Back to work and the break has given me a new lease on life! I'm much happier at work, the students aren't driving me up the wall as they had done before the christmas holidays. And the students seem to have the same idea, they're more cheerful, throwing themselves into their school work and applying themselves unlike they did before. I'm very ( Read more... )

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable Christmas yesterday. :) I had a lovely time at my parents. My sister and her husband came too. I got to spent time with my 2 year old niece. She's very sweet and getting into everything. She's going to be a handful when she's older! It's a shame they don't live closer, I would love a chance to dote on her like ( Read more... )

I'm very glad that Yuushi-kun had remembered to come and 'rescue' me from my self-imposed torment. It eased the stress for a little while but once he left I still had several papers to finish. Suffice to day I didn't sleep till almost 2am ( Read more... )

I know it's naughty of me, but after work today I stopped by one of my favourite stores and bought myself ice cream and some of their decedent chocolate cheese cake. My plan for the rest of the night is to find a good movie, possibly one I haven't watched yet, and relax. Curl up under my hand knitted blanket, close the curtains and settle down for ( Read more... )
