Working for the weekend!

Wednesday is the best day of the week.

 Not only is it the halway point to the weekend, but it’s the day that I have two classes and THREE free periods. YES. I am a lazy cow on Wednesdays. And when I say Lazy, I mean I am not in the classroom, yelling at the top of my lungs. Instead, I am working on my quest for world domination.


Speaking of worl
d domination, the man who put that idea into my head was spotted over the weekend. Amy, Gemma, Chrissy and I headed over to Dublin to celebrate Amy’s birthday – lucky for us, our tour guide was the man himself, Mark Daly. We checked out the Guinness Factory and then did a bit of shopping. When the lights went down on Dublin town we headed out to the posh places – Mark and his friend, Brendan lead the way. All I have to say – those two were the luckiest men in the city that night. HOW fabulous are we?

The weekend was a success, but now it’s Wednesday and I’m still recovering from my lack of sleep. During my three fee periods I am working on my research proposal for Cambridge. I am incredibly fired up by the political aspects of education and the fact that some US schools are actually cutting fine arts programs due to money issues. Do they not know that we live in a world where creativity and innovation are key skills for success? Do they not know that through studying anything artistic, students are gaining skills in that area?? It burns me up, it really does. And to read articles that it’s happening in my own area?

There goes the bell and I am teaching after my tea break! Oh my! The life of a teacher!
