Word for 2015

8 February 20158 February 2015 Kate

Last year's word was Positive. I think I maintained that for the most part with some notable lapses. This year, I had to think hard about what my focus should be. I settledĀ on 'Protect' because my biggest focus (mainly) at work is to protect myself better. To protect my feelings better. I open myself up… Continue reading Word for 2015

In Summer

20 July 2014 Kate

Term has ended and if we weren't about to move out of our house and be homeless for 4 months, I'd be so excessively chill right now but as it is we have a LOT to do before Friday morning. It's a strange feeling to be moving without our house being ready (built!) and because… Continue reading In Summer

Happy

4 March 2014 Kate

I don't generally think of myself as an unhappy person. I have a wonderful family, a great (if demanding) job and a lot of superb friends. Yet I was still intrigued by the #100HappyDays challenge that I had heard of - a colleague was doing it in order to focus on the positive things about… Continue reading Happy

26 January 201426 January 2014 Kate

You like the kids more than they like you You will care more about the kids' grades than they will You can't be a perfectionist (luckily I'm not) You have to be able to take criticism (unfortunately I can't) I am rubbish at being a novice

Pressure

12 January 2014 Kate

Since this month's NaBloPoMo theme is 'pressure', I thought I ought to write about it at least once this month and yet every day that I have come to write something I have felt reluctant. Maybe this is because 'pressure' is such a negative word and my word for 2014, as you know, is Positivity.… Continue reading Pressure

Back to School

7 January 20146 January 2014 Kate

Yesterday, I was back at school for teacher training and while this posts, I will be slap bang in the middle of a full day of teaching. As I went to bed last night, I was surprisingly calm (despite some last minute planning because it wouldn't be me if I was *completely* prepared ahead of… Continue reading Back to School

Avoidance

9 November 20139 November 2013 Kate

It's Saturday night and instead of marking, I'm draining my iPad battery reading the whole of Buzzfeed and taking freaky selfies. Love my job. Hate the homework.

Work Eat Sleep

7 November 20137 November 2013 Kate

Today has been one of those days where it's non-stop. A long day at work including a three hour open evening (in which I talked to two of my year 11s and realised they actually like my subject and me as their teacher - a revelation!) has been followed by a fantastic dinner out with… Continue reading Work Eat Sleep
