Back to School...

Already, it's the third week of Term 3. How time flies. The house felt pretty quiet without Caroline, and at first it was a bit of a drag going back to work, truly waking up from the lovely haze of the holidays to find early mornings and a few extra pounds from all the indulgence.

As usual, you hit the ground running when you work at a school, so time has raced by, and it's been good. Last weekend Dave and I were in recovery mode and didn't go out except for food and DVDs until Sunda afternoon, when we went for a nice walk. I've resumed my ballet class every week and I've got a pile of marking to do.

Last week the fridge stopped working, which was frustrating because we don't want to buy a new fridge when we're only going to be in the house another 5 months. However, Dave took everything out, cleaned and defrosted it completely, and it's working again! Fingers crossed that it'll last. Dave's the best for doing that!

Highs of the last couple of weeks: Starting TV Genre with the year 9s. Finishing Season 3 of "Breaking Bad". Finishing Parent-Teacher interviews for the year. Discovering the deliciousness of sugar free Aloe Vera drink. Handing in my resignation for the end of the year. Having a good talk with some of the year 12 girls. Hyde Park walk on Sunday. Finding out that Moe's engagement party is happening when we'll be in Montreal. Phone date with Caroline.

Lows of the last couple of weeks: Caroline leaving. My year 8s and their behaviour. Getting soaked on the way to work. My eye twitching. Holiday weight. Chilly, early mornings.

All in all, things are good!
