Ive been teaching for a whole week now.  Im knackered! but ive settled in. have a house mate. have a house. soon to have wireless so my laptop will need fixing, but its not something that has to be rushed because the school gave me a laptop for use (strictly speaking for school use only). but its there. I'm absolutley overwhelmed and love it!
