Today I had to say goodbye to my lovely tutor group, 11 NL, and I am still in tears now over an hour later! (what a loser!) I'm really going to miss them loads, and if they could read this i'd thank them all for a great 2 years and for the book they made me of all our photos and messages and for my super 'Lambo!' t-shirt with all the signings. I'm ( Read more... )

Well despite all my best intentions as with every other school holiday so far it's the day before I go back and I still haven't done any marking, lesson planning or in fact anything at all. I felt so virtuous spending most of the first week off in the library researching my latest hypnotherapy essay I didn't feel the need to do any school work, and ( Read more... )

It's easter holidays right, and the cinema situation is shocking. There are no films i want to see on at all, except MAYBE sunshine but that's not on til friday when i'm leaving to go stay with paul's nice folks up in lincolnshire. Sara and I are being forced to go and see 'becoming jane', something recommended to me but that didn't look great on ( Read more... )

It is now the Easter holidays which is fab. I once saw a guy in America wearing a t-shirt that on the front said 'Teacher' and on the back said 'Doing it for the holidays' and sometimes i feel a bit like that wise man. Mainly when it's holiday time and i see everyone else going to work whilst i can sleep in and laze around like a student again. ( Read more... )

Haven't updated here for ages. Just thought I would. Well, life's changed a bit. Mainly because now I am engaged! Paul proposed a few weeks ago and I said yes so we are getting married next year which we are both really really happy about. I can hardly wait (and I have the most beautiful diamond ring to show for it)! He has very good diamond ring ( Read more... )

Hello world! I am a busy busy bumblebee at the moment, but without being yellow and black or with a sting in my tail that will kill me if i use it. What bad planning that design was, heh? Anyhow, today i am going out for lunch and then to the cinema tonight, which will hopefully be very pleasant. Then monday i have an advanced energy blast class to ( Read more... )

Paul's just broken our big bathroom mirror. Does this mean we are doomed for the next 7 years??

Most of these seem true - i thought i'd be a bit more paranoid though. The trait snapshot seems accurate at least.

Just thought i'd do a quick update. Things are going ok with the teaching, but i am pretty busy at the moment with counselling night-class, tutoring, jimmy's, having a life as well as doing the job full-time. I like the school and most of the kids and i'm finding the stuff i'm teaching interesting (though i can't say all the kids do). The weirdest ( Read more... )
