Camping in School

This is my second night in the conference room in school.. Interact camp going on.. Can't imagine myself spending Friday and Saturday night in school, but oh well, at least this is the last night.. So, nothing much really, just that I have time to spare here, so might as well do something constructive.. of course, I left my marking in the staff room, and another stack at home, so this is probably the most constructive I can be here..

It's been a hectic term 2 really, shouldn't have been too surprised by that, but somehow still was.. but at least it's over, and it's time to look to term 3 for a fresh beginning.. which I hope it will be.. was feeling kinda worn out and jaded by the last 2 weeks of Term 2, getting short tempered, flaring up at students and all, which never really happened before (as my ex-students can attest to), and is something which I hope never happens.. but well, tough love I guess..

Time to clamp down and get tough.. No choice.. Promos are coming and if they don't buck up in Term 3, it will be too late.. and I really don't want to have to face people to explain why my student should/shouldn't be promoted.. So well, let's see what I can do then.. =)
