So it begins.

Collected 75 scripts last Friday to mark and grade by the end of next week. And so it begins.

Another year.

As I was saying the other day, to a contract teacher, at times, this job can be extremely satisfying, especially when you get a letter like I did from a student last week, which ended off - "you are one cool teacher, not because of what you did with the class, but because you tried to understand us."

But I can't see myself in this job for longer than the remaining duration of my bond (the details I will not divulge here given the public nature of a blog).

And lightning comes and lightning goes
And it's all the same to me
Let it in

So goes the catchy chorus of Third Eye Blind's Bonfire, from their latest album URSA Major. I will need some music to tide me through to June.
