I have a lowish pain day and watched Hugo to celebrate.
Of the various things I need to do in the next week I have so far achieved precisely one. This isn't quite as bad as it sounds (not quite) for of the difficult items, I've made progress on two more. I don't think this is going to be a fascinating week, however.
Except for teaching on Wednesday. Teaching will be fascinating because it's my favourite class and I have something special lined up for this term. Not quantum physics. Not poetry. Just words. Except that words are never 'just' words, and that's what we're going to spend the term discovering.
I'm reflecting back on the last few years with my Wednesday class and I've just realised that their reading skills are all far more advanced, and so are their analytical skills. It really does make a difference when students want to learn and willingly accept homework. A very big difference.
And now I'm reflecting on my reflections and realised that I'm in danger of simple procrastination. Never put off til later today the task that you can do tomorrow? (For my next trick, I shall book a bus.)
