back to schoolioool

Sooo, today was the first day back after my week off for half term. You're thinking...

But you know what....

It really DIDNT!!!

i know... shocker!

There are days when i just LOVE my job, despite the early starts (hello 6am alarm clock this morning) the general having to be organised (of which im generally NOT!) The "doing" stuff (choosing to take a group of year 8 kids on a trip, first thing this morning? on the first day back?! yes. i AM crazy) and then keeping tabs on those little cherubs (three role calls later and we discover the missing boy is STILL in the toilet...) umm. so, what was that i saying about loving my job....!? 

Ahh YES. cos really - its not a bad job to have!!! In fact most of the time, its actually pretty good fun. I do realise that i basically just listed alot of the downpoints of it...haha. But thats only cos they are easier to list. Cos the GOOD points are all-ecompasing, i cant pinpoint specifics... I get to go in and teach the subject i love all day long! Well that just tops it for me :) It certainly beats sitting in an office or typing into a computer all day! 

I know that when leave, im sure gonna miss it....

Im really NOT gonna miss the staff meetings tho, having only just got home from one....  i mean really?! on the FIRST day back?! thats just mean! Not to mention the endless paperwork (ive JUST finished off the junior reports and now we've been given the deadline for all the senior reports... in like TWO weeks time.... Holy Bumholes)

But there you go... It wouldnt be called a "job" if there wasnt some hardship! And i read somewhere that colleagues who have a good old moan at work, end up feeling more satisfied and happier in their job! So basically - its ok to let it all out!! (not that i have any trouble with that!)

What are the GOOD or BAD points about your job? 

Ive only ever been a teacher (or a shop assistant) so... 

lets share job stories!!

Ahhhh. i do feel strangely ZEN now after my "let it out" ramble :p Lets hope it lasts till my yoga class tomo. Im usually more fast-asleep-dog than downward-facing-dog! But its the last in my 6 week course and so i def wanna go... Im deciding whether to renew for another 6weeks or not, cos i do enjoy it and it def helps me to be more mindful about exercise and wanting to be "active" all the time, but I dont wanna do the evenings anymore... im just too tired after work. Sooo, theres a cheeky new 6-week sunday session that ive got my eye on! Much better :)

Anyways, im off now... so i hope you're all having a Marvellous Monday and I will catch up with you guys soooooon! xx
