Back to uni tomorrow,
one part of me can't wait the other part is sad about not going back to teach 1S. Give me two stars and a wish about your life at the moment. Two stars and a wish is an assessment for learning tool we use with the kids where they we find two positives with their work and one thing they wish to improve on - EG. No floating letters, Neat handwriting - Try to make all the letters face the right way.

Alt Q: What's your favourite dinosaur?

Di Iawn, here's a sticker.
Allosaurus was cool, I still like the velociraptor and kentrosaurus.

I've never seen Spongebob, although I nearly bought a Spongebob ukulele once
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:11, Reply)

It is without doubt one of the best childrens cartoons ever.
Utterly hilarious. Ukulele's are for hippies and mexicans. I am eric cartman asygigh.

you'd make a crap postman
with all your floating letters

You mean an AWESOME postman
I could just sit in my van and levitate them into the letterboxes.
( Hdjejjwsjdjjf LOOK, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:10, Reply)

it depends if you have control of them
i suppose. that or it's different letter and you could have real life subtitles in front of you all the time so people don't misunderstand you
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:12, Reply)

Subtitles would be useful when I'm drunk
Even I don't understand me half the time then.

My letters have always floated. But I'm a scientist and we can get away with that.
( Hdjejjwsjdjjf LOOK, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:20, Reply)

I have illegible handwriting
and no excuse for it.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:20, Reply)

Do what I do
Simply write everything important on a computer.
( Hdjejjwsjdjjf LOOK, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:21, Reply)

I like to use my bad handwriting to
cover for the fact I have no idea what to write
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:24, Reply)

1st star - I'm alive
2nd star - I'm eating a cheese sammich.

Wish - everything else.
( girlinthehole, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:11, Reply)

Star: I'm in nursery for another week.
Star: Only 20 working days until the Easter holidays.
Wish: To have a permanent job so I can get on with my life.

I thought you were older than nursery age?
good typing skills for a 3 year old :)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:18, Reply)

I'm like The Littlest Hobo
I go where I'm needed.
At the moment the need is in nursery.

Maybe tomorrow I'll want to settle down,
Until tomorrow I'll just keep moving on.

*supply teacher high fives!*

( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:21, Reply)

Not supply as such
although I have done that.
I am at one school but I don't have my own class.
I teach maths to year two children who are falling behind for half the day and cover other classes for the rest of the day.
At the moment the nursery teacher is off sick so I am covering her class.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:26, Reply)

nursery is horrible
just countless faces all needing something... scares the shit out of me. Evening btw =)

'ning
I thought I'd hate it, but actually I love it.

Our children are very independent, they get their own snack and was up afterwards!

Did lose a boy for 20 minutes the other day though. Found him sitting on the loo. He'd had a shit and was confused about what to do next. I leaned over the top of the cubicle, which is only 4 ft high, and talked him though arse wiping process.

( girlinthehole, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:25, Reply)

sometimes I think 6th form age might need that
but at least it's not my job
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:26, Reply)

that is genius and gross at the same time, well done though!
one of mine dropped her alice band down the bog and wanted me to get it! no amount of tears will get me to put my hand down a piss filled bog.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:27, Reply)

I didn't imagine part of my teaching career
would involve saying "look at the paper. Is there any poo on it? No, then you are finished. Pull up your pants and flush the loo".

sure wish I wasn't eating when I read that :(

2 stars and a wish??
I seem to have finally given up weed (apart from the odd bedtime mini-joint) with no effort whatsoever; and I've finally found a good hairdresser - 3 decent haircuts in a row, a record in my life. I wish I could find a way to use my newfound unstoned motivation to make some $$$.
(Alfonso Bongo BELL AIRE HORSE EXTRAORDINAIRE, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:20, Reply)

it gets young ones to reflect and evaluate their own work and teaches them
that it is ok to make mistakes just try to recognise them. Good skills on the weed.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:22, Reply)

Cool
kinda a mental two-steps forward and it's OK to be human and take one back thing I guess + the language probably appeals to youngsters.

Right I'm off to watch I shot Andy Warhol. Looks like the kind of film that I would have had to be stoned for before. This is weird.
(Alfonso Bongo BELL AIRE HORSE EXTRAORDINAIRE, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:33, Reply)

I remember watching that once
it was pretty good, not as weird as you might think (well not that I remember, it was a long time ago)
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:34, Reply)

Star 1: Watching the boy playing the Rabid Rabbids time game. Hilarious.

Wish: Huge Lotto win (quite happy otherwise).

Alt: Dunno either the ankylosaurus or the stegasaurus.
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:33, Reply)

oh golly.
I always like the Lickalottapuss lesbian dinosaur. Makes me giggle.

Star 1: I have some really good ideas for my first essays.

Star 2: I found a 20 dollar note on the ground yesterday

wish? I wish I knew what to do with the 20. And how to START my stupid essays. I know what they're about now, just not sure where to begin...
(Poppet some assembly required., Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:35, Reply)

write a list of points
then fill out the bits in between. Don't worry about the start until you've finished
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:38, Reply)

Agreed
Once you've written it write a opening paragraph saying something like: In this essay I am going to explore the relationship between x and y and prove that z is true. Or some such shit.

What do I know, i've managed to get this far through life only having written about 3 essays, No idea how that is possible.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:42, Reply)

Give the 20 to charity.
It's a good tenet to live by. Lets you do good at no cost. Win-win.
(porkylips looks better as the sun goes down., Sun 13 Mar 2011, 20:40, Reply)

yeah normally I would but...
I let the Resident managers know I found it and told them to send anyone over if someone came to them this week saying "I lost my 20 bucks and need it to get home blaah" so I can give it back.
