Joy and Sorrow
There is joy...oh yes...there is joy;
♥ It's Friday night, at last! Kas'll be here soon. Then we will have good food, good wine, good conversation and good movie watching!
♥ Tomorrow I've got Kas, Kevin, Skating, Blackpool, Kim, Hot Ice with them, Laurel and Diane, Mystique, the Pleasure Beach, Level 3 Skate UK and all kinds of fun! All of that AND it's Kas's turn to drive so there will also be alcohol (which I will DEFINITELY need at about 20:30pm tomorrow night ;p)
♥ I've got a cute new hair style. It's shorter, more wavy, bouncy and I like it :)
♥ The rain has been fantastic this week!
♥ Only two more weeks until half-term!!
♥ Good classes this week mostly. I had fun and relaxed a little for the first time since the term began. My classroom is slowly coming together. I'm feeling like I am standing on my feet again rather than swaying all over the place. I'm getting used to the student's, they are getting used to me, and they are doing well. I have good support in school, a group of teacher friends, and that, is invaluable.
♥ I am still losing weight - slowly I admit, but still it is going. My legs are much firmer, toned, my ass is slowly reducing from it's previously astronomical size and the best part...not a HINT of anything having gone from my boobs - yay!
On the flip side, there is also not so joyful stuff...
♣ OFSTED are inspecting my school next week. I;ve heard ALOT about this process and I know how utterly stressful it is. OFSTED are the boogyman equivilant for every teach and headteacher in the UK. My school got the call this morning and it is utter chaos with everything already tense, stressed and anxious. We weren't due an inspection either, so we're not sure why they have decided to suddenly come in. We've got at least one inspector who is renowned for being extremely difficult and harsh. My paperwork all needs to be in perfect order by Wednesday, but I also need to be ready to answer all kinds of questions that I simply do not have the answers too, about assessment for learning and policies and proceedures - stuff I don't know because I don't use it what with only teaching Sixth Form and only being permenant since this September. However, I am supposed to know all this stuff. So, I'm a little (very) anxious and tense about this.
♣ There is confusion, MUCH confusion in my persoanl life and my relationships with others. This is not the place for these issues though, or rather, I don't have naything I can say about these things here. I know I have at least one big decision to make, and soon, and right now the answer is far, far from being remotely clear. However, with one of the things that I am dealing with, it seems maybe the issue has removed itself from my life anyway, though it leaves behind a fair amount of introspective confusion and questioning.
♣ I've realised something...and I don't have the first idea what to do with it!
Oh, Sod it. It's Friday, Kas is here, wine awaits, and hot Ice Skaters too. Mmmm...
Have a good weekend everyone!
