I am thoroughly enjoying myself this week. School is cool. I'm ahead of my planning, and doing my best to keep on top of my to-do list, so things are mostly working out. Plus, NO MARKING, yay! I really think it's the naps and knowing that I will have a few hours each evening to do what I want in, it really makes a difference.
As I mentioned yesterday, I'll be in school tomorrow, but I'll be striking in spirit. I think I am becoming progressively more left wing. Back in the day I used to think striking was an absolute scandal and a disgrace, and thought that trade unions should have been banned. But now I see why they are really important, and fully support the NUT's actions tomorrow.
Further, I was browsing the London Mayor Election booklet, and found that the most appealing candidate to me was Lindsey German of the Left List. This was based purely on campaign policies, but then having done a little bit of research on the Left List, I have realised that I have been secretly socialist all along (at least, on most aspects) and just never acknowledged it. How odd. I wonder if this will last, or whether I will stray back to the centre once I leave school?
I am reading Monkfish Moon and it is making me crave Sri Lanka. I want to finish it tonight so I can go back to The Inheritance of Loss and get really into it. I feel like this week is still a bit like a holiday, so I better enjoy it while it lasts. Even if I do have to work tomorrow.
