Friday night was fun. We went on a boat trip down the Thames - celebratory work do because we have recently been admitted as a member of an elite group of colleges. Dinner, drink, and dancing; good times.
Today, not so good.
The rain is beating on the loft windows, and my feet are chilly, even though I'm wearing socks.
I'm supposed to be working but I'm in that mode where I can't get going because there just seems too much to do and I don't know where to start. I've got a lesson observation on Tuesday, which means that I must submit the lesson plan and all the supporting documentation by 9am tomorrow. I'm about half-way through planning it, but I keep dithering about exactly which fabulous teaching strategies I should include, which means that I keep adding new activities, then taking them out again. Plus, I have all my normal non-observed lessons to plan for the forthcoming week, a large pile of marking to get through, and a PGCE assignment to tackle. Not to mention the ironing.
Ugh.
Okay, stopping procrastinating now... If I put my mind to it, I should be able to get the observed lesson out of the way by lunch-time, and then I'll feel better...

Best of luck with your observed lesson!
The party on the river sounds very nice. Congratulations to your school!
Will that mean higher costs for education for the students, and higher salaries for the teachers?

Thanks, the observation went well! Or at least, I think I did - official feedback is tomorrow... The college's new status won't change either fees or salaries; we are a state institution so it's free for the kids, and our salary scales will remain unchanged. It's just a prestige thing. :-)
