Got that Friday feeling!

I've done it, i've survived a full week at school! I'll tell you some of the high and low points of the week.

It started pretty low, tried group work with th class, lets just say it was a 'nightmare'. Ever have one of those days where you just want to cry, well Wednesday was it! I had been out late the night before (but, yay, it was CU small group!!) and its never good to teach whilst tired! Actually my lesson went ok, i got the children to write a diary as if they had experienced an earthquake. Some of them were excellent about how they fainted, or how they had to go to another country and at the airport reporters kept asking them questions! Thursday was made much better with the comments of one of the girls. She said 'Miss Annan, are you married?' and i said 'no' and she went 'aww' sympathising for me because i was not married. Then she asked if i lived with somebody, or who did i live with. So i told her i lived with my mum and dad and big brother, then she told me that she was glad i didn't live alone because that would be sad! Don't you just love kids!

Ooh, today i had my crit! Twas soooo horrible, i really didn't like it! The first i saw of my tutors was when they walked into the class at 1.15. I had the children on my own from 1 till about 2.20. My tutors sat in the corner and looked through my file, pulled out sheets made notes, showed things to each other. I didn't know whether it was a good thing or not! But, don't worry i have survived and got satisfactory in all of the sections. In my chat with them afterwards they gave me a few action points to look at, so all is good! :)

ok, so here's some pointers to look for to see if you are stressed. (all of which were experienced by me this week!)

you know your stressed when:
* you buy Irn Bru, take it for your lunch, forget about it and not drink it!
* you make yourself bread and butter sandwiches for lunch!
* go to the shop to buy comfort food (popcorn!) and then not eat it!
* ask and then offer to get somebody something (a Mars Bar for my Bro) and then completely forget about it until you walk back in the drive!
* you give a child into trouble using the wrong name!
* you forget that you're not at school, and start using your teacher voice with other members of your family!
* you fill yet another blog with useless rubbish which nobody really cares about!

One day i will write a blog with real meaning, and everybody will say 'she knows what she's talking about!' so keep a look out for it!

Verse for blog:~ " O my people, listen to my teaching. Open your ears to what I am saying" Psalm 78:1 (NLT) hehehe! honestly, im not big headed! :D
