What a weird week...
Nov. 9th, 2004 07:49 pm... and it's only Tuesday.
It began pleasant enough; Sunday I enjoyed some very pleasant company for another walk along the embankment and lunch in a nice restaurant nestled in a pocket of artsy bohemia that had me remniscing about the shops of Victoria. And, with that in mind, I should point out that I had some good luck in tracking down where to meet local pagans (that included finding a pagan friendly (if poorly stocked) knick knack shop in Aylesbury).
Monday went fairly well; the 10s weren't any worse than expected and the 7s and 8s were actually pretty good (starting the unit on "Holes" by watching part of the film helped). 'Course, the 9s spoiled it all by going completely mental in the last period; and they were much like that today as well. And the 10s, well..., they're still the 10s. I even had to break up a fight today. It was between one of my 8s coming into class and one of the 9s who should have been somewhere else. Perhaps I should feel guilty for saying this, but I'm hoping the 9 gets a few days of exclusion (suspension) out of this; he's one of the worst trouble makers amongst the 9s and I could use a break from him (especially given how buggy the 9s have been this week (and not just in my class, apparently)). And all this the day after I get a message stating that said 9's parents want to speak with me and his form tutor next week. I imagine it may have something to do with all the concern slips he's been getting.
Yep, fun, fun, fun...
Ah well, it's still going better than last week.
