It's the last chance I'll have today; I'll be working on an assignment from 2pm until about 11pm

Ah unlucky!

I used to leave assignments until the last minute then do a few all nighters and scrape a pass...there's certain elements of college life I miss....that particular facet is not one of them!

I've had weeks to do it, you'd think it'd be done and dusted by now

I'd say I'll be lucky to even scrape a pass, considering how little is done already.

Sure by leaving assignments to the last minute, there's a better chance of only including the bare minimum. So all the essential stuff with less waffle, which leads to a better assignment overall.

Or so I believed.

Started an acting class last night, just to try and be sociable and stuff.

/mmm tea

Sounds good Castor, how was it?

Bit sore from gym last night but should be fine for legs tonight. Looking forward to a tasty lunch.

Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter :pac:

Cool on the class CT, hope it went well, anything interesting covered?

Morning all..

Finally getting back to Irish soil, my last few attempts were foiled by last minute work and indecisive peeps in the office.. :rolleyes:

But all done now so waiting in the airport, sipping a coffee and chilling out..

In bad news, the milk has not been delivered yet and I need teaaaaaa!

Have tea without milk! It is actually quite tasty and you taste the tea more!

Good man, was at the gym there did a good enough session and physio later - called down to training last night just to show face and was dying to kick a ball so can't wait to get back

Show off - with your "fitness" :pac:

How goes the rehab?

Boo to the cold, lots of vitamins and fluids for you. Ah the milk came eventually, no need to go mad with the tea with no milk

Get Neurofen cold & flu - they work really well, i was dying with a flu recently and they sorted me out

Show off - with your "fitness" :pac:

How goes the rehab?

Sure if I was fit I'd be playing :pac: only doing stretching for rehab so the gym sessions have just been chest & arms, back & shoulders and core work every day.

Hoping the physio will give me some leg exercises to get working on the problem but hopefully I'll be back training tomorrow

Class was grand. The whole thing seemed to be just games to get comfortable with looking an eejit in front of each other and creativity and stuff. Guessing next week will be the beginning of the lessons proper. Only 4 week course. 2.5 hours each week.

Group hug icebreakers? Oh yeah, fun...

Next: Trust falls.

The fact there are a few nice looking women in it too doesn't hurt. :P

Slump time is very slumpy. Falling asleep at my keyboard.

One of the kids brought me in a chocolate coin she made with 'best student teacher' written on it today.

And today it was a bun they'd made....trying to fatten me up, aren't they?

We were talking about the Loch Ness monster (as you do

) and one of the kids came out with this gem: "I believe in it...you don't need to see everything to believe in it...after all when the sun goes down at night and the moon comes out you don't stop believing in the sun."
Proper little philosopher, but no worries, normal service resumed and went back to jabbering in my ear about ManU half an hour later.

Shup, I have plans to teach about Bigfoot tomorrow - purely because I have time to eat up AND I CAN.
Nah they're smart kids and this one'd be serious, even today it was like "Teacher, why don't you take the dry markers off the board so you don't keep using them?"....yes, yes that would make sense! I'll never laugh at the people on are you smarter than a 10 year old again :pac:

Also making an orchestra pop quiz right now...so I'm quite enjoying this
