Assistant Voyager: November 2008
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 November 2008. Nothing - the best product you can ever own. A weekend of nothingness is somewhat cathartic. There's a reason why we feel better for doing nothing even though we should be doing something. And that reason is most likely to be that we can do it all tomorrow. Besides, the worst that can happen is that I have a few all nighters and skip a lot more meals, right? Tuesday, 18 November 2008. Hate the sin, not the sinner. And so, to try evening out the ratio of moans to smiles:. It's be...

Assistant Voyager: June 2008
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 18 June 2008. The record shows I took the blows. France will forever be a place that I associate with escapism and good times, but at the same time I could never commit to coming back here on a more permanent basis. Not until I'm old enough to retire, anyway. Yearly holidays to visit friends that are still here will be enough to satisfy my nostalgic yearnings, which will surely come to the fore in about a year's time. How do I know this? Tuesday, 10 June 2008. Even now as I sit here and lament...

Assistant Voyager: August 2010
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 14 August 2010. House pride. Or lack thereof. Sure as I am that I've mentioned this before, I absolutely despise the notion of packing up one's belongings, only for them to have to be unpacked a mere couple of hours later at their destination.

Assistant Voyager: Hate the sin, not the sinner
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2008/11/hate-sin-not-sinner.html
Tuesday, 18 November 2008. Hate the sin, not the sinner. And so, to try evening out the ratio of moans to smiles:. How does an elephant ask for a bun? He smiles politely and says "Can I have a bun, please? Boom boom, as good ol' Basil Brush would say. I'm not convinced this joke works without the upper-arm-mashing-face trunk manoeuvre. 19 November 2008 at 22:34. A little tricky to implement. But if I could be bothered to look, I'm sure some clever sod has posted a video on YouTube. La Vague, Irrésolue.

Assistant Voyager: Life. Existence. Never the twain shall meet.
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2010/07/life-existence-never-twain-shall-meet.html
Saturday, 3 July 2010. Life Existence. Never the twain shall meet. My my my. I'd almost forgotten the existence of this page until a dear friend told me he'd read my archive as a direct result of his own boredom. It's been longer than a while, so much has been and gone in my life since April 2009 that I don't know how best to summarise it. But here goes:. What a wonderful level 5 piece of work (if it were written in a foreign language, of course). A short text using 2 tenses and a description/opinion.

Assistant Voyager: The thrill of the ride?
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2009/04/thrill-of-ride.html
Sunday, 12 April 2009. The thrill of the ride? There are many things that we like. And many more things that we don't like. The pinnacle of discontent is in those tasks that we don't like but have to do anyway. Who gives a flying * * whether somebody thinks it's a good idea while someone else thinks it's bad? Who on earth can say they are genuinely concerned that there is little research and even less literature on their preferred teaching style? It would seem that those running the course are not concer...

Assistant Voyager: August 2008
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 21 August 2008. Students, that is. Not all, but most. I am just as guilty as the next person for leaving the washing up for a week, or not making my bed, or taking clothes off the airer so that I can wear them straight away. Difference between being very messy and being dirty. I took over my new flat this past week, and at first was rather pleased with everything - I had a nice spacious flat, very near the university campus with parking spaces nearby to boot. What else could I ask for? I've wri...

Assistant Voyager: Progression Leads to Regression
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2008/10/progression-leads-to-regression.html
Sunday, 12 October 2008. Progression Leads to Regression. To the nearest airport, I'm bemoaning this new chapter. In case I haven't explicitly mentioned, this new chapter is a PGCE (or teacher training, for you international readers). Now while the thought of teaching and igniting the sparks of motivation in the next generation ignites. And seriously, I have no idea how I'm going to edit it down - 20% is taken up in my introduction. I just had the brainwave of analogising something in the assignment, but...

Assistant Voyager: September 2008
http://assistantvoyager.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, 6 September 2008. Some you win, some you lose. At the end of the day it means next to nothing. How come I ruined three cloths cleaning the kitchen alone on Wednesday morning? Note that just cleaning the outside of the fridge (I couldn't bring myself to do the inside just yet) took one of those three. Myself included, were OK and got through the process quickly enough with enough time left for a coffee before the next session. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
