School Practice so far

Normal apologises for not blogging before, but for the last 2 weeks my life has pretty much been an existence. I'm not complaining, because I am loving it. I just feel that I get up in the morning, go to school, come back from school, do school related work, like marking, lesson planning, preparing rescources etc, and then going to bed. At the weekends it's pretty much lesson planning, marking and rescource making. When I'm not doing that its basically either home group, church or hanging out with some of my mates from church, which may or may not include putting nail varish on James's toe nails! (he asked us to!I didn't get time to put the mascara on which he also wanted) I know what you're going to say - this is what teaching is, and yes I know it is, and a lot more besides. It's just taking me ages to do things that takes fully qualified teachers about 15 mins. I will get quicker at it, given time.
My class are lovley, or can be when my teacher is in. However, last week my class teacher was out on a course and left me in charge for the day, so my class decided to act up. I was not having any of it. We did lots of sitting in silence practice, and also moving around the classroom in silence practice. I was kinda mean to them, and have since started to be a little more positive with them, and it is paying off. They have been better for me since then, even if my teacher has not been in the room.
So other things - um, well Argyle still can't win away from home, Liverpool still can't score goals (or at least winning goals) and England well, still can't beat France. Kimi started the season well - it's going to take time to get used to this new qualifying system.
Last weekend it was my Grandparent's Golden Wedding Anniversary. We all went over for a lunch, which was really nice.
So that is pretty much all that has been happening for the past few weeks.
