All work and little play makes something go something...

What a term! Four weeks into the school term, the beginning of semester two and I feel like I need a holiday! Our year 12 students have just sat examinations, the last before the state external examination, the HSC. I have just marked so many papers, but I still have a pile or so to mark!
I have changed my exercise routine. I am running 12km relatively easy now, but was losing some muscle mass, so now I have a strength training program with smaller runs during the week. The weights sessions are rigorous but just wonderful. Sadly, I don't think I'll be making it this weekend because I am sick. This winter has proven to be a cold one and has proven to play havoc with so many of my colleagues, friends, family and I. Just when I thought I was better and was well and truly into the exercise routine, I felt a sore throat and now I don't feel well.
Am getting a little tired of this and am really looking forward to Spring. My favourite season of the year!
I miss blogging. I find it a great way to reflect on the day or the week. I love reading other people's blogs and I am looking forward to setting up a separate blog to focus on teaching and learning.
Anyway, hope you are well and hope to be able to post something a little more interesting soon!
