So finding Richard the third is kind of awesome. Okay, so there's not really any historical finds to be discovered (well beyond where he ended up) but being able to use three different ways of determining that it was Dicky 3 is brilliant to show historical methodologies and the technology to determine not just what he looked like but how he died is something that could be really fun in class.
And of course following up with historical mysteries and going through the debates about who did what and why it matters 800 year later is just fun.
Beyond that i'm just playing a waiting game. I don't do well when i'm at loose ends... and considering school has only been back for a week there's not much need for casual teachers yet. So after re-doing and then dropping my resume around and getting things ready in case i'm called in for a casual day theres not much else for me to do.
This has led to me cleaning and organising first the bathroom, then the living room and finally the kitchen. Then I got into the spare room and finally packed up some of the crap thats been accumulating in there. My next task may be to re-catalogue the books and DVD's so that all my lists are up to date. Apparently, out-of-work me is both a neat-freak and slightly OCD.
Beyond that plan i've still got two shifts at work but thats Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning so it really doesn't cover much of my time, I've read four new books in the last two weeks, i've finished another season of Supernatural and started the next one...
And between writing this and posting it I got a call for work next week! Okay, it's only one day but hooray for work!
work,
