OK we are in to the second quarter of 2011 and I *still* haven’t let go of 2010 yet…the post is still being planned. Pretty much events of March have been momentous. I mean it’s not every day one moves house. I think that’s the big thing about March. A whole new space, a wholeContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: March 2011”

JDS Insights: February 2011
I’ve done it again…two posts in one day…it’s because I’m on a roll and expecting a lot of people to be checking my blog…hahahahaha! I’ll be posting more on the reasons for that… Well February…such a lot happened. Organising. Negotiating. Discussing. Inspiring. Creating. Travelling. Skiing. Things like: organising a home-move, whilst negotiating with estate agentsContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: February 2011”
JDS Insights: January 2011
Time definitely flies when you’re having fun. We’re now almost a quarter of the way through the year…and I haven’t even picked my themes for this year and reviewed last year! Ah well…it’s in the works. Back to January…and it was a month of recovery and action. I’ve been engaged in something I had turnedContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: January 2011”
JDS Insights: December 2010
Only now am I getting around to posting about December. And it was an interesting month. As a teacher, I’ve started to realise how important the holidays are for physical well-being. What I mean is that in my job, I choose to give of myself. It’s pretty tiring. I trained a PGCE student, I sangContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: December 2010”
JDS Insights: November 2010
OKOKOK…unconventional and ridiculous – two blog posts in one day. I’m just tying up the loose ends. A month of moving forward. My first Saturday detention, my second trainee teacher, yet another 30th and well…a house? Maybe. Things moved quickly in November. I think this month showed how much life is about clearing stuff outContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: November 2010”
JDS Insights: October 2010
I remember October being tough. And getting older. First, my birthdays have stopped being a big deal. They pass. I’m always a little surprised by who doesn’t remember. The relevant people always remember. Second, I also re-engaged with something I turned my back on. I’m not sure if I’ll regret it in the long-run. Third,ContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: October 2010”
JDS Insights: September 2010
I’ve got some time on my hands. Can you tell? I’m relaxing by updating my blog again! September was back to school month. A whole new year and my career felt like it had been kick-started. Well only because I started to push and take on the things I wanted to. Sometimes it’s not justContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: September 2010”
JDS Insights: August 2010
Better late than never! Those of you that follow me on Twitter will know that my insights haven’t dried up…just my posting to my blog. August was a month of Sun and Family. Whilst I was enjoying the time off, I was coasting – spending money, finally getting round to finishing reading Frankenstein…and also -ContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: August 2010”
JDS Insights: July 2010
July has been a difficult month. I mean yeah school is over for the summer and I’ve got some time off. But things never stop being challenging. Or fucking annoying and frustrating depending on your mood/ perspective. Firstly, I started off July confronting my relationship with my body. Normally that can mean getting ill, butContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: July 2010”
JDS Insights: June 2010
June was the month when the fact it was almost the end of the academic year became real. Summer was coming. And the weather began to reflect this (for once). But I’ve also been thinking about how much I put up with around me – and I don’t always have the courage to address. ThereContinueContinue reading “JDS Insights: June 2010”
