TGIF

Oh what a week! What a working week! No truer words that 'thank God it's Friday' were ever uttered! After a week that saw wonderful things happen in the classroom, to wonderful debating results and a great presentation, to disappointment after disappointment by people charged with responsibility (our debating draw changed mid competition and the convenor failed to notify us and I found out by accident on the day of...) to educators not supporting each other, rather the opposite... really left me feeling drained.

I'm not the only one... I don't know that anyone in my department left work this week feeling refreshed or otherwise. My trip home from debating was 73.4km according to my gps. To put that into perspective, I could have driven to Wollongong (south coast which is less than 73km from my place. I could have also driven to Palm Beach which is also closer than Emu Plains)

Don't get me wrong... I don't mind the travel but had I have known that I was travelling that distance, I may have made arrangements to stay in the mountains or something else... in any case I should stop being self indulgent, but having been sick this week has just made me look forward to the weekend!

I look forward to posting a blog post that is positive and reflective of a rested teacher!
