Long delay...
Jun. 7th, 2007 09:20 pmWell, posting for the first time in gods know how long. Mainly because I have been working all week and they haven't yet seen fit to give me a password that lets me onto the internet... they've also given me a laptop with a non functioning wireless connection and no battery life. Maybe they heard of me and know that if they let me near an internet capable computer they'll never get any work out of me :)
I did manage to get on long enough to find out that Rule7 is blocked but not tried LJ yet.
Work is going well, all things told. I have some really bad classes to deal with but I think I am getting through to them. Its going to be a slow process to convince them to take me seriously as a teacher. Having to play catch up on planning as well but have managed to run a few practical lessons this week already and have more planned next week. Do have a meeting next week with the head of biology (who is on maternity but is still coming in to do long term planning stuff) and the head of science to discuss the new AS level biology course. Head of science wants my input and says there is the possibility of some teaching of the AS course next term. I plan to try to hitch this to the GTP course at Newman college which I have applied for as part of my teaching practise.
Now, only thing I need to do is try to get some crits written for DII so I can keep up. The full time work has really been interfering with that.
Weekend plans are: Tutoring in the morning, sort kit in the afternoon, visit sarah at Maelstrom site in the evening, do some shopping and come home for dinner. Sunday may involve cinema...
