Bloody hell, Badgers, that's early to be up! :(

Am about to drag myself off for 2 hours of trying to get 30 teenagers to be enthusiastic about Flannery O'Connor. :D
 
It is not ideal. Was asleep by 23:00 so got five and a half hours, plus half hour either side lazing in bed.

Sounds like you have a tough two hours ahead then!!!!
 
Do you know why you woke up? Are you a bad sleeper?

I think my class will be ok as long as they all turn up, 2hrs of material for 30 kids does not last so long if you only get 10. :oops:
 
Am a good sleeper but tend to be up as soon as I wake up. Rarely a problem but if I wake up needing a wee in the early hours it usually means I am up. Not too bad having 5.5 hours, will sleep better and longer tonight.

How old are the class then?
 
Mr Yu_Gi_Oh has that problem, once he's awake he's awake, like you he always sleeps better the next night though. :)

My class are all 15/16, non-native English speakers who go to a very nice Chinese school where they study the English curriculum, in English. Poor fuckers.
 
So you do tutoring with them?
I am guessing from your writing you are English? Sorry if that sounds dumb :D

My morning plan is set. Chill till 7am then head off to work about half past. Will yawn the afternoon away :)
 
Hah, yeah I'm English. :D It doesn't sound dumb to ask though.

I run an after-school reading club where I'm meant to introduce them to American literature and culture. lol

Enjoy your morning! :cool:
 
Drag bus again. No disruptive Yoof on the bus today, they are probably all over at Martys yard hanging and chilling and ting :D

Started a new audio book though. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by a Swedish fellow. Have got all three in the series so they had better be good!

I know that feeling - when I did teaching practice, my first attempt at teaching, I was supposed to prepare a topic for about 60 minutes teaching - but I was so nervous, I was introduced by the regular teacher, sat down (too nervous to think about standing up :D:D) read out my bit, very fast, only paused when the regular teacher passed me a note suggesting I calm down and slow down. I couldn't and 15 minutes after I started, finished and had to be rescued by the regular teacher. :(

I was a lot better by the end of the 3 months - strolling around the room, leaning on desks, teaching without notes.

After school finished that day:

Parent: Nice day at school today dear
Child: I know we can't afford it mother but I need to go private
Parent: But we have talked about this
Child: This is my future you are ruining mother, I hate you so much
Parent: Alright dear, daddy can sell some more blood and do longer shifts down the asbestos mines
Child: I love you mummy
 
Also one for DrC:

Everyone has Royal Wedding fever … so why not make the most of the bank holiday this year and join in the festivities as Wills & Kate tie the knot in London Town on the 29th April. You don’t have to arrive in a chauffer driven car either… With prices starting from £1 plus 50p booking fee, you can travel to London Victoria from destinations all over the UK, even a 575 mile trip from Inverness, and be sure of an amazing deal.
