A bit late, but still..
On monday I woke in a panic at about 4.40am. I don't know exactly what I was dreaming about but it was freaking me out. I know it had something to do with the fourth form science class and me not having them ready for the test on thursday. Which is the truth. They weren't ready. I couldn't get back to sleep. It was horrible. I ended up reading a book for 5 min (reading is part of my going to sleep ritual) and then having to say out loud that I would right a worksheet that covered any material I had missed as well as revising the stuff for the test. Then I could sleep, Finally at about 5.20. A little over an hour later I had to get up anyway.
Later on Monday I had a meeting with my HOD and talked about the fourth form class. She realised hers weren't ready either, so the test is moved to next week. Thank goodness.
Now I am freaking over my third form. They have to do a practical assessment, and I think that will be alright, but the HOD is going to watch me on the first day of the assessment. I hope it goes ok but I worry I won't be ready.
I don't have to teach either third or fourth form tomorrow because there is swimming sports. I'm going to try and do some good work. I'm also going to go home and have a nap today. Then do some reading. I really have to seriously plan the stuff for the third formers and sort out the stuff for the fourth formers.
The funny thing is that at the start of the units I was most worried about my fifth formers. They are the ones that seem most on track now. Go figure.
Also as an extra thing, I had a great birthday. Dinner at Zico's was good. Beau was a total honey and snuck to my flat when I wasn't there and tidied my room a bit and left my presents on my bed AND he paid (mostly) for my dinner. Sis gave me fabulous cardies which she had decorated with ribbon (they look sooo cool) and Blondie had sneakily made me an extremely chocolately chocolate cake which Sokky and Sis decorated, covering the whole thing with Jaffas and Malteasers! Awesome! Then Blondie and I had a shared party on Saturday. Some of my fav people couldn't make it, but I still managed to have a good time ;) that might have been helped along by the strawberry lindauer. Fizzy wine makes me silly. Beau was also extremely cuddly all night due to Absinthe. He's normally mega against PDA so it was kinda confusing for tipsy me. Amusing for others tho.
Thanks to everyone who did make it. Your presence was the best present... altho gotta give props to Matt&Debz for "Pinchy the Lobster Bear" Soooo coool and strange.
