The dawn of realisation.
This next month will see me realise just how apt my blog title is. I'm beginning to wonder if I haven't got too much on my plate...and my daughter isn't well.
Let's just take a look at things chronologically:
- rehearsals every lunchtime next week for Rencontres Théâtrales, then performance on 7th March, plus the whole day to organise, which should be interesting considering some of the ridiculous questions I have had to answer. I thought teachers were capable of rational thought.
- two filmmaking workshops one 27th Feb and 8th March
- S4 speaking tests to do
- S1 multimedia project about school
- S2 presentations to mark
- British Council Connecting Classrooms project
- Cultural Xtra Day
- to cap it all I have two hour long presentations to give at Communicate 07
So quite a lot to do then. Although I have a lot on this is the way I like things as I seem to work better when I am busy. I can focus in for short periods each day and get quite a lot done, including prepping lessons and marking. 
One thing that seriously annoys me though are please takes. Come on...I have no free lunchtimes in most weeks and then I get 2 out of 5 free periods taken by please takes...usually guidance as well. On Friday I was told there was no one else to do a cover when I had calls to make and loads of stuff to do. There were 3 other members of staff having coffee in the staff room...hmmm! Something not right.
