Morning all. Feeling reet crappy cos Wull just left for Tulliallan. Its the police training college for Scotland, and its away up north, up Alloa way. 15 weeks he'll be away for, though he'll be back every weekend which makes it not so bad. im really sad, its upsetting. gonna miss him very muchly. apparently they can come home at night if they want to though, as long as they're back for half 10 so its good to know that if i have a meltdown he could come visit but i should manage to hold it together, i hope lol.
in other news i had a 3 week long supply contract which ended on friday there which was fantastic, the longest stretch of supply ive had since august. school was great, staff were so lovely, right good banter. i had to organise a school show while i was there which was so godamn stressful. my class were doing a shortened version of joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat which was so fun but MY GOD the stress, it was mental. i do not get paid enough to organise costumes, rehearsals and all that shiz. but it went well, the head was really pleased cos id just been thrown into it but did a good job (so she and other staff said) so yeah, chuffed.
about a week ago, me and wull went to see our flat which was proper exciting! its his uncles old flat and still has all his stuff in it but in two weeks wull has 3 weeks off as Tulliallan shuts for the summer, so we'll get right in about it then and start clearing it, cleaning it and stuff. its nice, got 2 bedrooms and is a decent size. we when went to view it, wull was all "yeah this is cool, really nice, yeah, yeah" but i was out with my notepad and pen going "right the bath panel needs re-sealed, the bedroom ceiling needs re-plastered, that fucking daido (spelling??) rail is coming off" etc haha.
2 weeks til the end of term so i doubt ill get much work now. the school i was in booked me for friday coming, but in a different class, covering for a woman who's on a course. to be quite honest im going to be thinking really hard over the coming weeks about whether i want to continue with supply teaching. if im moving out in november i need a steady income coming in and i dont have that with supply. last month i made £200 in wages, which is fine if you're 16 but not much use to anyone else. realistically there is no hope of me getting a permanent post in the next few years. a local school had a job advertised and 506 people applied for it. that is just ridiculous, totally ridiculous. this is the situation im in.
so im thinking about getting just a "normal" job as it were, but still applying for any teaching jobs that come up. ive been on supply for a year, out there doing it myself so that will count for something, i think. pretty gutting tbh but needs must.
anyway im off to drown my sorrows in something fattening, maybe a subway :( hope you all are ok, i know i dont post much but i read everyday and comment when i can! xx
