anyone?)
- Tried (and mosly failed) to matchmake anyone and everyone under the sun (watch this space though, I think there may be some success sooooooooon...)
- Attempted to catch up on my reading by trying to read all five books that I'm midway through at once (this was silly...how many times have I been told to focus on one goal at a time?)
- Somehow contracted amnesia thus sadly forgetting many many comedy events in my life
