In spite of feeling like I've spent pretty much every day working I'm still not completely ready for next week. I'm sure there's a relativistic effect when planning lessons - the more time you have, the longer everything takes. I reckon I could have a hundred days of solid work and still only end up planning about ten lessons.

On the plus side I'm much refreshed - I can now open my eyes without feeling like I've got ten ton weights pulling my eyelids back down, and I'm not waking up in the middle of the night and feeling frustrated with my year tens or wondering how my year sevens can be so dumb yet still remember to breathe. Well, not as much anyway.

Hopefully the time spent planning my lessons will pay off, especially as I have an observation on Friday. Let's hope it's a 'good' Friday. On the other hand it never seems to make much difference whether I spend half an hour planning a lesson or half a day. You'd think I'd learn.

I must be stupider than my year sevens.
