Lessons finish at 3pm, that’s good news, right? Well, yes, especially if its your last lecture before Christmas (yippee!), and actually, we’ve only got a few more next year, most of the time we are out doing experience in schools. So it’s very nearly our last lecture altogether, and I find this very scary. I really think that I need to be told an awful lot more stuff before I’m allowed to teach. I don’t know what it is that I need to be told, I just know that there is an awful lot of it.
But now is not the time to worry about that, now is the time to go down the pub, which we dutifully do. Having a few glasses of wine at 3 o’clock is potentially dangerous. One glass very soon becomes three (large glasses, so that’s a bottle) and you’ve still got to get home and help get the children to bed.
Lying down on a bed cuddling a 1 year old to sleep with a bottle of wine inside you, the inevitable happens and you fall asleep. If you slept through the night, that would be fine, but somehow you wake up at one in the morning, decide to cook tea, and can’t get back to sleep again. Not great when you have to be in school tomorrow, and you’ve committed to getting an assignment done by the end of next week. And its coming up to Christmas and there’s lots more bottles of wine to be drunk between now and then.
Clearly, doing your assignment at 1am isn’t a goer. I’m struggling to think exactly why not at the moment, but clearly it isn’t. So that’s how you end up blogging at 1am.
That’s was Thursday. It’s now Monday. I was up past midnight every day over the weekend doing my assignment, and spent large chunks of the days on it as well. I now know for certain that is no way to earn Brownie points in the run up to Christmas. However, it’s now nearly done (nearly), but, note to self, finish the assignment before you go down the pub next time.
Tonight its Monday, and Monday means football, so I’m going to have to put the finishing touches to it when I get back at about 10.
Unless, of course, anyone fancies a pint after the game…
