I'm in love

I went out for lunch today experienced love at first sight. I really never believed in it before but today, I'm converted. And the name of my new love? San Disk Cruzer micro. Yes, I am a sad geek, but be honest, you knew that already. I'd been looking for a USB Flash Drive for a while so I could move files from my PC to the schools' PCs more easily than using my camera and I final went and bought one. And I managed to find this little beauty. It's so small that it's taken up residence on my keyring. And I can't but smile in adoration whenever I look at it.

I did do some actual work today. I was at Tokamachi Koko and I made a start on sorting out the worksheets for teh first years. It's strange to look back over the whole year's work and see what you taught. The really strange thing is seeing how the same topic can be taught is so many different ways depending on the teacher you team-teach with. One teacher loves activities and games, another likes to stick to the textbook, another like a mix of both whilst a fourth sits back and lets me organise and run the lessons myself. It's also interesting to see how the two schools differ too, both in the topics taught and the style of teh activities. I must remember all this and bear it in mind when I prepare lessons for next year.

I had a bit of a private "Back Home" night tonight. I made a stew for tea, with hot sweet tea, had sponge cake and custard for pudding and watched my Peter Kay DVD. I though about putting big light on but the fluresent tubing would have ruined the mood.

Dear reader,
Please feel free to post a comment on any post in my blog. I'd love to hear from you and what you think of my online diary, photos etc.

Actually, to be honest, I just want to know if anyone is reading my blog or not.

Don't be scared,

Martin
