Leaving Never Land

"Peter Pan" has come to a close. Am I happy? Sad?

I think I'm just a bit exhausted.

I know I'm not going to direct a play of that magnitude again. The idea of getting as many kids involved as possible - yea, big mistake. A cast of 55 ... I was asking for it.

Well that chapter is over and now what? I've got a nice long period of relaxation on the cards....amongst other things.

Still have to work on the QTS portfolio.....the bloody awful, horrid hoop they make foreign teachers jump through.

And then there's my Cambridge essay. First one! Fantastic! But quite intimidating. I'm looking at Picture Books and their uses in Secondary Schools. I've read some fantastic books on the subject. Actually came across the idea of Mimesis. That's crazy interesting. Doesn't really apply to this Essay - but perhaps I will focus my next on it.

Mimesis is imitation in the sense of “re-presentation." Recreating something based on what you have previously seen. How all great ideas are born.

Interesting....something to ponder...Vague. Just like this country.

I'm off work tomorrow. The new muscle relaxants are a bit strong, so they have put me off into fairy land. I like it. I'll watch "Run Fatboy, Run" and perhaps even "Love Actually." Oooooooo..."Elf?"

I love the Christmas season....I'll tell you what though, Star Wars IV was on last night....I could really go for Episode III. What a nerd.....

Apologies for the jumpy post....it's the meds....

Until the next time....
