The problems derived from time off..

haha so I have a 2 week break from work (I teach 8 year olds) for easter....in that time I have only 3 things that I really have to do - Plan some work for the first few weeks back. Mark the English writing task I set my class in the last week of school. Paint and tile the bathroom. So why, I ask myself, with the first week of that holiday time gone, have I not even remotely started one of those task. And the only answers I can come up with are a) the lure of my friends that work crazy bar staff hours, alcohol and 9 ball pool is far to strong and b) I'm addicted to this darn forum! The biggest problem with this though is that, while I care enough to register it as a problem....I clearly do not care enough to do anything about it!

are they just teasing me

soooooo I am progressing along nicely in my mission to be a level 3.....and then I stop and get stuck at level 2 74% are they just teasing me or what?! Wow I'm sleepy ...crappy parents evenings. Not big fan of 12 hour days am I.....wtf did I turn into Yoda?

procrastination issues.

Wow I have problems...and it doesn't make sense as a student when it's practically the law to procrastinate I didn't, I worked my little butt off. Appart from my minor internet addiction and 3 nights a week drinking requirement I didn't waste a whole lot of time and barely even watched any TV...except of cause diagnosis murder for house chore wagers purposes. Now however when I am being paid to work, and when 29 8 year olds (plus parents) require me to have done so......I feel the need to spend time pondering which XF character I could live without!! I have issues.

XF for comfort wtf

Ok some I have this virus thing that everyone is getting and therefore couldn't go out for usual firday night fun. But instead found myself under the duvet watching XF and not even warm and fuzzy episodes like the gold berg variation. So I had to ask myself at what point in my life did I stop watching the land before time as a pick me up when sick and start watching Donnie Phester try to kill Scully for the second time.....and more to the point what does that say about me! Hehe! Anyway bedtime.

work life balance

hehe we had a meeting to work today about work life balance in teaching staff. The concensus being that teachers don't have enough time in the day for work and family/personal demands. I couldn't help thinking I can fit all that in to my day but could use a couple more hours to feed my XF, internet addiction!

Me

Hi anyone that is interested enough in little me to be reading this. To be honest I don't hold much hope for keeping this going. I have always been one to do it rather than write about it but I am hopping that by starting a blog my level might increase a bit. I want to be a level 3 so I can post pictures!
