survived!

Well first week on my new job done and I am so looking forward to the weekend (jeeze I didnt realise how complacent I got working part time). I would be lying if I said I was not shitting myself but to be honest once I got there there really was not time to worry - just had to get on and deal with it! I have now taught all years (7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th)and thoroughly loved it - even though I had one group of year 9's from hell (spawn of the devil no less) so 2 of the lads got detention in my first lesson (cheeky gits) - not good but soon sorted them out - I took advice and went in hard and quickly earned the nickname of Miss Kick Ass Jones (ha ha)but at least the kids are being nice and doing what they are told! I obvioulsy have my fav year to teach which has surprised me (see if anyone can guess???)And also got some compliments along the way from boss etc which is an added bonus or maybe they are just going easy on me??? As it is although the week started stressful I feel like I've been there ages and have a feeling I'm going to really enjoy this job.

Sooooooo as a reward - and the fact that I've not had a glass of wine all week - I've been to the shop tonight and am celebrating with a bottle of wine and some Ben and Jerry ice cream which was on special offer (not a healthy tea but hey). E is with her father this weekend also so a nice lie in for me and hoping to see a mate this weekend that I've not seen for bloody ages - likelihood of this happening though I think is slim unless he plucks up the courage!!!!

I did have a surprise visit from a mate J though on Wednesday night (on route from Cambridge to Stranraer to catch the ferry to Belfast (reporting from there this weekend i think)which was good fun :)

So going to crack open bottle of Chablis and have some Phish Food (think thats how you spell it!).
