It's beem a while since I wrote anything here. I haven't been in the mood really. Especially not the last two weeks since I got to know that my job is in jeopardy. This year I've been replacing a woman who by all accounts had moved permanently to Göteborg because her husband was getting a job there. Then, Friday afternoon, two weeks ago, she sent ( Read more... )

It's Easter and I've had a holiday this week. I haven't done anything special but I went to Stockholm today and bought even more books. I'm going to my mum's tomorrow to spend a couple of days there.

I'm getting a little worried that I spend too much time alone. But I actually like being alone. My cat Tryggve is great company and all the time I ( Read more... )

It's truly spring now. Today it must have been at least 15 degrees. That's always a bit of a problem for me every spring. I'm not used to the warmth and the strong sunshine and I tend to react with a headache. Things will get better once I get used to it and there's probably going to be a backlash in the weather sooner or later.

I fell asleep on my ( Read more... )

I'm back again after last week that was a bit hectic. A lot to do at work and I was feeling really tired in the evenings. I wasn't in a mood to post anything, but here I am.

I spent the weekend with my mum who still lives in the little house in the woods where I grew up. I brought my cat Tryggve along and since my mum has 10 cats the house got ( Read more... )

I normaly don't like Sundays much but today was an exception. On most Sundays I have lessons to prepare or papers to grade but today I decided not to do anything at all. I'm not like the teachers of Hogwarts in most fanfics, where they stay up most of the night grading papers. Students can wait and nobody's going to thank you for losing sleep. You ( Read more... )

I'm in a much better mood than I was the last time I posted. I don't know why, but I was feeling much better already on Wednesday morning. It's grey and rainy outside but I don't mind that much. I find that grey weather rather beautiful. It gives everything a mysterious air ( Read more... )

I'm back after a weekend that disappeared too quickly. Today there was another meeting at work that left me feeling irritated. We have some teachers at the school that are burning themselves out by taking on too much and now some of these ladies are expecting the rest of us to work as much as them. Sorry ladies, I'm working hard enough as it is. I' ( Read more... )

It's Friday and the end of a working week that hasn't exactly been the best. I've been tired and I've had a headache at times. Today was a fiiting end to this week. It started out in a good way with a discussion about "To Kill A Mockingbird" with my other group of advanced English. They actually liked the book and said it had made them think a lot ( Read more... )

My resolution to stay away from the book-sale came to nothing. Well, I resisted buying any books yesterday but today I surrendered. None of the shops had that book with pictures of male bodies, though, but I bought two books about history instead ( Read more... )

I'm back at work after my week's holiday. I was dreadfully tired this morning when I had to get up at 6.50. I always turn night into day on weekends and holidays and it's really hard to get back to falling asleep around midnight.

I'm re-reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" at the moment, because I'm forcing my students of advanced English to read it. I ( Read more... )
