Well its been a long time. But it does feel like this year has raced me by. It also feels like I have done very little work this term even though I know that too be a lie.
Do not become a teacher unless you are prepared to loose contact with alot of friends in a year, put every relationship you have under stress, fall asleep mid sentence, loose the rag with people half your height, make friends and enemies everywhere you go and have to read some many policy documents that the words all merge into one and you forget how to speak, read and write English!!
Well I hope I have done enough work to make it through this year without too many bruises and with the ability to get a job at the end of it. Which thankfully I don't need to get too worked up about until the end of this year as I get one years placement paid this time :) Then its off to Aberdeen for me in search of work (it seems to be the only place looking for Art teachers at the moment).
Once again I don't feel ready to leave Uni. I was scared of leaving art school and now the end of this year approaches and this time I really do have to leave education and get a job (in education) studying must be my comfort blanket and a weird one at that because I'm not very studious.
I don't really have much else to add, accept the people I work with at the moment a bizarre to say the least and no matter what I say or do seem to have the most adverse reaction to my very presence. meh.
