A little light reading

December 15, 2008

I love to read, I always have. My father used to get so frustrated by my ability to curl up in a corner and literally read all day for the entire weekend. Even now that I’m all growed up and often am too busy to read as much as I would like it’s rare to find me without a book of some kind in my hand/bag/car. One of the beautiful things about being an English teacher is that I get to indulge my reading habit and cal it work.

In 2009 I’ll be teaching two senior English classes, neither of which I taught this year. Which means two new reading lists to familarise myself with – and they’re pretty big reading lists! Needless to say I plan on spending some of my holidays getting up close and personal with this pile:

I’ve made a pretty good start and since last Thursday I’ve gotten through four and really enjoyed them. Right, back to the lounge and book number 5!

This pretty much sums up my mood today.

There was no real reason for it. Except maybe that it’s the beginning of the last week of what feels like a very busy term. Thing is there’s still a lot to get down in the next week, but we’re now dealing with people are just as over it as we are and everyone’s nerves are starting to wear a little thin.

Just got four more days to go…
