It's been two weeks since school ended...already...I've been in a couple of times, and I've got planning to do. I've managed to clear out all my old material (I filled up a whole recycling box!) The planning will come into its own because I start teaching AS Psychology next term - I'm looking forward toContinue reading "School's Out"
Every Time We Say Goodbye
Well I suppose it had to come to an end...I mean they grow up so fast right?Alright, so my first proper year 13 offically left last Friday...and I've kept meaning to write something on my blog about them (they have this blog address - but whether they'll be bothered to check it...)The picture was takenContinue reading "Every Time We Say Goodbye"
Come Find Yourself
What Goes Around Comes Around Hindsight is wonderful. Looking back over the past forty years at my background and family, it may have been an inevitability that I am contributing to my community. It just didn’t look that way when I turned twenty-five. I consider Goans to be cynical, lacking integrity, gossipy, and unable toContinue reading "Come Find Yourself"
We Who Are Not As Others
Sometimes it's easy to think that the whole world thinks differently to me.That's 'cos I'm an arrogant ass right?Well selfish and rude maybe.But chatting to my sister and my fiancee...well people do have their weird opinions. I mean - my sister says things for effect so much - it's like she can read minds. IContinue reading "We Who Are Not As Others"
All Apologies
Sometimes the right title for a post in the form of a song title just hits ya.As was the case with this one.I've felt, over the past month, like I've been stuck between a rock and a hard place.Maybe it's because of being in a [Landmark] seminar which stirs up where I'm being a selfishContinue reading "All Apologies"
Electric Head – Pt. 1 (The Agony)
Yeah!Saturday night...was a big one!I have been lamenting about the state of heavy metal and decent places to go and all that...so I finally did something about it!Inevitably with my wonderful sister in Goa, and my fiancee not sharing the same taste in music, I was going on my own. I didn't actually mind, becauseContinue reading "Electric Head – Pt. 1 (The Agony)"
Back To School (Mini Maggit)
Aha...after the shenanigans of the day before half-term (see the pic!) I am sooooo knackered after the first week back...The week before half term was our charity week.In my madness I said to my tutor group (year 8 - so they're turning 13 years old) that if they raised over £200 for their Sponsored Silence,Continue reading "Back To School (Mini Maggit)"
Refuse/ Resist
I get angry more than I give myself credit for.I'm also a master of making myself wrong and getting upset...ahh...the joys of being human.The people closest to me bear the brunt of my nonsense...a simple miscommunication here, and a slightly raised voice there, and all hell breaks loose around me (well that's an exaggeration, butContinue reading "Refuse/ Resist"
More Human Than Human
There is nothing like sex to demonstrate how human we are...I mean it's such a natural thing, but we're so 'weird' about it...by that I mean that it's the thing that we all know about, we all think about, and we all lie about... I mean I know I've lied a lot about it.Maybe it'sContinue reading "More Human Than Human"
It Could Be Sweet
Well it's that kind of dead time on a Sunday evening...we've just had lots of aunties over...nice family atmosphere.I have to say I was a little nervous about them coming over - just in case they were critical or something...but not at all. It's all making me realise how nice it is to have ourContinue reading "It Could Be Sweet"
