I'm surprised I didn't cry, I'm so sad to have left. I have had so much fun and I was really getting into it and now I've gotta leave and not come back next term. None of the students made any fuss because they all assumed I was staying there so when I told them I wasn't they all got emotional and started hugging me. I guess that's nice. I hope ( Read more... )

The whole school assembly today was nice. There was a tribute to the late headmaster and some nice things were said and some nice songs sung ( Read more... )

Ooh, we had a real treat last period! Some of the teachers did karaoke and dressed up and everything, it was great. Even one of the art teachers did it.

Just had a lesson with Year 11. They're great fun. They're doing a project entitled 'Word and Image' where they choose some text from a song or a play or a poem and illustrate it or make a piece based on it. Most of them are doing pretty well ( Read more... )

My Year 12 students are so goddamn lazy! Only one turned up for our lesson, and since their Common Room is right behind the art room I decided I would go and pay them a visit. It was fun. I went in and said that if they weren't going to come to the lesson then the lesson would be brought to them. I guess that's kind of letting them win in a way ( Read more... )

Last night was so much fun. I went and hung out with my fellow Birthday Girl and I was only meant to be there for afternoon tea, but I ended up staying til it was time to catch the last bus home! We have so much fun when we're together, but I hadn't seen her since our birthday, which was like 6 weeks ago, that's crazy ( Read more... )

If you live in a creaky old house, opposite a churchyard, in a small, quiet, secluded village in the middle of the countryside, I advise you not to read H.P. Lovecraft just before going to bed on a night with a full moon.

You will not sleep.

Just a word of advice.
