The Saturday Update

Hoooooolidays!!

Yep, we are finally on holiday.  It's been a long time coming.  We have spent the first two days getting lots of sleep but also being a bit productive.  We finished sorting wedding presents, the thank you cards are almost finished, Nico reinstalled my whole laptop and I got caught up on Project Life.

Last weekend we had a lovely games night evening with friends, which I won't bore you with since I already posted on it.  It featured heavily in Project Life this week too.

Work this week was a bit of a wind down.  I had to get several exams written - especially year ten as they are on work experience as soon as we get back to school.  I also watched Forrest Gump with my top set in preparation for a film review they will be writing.  I forgot how emotional that film is!  Luckily they are a lovely class to watch it with. However, as in need of the break as I was, I am still excited about work at the moment.  There are lots of new projects coming up and I am still feeling more settled than ever there.

My evening classes also went better and I quite enjoyed them this week.  I always pick up new things from my pupils and students and the highlight this week was teaching the alphabet.  When one of the pupils couldn't remember what 'y' was during a listening activity, the quietest guy in the class pipes up - "just do the dance...YMCA!"  Brilliant.

So, as I mentioned there has been lots of relaxing for two days here but I did go on my first run of the season last night - it was good but I did remember why I go on a morning - it was hard work.  Also, I have a couple of exciting projects lined up for the holidays so watch out for those on here.  

This weekend will be a quiet one but we are gearing up for our trip to Copenhagen on Thursday!  So exciting!!
