I’ve been tutoring (in effect) a pupil who isn’t in the same room as the rest of the class so that he knows what they’re doing and is doing the same. Usually my subject mentor (the teacher I follow around all day) stays with the rest of the class and gives the lesson. Today the … Read More

Today I learnt how to say house in Punjabi; ‘ka’ and corner is ‘kor-na’ (I’msure the linguists can tell me how I should have written those words, or any Punjabi speakers can tell me how I should have spelt them perhaps? We were spoken at for twenty minutes in Punjabi. It was to give us … Read More

I finally got my timetable through today. Hurray! Now I can plan for lessons (in actual fact they want me to do four separe schemes of work, what me petrified? Never!)It’s actualy quite de-stressing to finally know what I’m supposed to be doing before I get into school…However that lovely de-stressing element was somewhat destroyed … Read More

It seems that some of my friends were so waiting for an opportunity to say ‘told you so’ that they haven’t even assessed the situation. For all those of you who are of the opinion that I am unhappy because I am not in a relationship think before you tell me that because I might … Read More

‘Open your heart Mish. Trust to fate rather than fighting against it for once in your life. It might be worth it. And if it isn’t, you’re no worse off at the end. You’re hurting now, so why is a fear of hurting preventing you from doing something to end the hurt?’ Posted by Erfalaswen … Read More

Soon as I became six…well no really as soon as my sister became six all medecine started tasting horrible. Soon as my … Read More

I fell in love again. I’m really not very good at this, I wonder if anyone is or if it’s just me that wanders through life cocking up. This is the third time I’ve fallen and not noticed, well at least last time I noticed as I was falling and managed to clamber out of … Read More

I’m not sure where I stand on the subconcious. I had a conversation this morning in which I stated a belief I’ve held for a while now and then couldn’t explain why I’ve held onto this belief except for the feelings I had, which presumably came from my subconcious. Having said that I don’t really … Read More

FoxyJonno laughedat me a while back and told me I had a vocation to escape from. I wasn’t so sure I agreed with him about calling my wanting to be a teacher a vocation, now I rather think it is. But can I do it? I love the teaching that they have so far allowed … Read More
