Today marks the last day of my Easter break, and I am very happy to say that I have taken some well-needed time off, exploring Dublin & London, celebrating a good friend’s birthday and another good friend’s hen party. I got a first draft for each of my essays done before all of this (so I didn’t feel too guilty!) and then relished in putting my own wellbeing first!
Whilst it has been a lovely break, I am now struggling to get my head back into ‘PGCE’ mode. I’ve redrafted my work today – it’s due in Monday next week – and I’ll probably give it one last look over on Thursday, as I have a busy weekend ahead again!
My main worry at the moment is jobs – as mentioned previously, I have only applied for the one job (basically at my dream school) and I haven’t heard anything as of yet. I’m kinda stuck in the mentality of ‘if they don’t want me no one will want me’ as I was there for my first placement. The deadline was today, so hopefully I’ll hear something tomorrow, if not I’ll email in! Annoyingly, I haven’t seen anything else I want to apply for yet… so I’ll just have to keep my eyes open!
But for now, I am trying to remind myself what I actually need to take to uni…. Chances are I’ll forget something! Only a short post for the past fortnight, I’m sure I’ll have something more interesting on Friday!
Teaching Targets
J
Currently Reading:
Bleak House – Charles Dickens (actually managed to read this on the plane – something about having an allotted slot of nothing that makes me feel less guilty about reading for a long period!)
Why I Write –George Orwell
This is actually a collection of different essays Orwell wrote – I started reading this for my assignment but it’s actually super interesting!
Much Ado About Teaching 
I’m really pleased to hear that you put your wellbeing first over the Easter break!
