I walk the line between indifference and, meh, whatever: March 2007
http://lifeinasecondaryschool.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
I walk the line between indifference and, meh, whatever. Friday, 30 March 2007. Well school is now officially over. The students were allowed to leave after assemblies this afternoon. And the staff all scarpered pretty quickly after that.not unusual. I had to stay to get 9 (yes 9) exclusion letters done, all for 5 days each on return from school and all pending the decision to make them permanent. Bit of a disastrous end to a brilliant term.

I walk the line between indifference and, meh, whatever: February 2007
http://lifeinasecondaryschool.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
I walk the line between indifference and, meh, whatever. Wednesday, 21 February 2007. We've all been there. Some have fond memories, some have not so fond memories, but we've all been to school. We less able soles, who don't have a PGCE, and work in the bowls of the school, in Admin, have (in the opinion of this writer) more common sense than the teachers. Teachers do have a habit, not all I'll admit, of thinking that they are the be all and end all of the school. I hope you enjoy reading.

I walk the line between indifference and, meh, whatever: I am still alive - honest!
http://lifeinasecondaryschool.blogspot.com/2007/12/i-am-still-alive-honest.html
I walk the line between indifference and, meh, whatever. Monday, 31 December 2007. I am still alive - honest! I hang my head in shame - a shame that has the name laziness. I have not blogged for a whole two months, but there is a reason, honest. So I have taken my (lack of) education in my hands and I have signed up for a degree with the OU. In History - my favourite subject, which is weird. Take it one step at a time, but what if.I know useless. So there you go - that's where I've been and that's. 13 Ja...

My travel diary - an exploration of some parts of the world along the route of the ancient Silk Road - the historical link between east and west, which shaped so much of our current world. Thursday, 21 February 2008. Kyrgyz Taxi Driver Challenge. Whilst waiting for a car to take us form the bus station David began his odyssey of trying any and every local item of food and drink – some more successfully than others! Another horticultural fact that has been hushed up by Holland for decades is that Kyrgyzst...

My travel diary - an exploration of some parts of the world along the route of the ancient Silk Road - the historical link between east and west, which shaped so much of our current world. Wednesday, 20 February 2008. Kazakh Steppe en route to Bishkek. Food was reduced to ‘Something in Batter’ from a local stall and a bag of yummy (? We just couldn’t. 8221; at me as if their establishment was so exclusive I couldn’t possibly be allowed in! We wondered around feeling increasingly hopeless and considering ...

Wednesday, 20 February 2008. Nicole Kidman - very good actress; very bad cat! 8221; However, he wasn’t keen on us staying there as, yet again, we were the only girls. God forbid! Think it offended his sensibilities. So he was much happier when we agreed to take the double bed in the master bedroom upstairs. 2 mop heade...

Thursday, 21 February 2008. Such is the joy of living in a country where the vodka costs more than the mixers. After all that, we set off from Karakol on the long trip along the southern shore of Lake Issyk-Kul on a 2 day trip over the mountains to Osh. The 1st leg of the journey included David the Aussie, luckily ...

Wednesday, 20 February 2008. There is more evidence of art and music in this city too, giving the impression that the people have the luxury to indulge in more cultural activities – even if they do remain in the shadow of the opium trade. Not only were the clothes terrifying – but the souvenirs on the top floor w...
