Half Term!

I cannot wait! 
A whole week off, even though I know it will fly by. It means I get to spend lots of time with the boy I love and also get to see my family a bit more. Teaching (even though it's only 3 days a week at the moment) takes up so much of my time =[ 

For example, I should have finished around half 4 today, but noooo, I didn't get out til 6. Silly examination board checking people are visiting in two weeks. Hence, a meeting was called... which it turned out I didn't really need to be there for (nonetheless I found out what some acronyms were for the future).

Tomorrow is quite a dull day teaching-wise, but it is the start of the half term... Here's hoping tomorrow morning flies by!

Love always,

Valentines

Just a quickie blog tonight; had a really nice day with Martin today and I really can't wait for an extra long weekend with him =D

I've spent the last hour and half "making" a gift! And it's really made my eyes tired =[ far more tired than I thought I would be. It needs finishing tomorrow night too! eep. May have to sneakily do some of it at work =P

Love always,

Joys of Teaching

Having had Ofsted in last week, I really wasn't feeling in the mood to returning to teach at college today - all my enthusiastic energy seemed to have been drained from me.

Despite the first two hours of "prep time", where I had very little to do... because I'm already prepared; teaching today was an absolute delight!

The first session, ran smoothly, and everyone is really getting the hang of manipulating sound and hopefully it will result in us creating a really cool, thought out, podcast. The second session was a tad different, one of my students pulled me out at the start of the lesson to ask if she could spend the lesson creating a presentation to thank another member of the class for being so supportive. I figured, that this would be a great experience for the class, and of course agreed to let her do it.

With a little bit of help on the grammar she was ready to present what she had made infront of the whole class. I think everyone was taken back, particularly my ALS (teaching assistant) whose eyes were on the brim of crying! This class is *the* one which reminds me why I've wanted to be a teacher - even though they're a lower ability, they're so keen to learn, attentive and willing to accept anyone within their group. It makes me happy, and I wish many people (not just students)could see how they interact and take a leaf out of their book.

Red Hot Precious

And so today we headed to Liverpool.
My intentions were to buy new clothes and shoes, but that failed - as it often does. I think the best way for me to shop may be the internet, then I can just click when I like something a little bit and just regret it later.

We ended up going to watch "Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire", I think all four of us got, at least, teary eyed (my attempt at stopping this was just to squeeze Martin's hand/arm =P). My only problem with the film was that it would build up all this emotion from me and then diminish it all with something quite funny (note Precious' daughter (Mongo) saying 'Bye' in a loud, cute voice, after a very emotional scene with the Welfare Officer) Anyhoo it was very good and, unlike many films, I can actually see me watching it again in the near future.

 We followed the film with a rather yummy trans-world buffet. There was just so much to choose from! In fact, two much to fit even a small taster of everything in, in just one sitting. The desserts alone consisted of a dozen or so different ice creams, half a dozen different cakes, two cheesecakes, apple crumble! (and custard!!!), mouses, big jellies and little jellies. And then there were loads of jars with sweets in - dolly mixtures, midget gems, jelly beans etc. 

Will most definitly have to return there in the next few weeks =D


And finally, I promised to upload some Jedward pics from the rugby match and here they are! 

And, that's pretty much all there is to say for this evening.

Jedward! =O

Today has been fun ^.^

I got to wake up next to my amazing boyfriend, albeit we had to get up about 6 after getting to sleep around half 2! I really should be quite tired right now, but it hasn't quite hit yet.

This afternoon then consisted of two of the wonders of the world - JEDWARD and Rugby. I'll upload some pictures of those super cool twins tomorrow. It was a shame, quite a few evil folk boo'd them but it was nice to hear people singing along to Ghostbusters and such. They just have so much energy, I wonder if they ever sleep?

Rugby ended 58-0 to Warrington XD - was fairly fun and involved the ref (Thierry Alibert) accidentally crashing into one of the Warrington players just as they were to score.

This blog is awfully boring... but I'm not feeling terribly thoughtful this evening =[

I did read a brief review of Ghost Stories tho, apparently one woman had to leave the stalls only a few minutes in. Quite tension building.

Crosby!

I met some of Martin's friends tonight. They were very nice and we had fun!

There's not much else to write about today, had quite a lazy afternoon =P

Today has just made me love you more =]

Love always,

Rocking Sumo

I nearly didn't write anything!
Today has been cool, the college just received a 2 from Ofsted (from 4 and lots of notices to improve)! And now I'm with my amazing boyfriend ^.^

Here's the crazy rocking sumo thingy on his bedside table =P

Southport (excuse for a tiny blog)

I didn't want to break my run of daily blogs... I was hoping there'd be an interesting fact from the pub quiz (there wasn't). Alas, I need something to write about:

Last weekend we took a trip to Southport and walked up to the pier and drank tea - resulting in teaside!

Colds! Grrrr

When I wrote my first entry I was feeling fit and fine. Come the end of my evening I'm completely stuffed up and it's only getting worst as today has gone on (luckily no work on Wednesday!), not particularly enjoying the idea of working tomorrow =[

However, the day was not a loss. The rather wonderful Martin came and visited (even though I was awfull sniffley), I always fail to actually buy any clothes when I intend to do when we're around town centres still. I did by Valkyria Chronicles finally though.

I forgot! We're going to see Ghost Stories  on 13th February (thanks again to Martin). Excited and scared at the same time =P


I wanted some sort of in-depth introduction in my second post. Alas, man-flu has presented this.


Love Always,
Bow 

Introduction - sort of.

I just decided I should start writing a blog.

Maybe no one will read it, but maybe someone will - and it will make you smile. Or, maybe even get angry!

If not, at least I can look back at this and remember all the things I document ^.^

I want to fill this with lots of random photos and writings from my wandering around. I doodle a lot too, so maybe I'll upload some of those sometimes too!

I'm in love and he makes me happy; he lent me "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", it was an awesome book and I was quite sad to be losing Charlie as the narrator at the end of the book.

I'll introduce myself better in the near future, along with making the layout somewhat more original. However, today has been quite tiring and so I bid you adéu


Love always,
