Guess what? I'm due back at school tomorrow. (Well, today according to the clock). I have marked all the History exams (half the class got B or better!!!) but haven't finished all the Maths exams (almost can't be bothered. They are irrelevant). I didn't get in to set up my 'new' classroom. I am unsure as to what I am doing for History as I left the books at school. Think I might take 'Cabaret' in and play them the 'Fatherland, Fatherland' scene.
Meanwhile, Bette and I share a general desperation.
Still, it's been a good holiday. I've read things, seen things and caught up with people. I've eaten too much and exercised too rigorously (ooowwww my calves).
Here's a couple of quick recommendations. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time"; the BBC series "Jekyll" and "Batman: The Dark Knight".
I'm off to follow in Bette's footsteps, tear my hair out and stare depressed at this term's curriculum.

Gosh it seemed like a short break. I hope you were able to refresh and go back new. Wishing you an great new beginning.
What did you think of the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night? I read it last year and thought it was interesting, although I will admit to rushing through it at the end...
Best wishes for the new semester! I hope you had a long enough break! And I hope that the mathematics fairy visited all your pupils in their dreams so they have a burning desire to learn math when they come to see you!
(gotta dream big!) :)

That has been a quick holiday! I can feel your excitement from here...NOT! ;o)
The Curious incident is fantastic and there's a second book by the same author (name escapes me) which is equally fantastic except in a different way. Good luck with the new semester!
I got the job, start on the 11th of August. Very excited. I hope the first day back went ok.
Hope your first day went well! And Batman was GREAT! Never read the Curious Incident one, but I'll have to check it out. :)
So? How did it go?
Eagerly waiting to hear how the first day went!!!
