2 weeks to go
i may sound relieved to be finishing soon
and indeed i am
i used to think that teachers had it easy with holidays every 3 months. now i know that i was wrong and there's no way teachers could manage without a holiday from the kids. the holidays don't mean holidays from marking assignments and preparation for lessons, unit plans, work plans and all sorts of crap you never think of when you're a schoolkid. i can't wait for my holidays right now. it will give me time to recover from this cold/flu thing that's been hanging around for the last 7 weeks, and have some of my time to myself. i feel like i've lived three years in the past 9 weeks i've been working, i can't imagine how real teachers must feel. they see whole lives come and go before them. some of the teachers here even taught steve irwin in his biology class.
