remember remember the (mon)th of november
I spent most of today working - the only other things I did were:
1) walked in a lot of cold, schmizzly rain
2) made a tasty dinner (and ate it)
3) wrote part of a letter to my mother
4) did absolutely no marking (which should be discounted as something "did" except the act of not-doing it was so extreme as to warrant at least acknowledgment of some sort).
Shall be off timetable for the next three days - Yr 11 Expressive Arts exams, then Drama exams (and my course on Friday) mean I'm setting a lot of cover, but also getting time to collect my thoughts. Not that off timetable days aren't just as wearying as teaching - but at least there are less kids involved.
The ABC has taken down its daily comprehensive bulletin, for which I am well displeased. I am forced to watch SBS which has the succinct international quality, but not the local content to keep me satisfied. I'd been so used to watching a half hour broadcast every morning as I got ready for school; one without all the sensational talking-heads of the British news, with just a hint of local flavour.
PS - I miss quality fish and chips (ie. M&D I'll be needing AnB (and probably a veggie kofta) upon my return tout suite).
On the subject of meat - here's a little dogmatic something I found on my flist
