Hello chickens

Fairly uneventful week so far, one child on the verge of explusion, another being bundled into three detentions just to do the work he should have done in twenty minutes a week ago. Spent an hour in the tutors meeting and the "pupils causing concern" section lasted 40 minutes.

It's starting to get very heavy with the slog into the exam periods with my already pitiable social life dropping to a teeny tiny trickle, despite the invitations. Instead of having a rather pleasant pub brunch this morning I chose sixth form marking instead, go me.

My main concern at the moment is my Year 12 AS group who seem to be getting absolutely nothing done and are lazy as hell. In fact it's become so bad that I have actually set aside time in my lesson plan to bollock them soundly. Their commentary essays average out at a paragraph each ... which they are supposed to get 60 marks for ... yes well.

Saw K-chan in his panto/comedy show as the resident dame, he does make a very effective woman ... although does need serious heeled-shoe walking lessons. However he is now back in man form and dozing on the bed after coming back from the aftershow party at 2:30, drenched through and very annoyed about colliding with someone on his bike. The language coming out of this boy! Although understable.

In other news, have completely lost interest in Megatokyo ... which is a shame as I was totally enjoying it right up until the last 20 strips. It seems to have become a total mess of in-jokes and plots within plots within plots. I am losing track.

Bloopers and unintentional humour or the week.

"There was a huge cue waiting to get onto the shuttle"
"Then they started barging into the cue."
"Birds provide essential meat and dairy" (mmm, bird milk)
"They committed Suisied" I am assuming this is the eighth Rozen maiden after Suiseiseki and Souseiseki
