Quick Update

It's late, and really time for bed, but it's time I put something else up here, (hey Mum...)

It's been busy at school, but life is getting easier. Now it's all about tying up ends, I don't need to be constantly wracking my brain and the net for new ideas for classes. Making worksheets has been hard, but I feel necessary, as I can never find one with the right thing on them. A lot of the worksheets in the department are outdated, or inapropriate for this generation. I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I plan to take it on as a project and get something published.

I ran a test with the year 9's today which went well I feel considering how hard it has been to get the students to focus on learning theory. It's been a long hard semester with the year 9's having to constantly think of songs and find recordings and tabs. At the end of the semester they weren't anywhere near where I wanted them to be, I can see a lot of potential in the course to improve on. That's a good thing, however, in a new teachers course.

The uni assignments are all in, and being marked, and I should get uni grades soon. I am nervous because now I have felt what it is like to fail something. In terms of having to make up the class that I failed, I may not have to. The uni are discussing it at the moment and I may be allowed to graduate because the class that I failed is not a core requirement. I passed all the core classes with good grades, so that should stand me in good stead. Holding my breath and my fingers...
