In the middle of assessment week again following the end of term. Thankfully I started early on this lot and am hoping to finish a bit earlier and have a bit of a holiday. I have mixed feelings about finishing at Hagley, on the one hand I am glad to stop for a while and have a break, on the other I really enjoyed my time there and working with the students. We are heading to Hanmer this weekend for a brief holiday.

I have hit that stage again where I’m really tired and worn out…I always know because I start singing weird combinations of songs to myself. Currently I have a medley of Kiss’ I was made for lovin’ you and Burt Bacharac’s Rain drop’s keep falling on my head. I’m getting a lot of strange looks…luckily I’m too tired to care though should probably start listening to music again and settle my brain down a bit.

We went to a Punk Goth exhibition last night that one of our friends was part of. It was down at Creation and actually pretty cool. I’m not really into the whole goth thing (too much black) but Phil’s stuff was pretty cool. One of the holiday projects I’ve set for myself is to build a new pair of shorts and I’m keen to design a belt to go with them. I’m seeing camo shorts, black pockets and edging, studs, leather, metal utility rings, clips, zips and velcro…in what arrangement I currently have no idea.

Right, enough procrastination, time to get into assessment work.
