So my journal's turned into a complete teacher preening zone, which is so painfully crass and I apologise. I would talk about other things but there is genuinely nothing else in my life at present; I'm investing all my time in teaching and I'm still not nearly organised enough. I'm reassured by talking to my head of department who assures me that no one is, not yet. I kind of forget I've only been doing this eight weeks, it feels so much longer.

So yeah - teaching stuff and investigating flats to rent, that's my present situation. Money's going to drop sharply again which is a pain - I was just getting used to having a little money - but it's not like I've got the time to spend it in an interesting fashion; just too much from Etsy and Threadless plus the occasional ridiculously expensive night out when time permits. Really looking forward to my birthday. :D

Love for you guys, and I wish I had time to catch up with you all. How's it going?

Hey, so. Things are busy but just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your 100 wordses, even when I have not been able to find words of my own to express appreciation. Also pleased to hear of your teaching success. And, still out here, lurking. And applauding :)

AND BY THE WAY WHY YOU ARE MENTIONING IT.

Anything in particular you would like for your birthday? :D

Don't apologize! I was really happy for you! It is 100% okay to put the word around that turns out you are awesome, and you are nowhere near the excessive bragging line. Nowhere near it.

But I *like* the teacher preening.

A) teacher preening is worth sharing; B) you've also been writing us terrifying stories! So: do not apologize. I am about to send out a disastrous postdoc application, but at least I'm sending it at all -- I was sure I was going to fail to submit this one.

It's not preening, it's sharing the things which make your rewarding. If the kids are saying that, then you have every right to be proud. You should be.

My life right now is a combination of new bedding (pillows! goose down mattress cover!) and much pain. Tonight we worked on turning to skate backwards and a certain type of stop which means standing on tip-toe... the toe which was assaulted by a spiky table leg. It is unhappy.
