I'm feeling totally uninspired

Ah, what to write about today...

The weather has been up and down with hot and humid followed by a little rain and then cold and wet. The problem isn't the weather but what to wear. Do I wear my fleece and get wet and sweaty or my waterproof and stay dry and sweaty? Then, once I'm at work, everywhere is hot so we open the windows but then it's draughty and the insects come in. Decisions, decisions, decisions, life is just sooo difficult at the moment.

Being the sort of person who doesn't do things by half (what absolute rubbish, I do as little as possible) I am currently studying Italian and have started the On-line Tutoring course. This means I've given up my morning lie-ins and had to become much more organised. Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Shiralee is one of the most organised people we know' - HA! is all I can say. Already I feel like I'm running from pillar to post trying to cover everything and I really need another six hours in the day. Luckily I've instituted a system whereby my students teach each other (I'm still there providing guidance, just not pouring all my energy into the classroom) and in doing so I know what I'm going to be teaching those classes for the rest of the year. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) this is only for half of my classes and I still have to look over the material and be prepared for the difficult questions but it has the big advantage of leading my students towards autonomy and thus increasing their confidence.

Oh, and finally and quickly... Dad, you found this place when you were over here and, to my shame I've never tried it. Maybe this Saturday.
