I don't like Thursdays...
May. 4th, 2006 10:12 pm... it's the busiest day of my week! On the plus side, it means I don't have time to pause for breath which means that the day flies even faster than usual (and that's saying something!) - on the downside, it means I don't have time to pause for breath, drink more than half a cup of tea, barely have time to eat my lunch or do any paperwork. Having two of the toughest year 9 classes in the school one after the other doesn't help much either.
This is my last term of training, and I'm teaching a full timetable on Weds Thurs and Fri now, which is fine - but of course, I still have the same amount of paperwork to do - well, actually, not the same amount - more, because I have more classes - but no time to do it during the school day. Typical - there must be some equation somewhere to the effect that paperwork increases exponentially in relation to the diminishing time I have in which to do it. Hm. There must be a mathematician somewhere who can work that out...
I see that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skywaterblue has gotten around to reading "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell"... I envy you! It's been sitting on the top of my "must get around to reading" pile for about a year now and is still gathering dust. I remember when I used to have time to read books for pleasure... *sigh*. Instead, my current reading list is peppered with titles such as "Getting the Buggers to Behave" (yup - it's a real book!) "100 ideas for Classroom Management", and "The Teacher's Toolkit". I used to get through about 3 books a week - now I'm lucky if it's three a YEAR! I am, however, a chapter or two into "Going Postal" (Terry Pratchett - a man who never used to write books in chapters!) - who knows? - I might even finish it before the Summer holidays!
