Wednesday Evening

Hi Everyone - Anyone?

Three days in and I'm on a roll...

7am on Monday morning my Learning Team Leader (Year 7) - a good buddy of mine - and I had a cup of coffee before going up to Office Works to collect our exercise books for the kids. We sat down and worked out how many books we needed (H was buying for the Year 7 team and I was buying for the Years 8 to 10 English classes), we wrote out a list and decided that because they were so cheap we would double the quantity!!!

So off we went, bought the books ($10.00 for 2000) and paid $40.00 to have them delivered. Talk about a touch of irony, but neither of us have big cars so we just couldn't fit them all in. Funnily enough just as we were leaving the store we heard the supervisor informing all of the checkout staff that there was now a limit of 50 exercise per customer. LUCKY US!!! I proceeded to purchase stationery for the Senior School English teachers and so that was all to be delivered along with the exercise books. So COOL!!!! We then went to breakfast, mmm mm bacon and egg sandwiches.

Yesterday I spent some time organising my documents and continuing with the planning for years 7 to 10 (I've put the year 11 and 12 programming in the too hard basket for the moment). God sometimes I feel so good about what I have done. NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS GIRL'S EGO!!!!!!!

It was today that H and I went down to school for the first time this year. She and I have both moved from the year 9 learning team where we were last year, to the year 7 Learning Area. I walked in to an abomination of packing boxes and what looked like piles and piles of papers. I just about suggested that we go home and start next week. H was laughing at me saying that she and her mother (one of our fabulous school volunteers) had spent her birthday washing walls!!!! AND that I just had to get over myself - and so I began what seemed an impossible task.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered a bottle of champagne in the middle of all my paraphenalia!!! It is now sitting in my fridge getting cool and looking forward to putting a smile on my face on Friday evening when I share with a few of my pals!!!

See: there is an upside!!!
