With apologies to the Gershwin brothers May 22, 2010

Today is Sunday – the traditional day of rest. But not for me (apologies Gershwin brothers). I shall be sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by portfolios of student work, marking something called The Group Oral Presentation. Oh yes. Nothing as interesting as an essay. The marking of the Group Oral Presentation has four parts. […]

Phew: Well at least the house didn’t burn down April 30, 2010

Well really wasn’t I doing so well with my daily Eisteddfod updates until Wednesday. After that the wheels started to fall off the wagon. I got tired, sometimes a little bit snappy and basically was not anywhere near my computer. Therefore, no fascinating posts to read. So let’s see – On Thursday morning I wore […]

Day 4: Is brought to you by mascara and the colour green April 27, 2010

If only I had a chest filled with gold doubloons April 22, 2010

Now, technically I understand it’s Friday which technically means it should be fun tshirt Friday. There is a slight problem with this today. It’s my day for interviewing new applicants for our term 2 intake so I thought probably best to save the joy of seeing one of my tshirts until they are actually in […]

The grey half-light of 5am April 11, 2010

Dearest Monday It’s been some time since our last communication so I thought I would take this opportunity to write. I hope you don’t mind but I am going to provide you with a little constructive criticism. Please take it in the spirit in which it is intended. That is, get your freaking act together […]

Tuesday thanks for nothing Easter April 5, 2010

Now I am all confused. See it’s the first day of the working week today which is usually a Monday, but the calendar is telling me it’s Tuesday.
