I've been through hell and back in the past 2 weeks and things are just starting to become a little clearer - but not by much!
Go here and veg - it's a great place to relax!
Teaching sux sometimes... thank God for the kids - the staff are total wankers!

Soul Searching Sux... So Do Saturdays!
Just watching 'Jackass... behind the ass', and I've realized that I'll never be the carefree skateboarding 15/16/17 year old lunatic that I used to be - ever again.
Ciel's journal today really moved me. It was so bloody, brutal and true that it's given me some things to think about. I read it just before my folks came...

Don't be worried about our Ciel, she's stronger than she realises, she's awesome. I agree this year has been lame, and hopefully the next one will be better. If I can only find a new job all will be excellent. Fingers crossed!
Yey - my first week is FINALLY over!
So okay, first things first...

3) I encouraged kids to talk about art work, but didn't know the complete historical background to the images myself
4) I didn't deal with...
