Well, today has been a day of mental rather than physical exercise...a lot of marking. Still have ten papers to go, that's 30 essays to mark so not a long post tonight.

Hope your day has been more rewarding than mine!

Stay strong. Stay honest.

Hi Wordsworth,

I also teach - it is hard to mark for hours and resist eating everything in sight. Stay strong!

I have reports due this Thursday and will be thinking of you as I try not to eat!

Hi Slimmer-swimmer,

We have book scrutinies soon, reports for year 7 this week and next week, tutor reports due the week after, etc it is just never ending! In part, it is my own fault for falling so far behind, but if you plan well marking suffers, if you mark well, planning suffers. You always feel that nothing is ever good enough. Still, I carry on because I love the job and the kids. Stay strong with your reports and thank you so much for your support!

Dear Words,

I am a planner - I find it exciting to source materials and plan fun assignments lesson. And as you might guess. I am up to my eyeballs in marking. I suppose it always gets done. Tues night, however, I resorted to an old habit and ate a brownie and tea(s) at a local cafe. I have not done this since December so it is a serious skip I suppose!

Usually I get up early to mark before school... but at this time, it is the book ends to me day. It will be over soon....I am going to try and stay strong Wed night. Best of luck to you too!
