I'm dumb
I'm having a busy year, to say the least. It's called "doing a PGCE". I haven't had time to go through my bank statement with a calculator.
Nevertheless, I should probably have noticed that I haven't received any student loan so far, since September. I should have £1952.78 by now.
My bursary's been coming in, I haven't been overdrawn, so I haven't ( Read more... ) -
HAX!!!
I just logged in and my statue user pic had been changed! It was a flash thingy, Harry Potter and the Snakes on a Plane. Raaaaaandom...it was mildly amusing, which might lead me to believe it was a friendly prank by someone I know, but the subtitle it gave Samuel L. Jackson had bad language, as you'd guess, so I deleted it ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: In a Former Life
Nope, don't believe in it. If I did, then clearly in my past life I was the woman whose face they modelled the Sphinx on, the sixth Spartan back at the battle of Thermopylae, the man who shot William Rufus in the New Forest, and the inventor of sliced bread.
Except I wasn't, because I don't believe in it. Dayum, I don't want to come back here once I ( Read more... ) -

Snow!
I didn't get much teaching done today. What five or six year old is paying attention to maths when it's snowing? Actual snow that settled, and you could pick up and throw at your mate! Not a light feathering that melts the second it comes within a metre of anything, or a weak hail mixed with rain, a proper dump of snow!
After lunch, a lot of them ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Robotic
EVE, from Wall-E.
"Rise of the Robots" was the term topic for my first teaching practice, and I was looking for examples of female robots, to keep the girls interested. Do a search on Google. If a robot is a girl, its usually for the purpose of her female genitalia. Without trying to sound militantly feminist - all robots are assumed male unless ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I'm at home - they cancelled afternoon lectures again, due to staff illness. Marjon doesn't do cover lecturers. At the moment, I feel like I've almost got more time off than actually learning. I'd say "it's gone beyond a joke", but it was beyond a joke the time before last. It's past beyond a joke. It would be fine - time to work on our assignments ( Read more... ) -
Of Tea and Teachers
Six boxes of fairtrade, organic Earl Grey tea arrived at my house. That's 300 teabags in all.
:) I'm good for a little while.
It's impossibly cold. I know there are colder parts of the world, but nobody really lives there except polar bears and Sarah Palin. It's too cold for human life here, forget any further north.
So I spent all of tuesday ( Read more... ) -
This is me giving my piffling difficulties the finger. Because I could so have it worse.
I am a miserable person to live with when I’m writing an essay. It just takes me so long, and I get rather melodramatic and very uncharitable. Other things have also been conspiring to make me gloomy this week. But y’know what?
I REFUSE.
