Holiday and a little bit of depression.
FINALLY the holiday is here! One week to recoop and recover and then back to the little darlings for the last six weeks. I'm lucky that in this job, which I currently hate, I can at least be guareenteed that I'll have a weeks break from the people that piss me off the most (aka the children). One class in particular are killing me slowly. I know that yestersday lesson went badly because of a combination of the following:
Me being so tired I could barely speak.
Last day of term
Last lesson but one before the end of term
None school uniform day.
I didn't plan anything taxing for that lesson because I knew it wouldn't go well. Call me a quitter, but until you've taught a class like this and succeeded, I'll choose to ignore you. That's something that really bugs me actually, people that think that I have an easy job. I can't be bothered to defend myself any more, I just nod and smile. Sometimes I throw in a 'Yeah it's an easy job, you should train for it, as a break from yours.' Then I get the old, 'oh no, I couldn't cope with 30 teenagers.' Make up your mind. Most of the time, I just don't tell people what I do. Yeap, you read that right, I'm ashamed to tell people I'm a teacher because of the way the profession is viewed. Oh well.
I don't know what I'm going to be doing this half term. I'm suppose to be catching up on my skating. I don't know if I want to. I tend to get really depressed at skating. Because I can't go as often, I'm not as good as the others, and I don't know them as well. So I feel rubbish and left out-all my own fault I know. I'm just far too easy to depress me. But I'll keep going. Hopefully the week off will put me into a better permenant mood for a while.
On a last note, does anyone know how to stop cursors on computers doing whatever the fuck they want? Mine keeps leaping about the page, moving backwards, making me type words in words so they lolikethisok and generally being a ball ache!!!!
