Of Fat and Work

Been back at work for just under a week now. Last week was as quiet as a grave so I didn't have anything to blog about. This week however everyone is back so it's work time!

Andy has asked me to start writing a case study on blogging for our project. Personally I'm going to write about how I feel about blogging and what I find it useful for. But how do you guys find blogging? Is it useful for reflection? Or do you just use blogs for a diary? Or maybe you just read them and not write one. Let me know! It would be extremely useful and interesting to see your thoughts.

Personally I've used it as a diary of my work placement as part of the assignment this year has been to keep a work log of everything. But I've also started to find it incredibly useful as a reflection tool. For example, when I've had a meeting I've blogged about how I felt about it. What was good what was bad. Then a few days later I've read the post and then reposted about the meeting. How I'm feeling about it after a few days to think about it all. It's interesting to see the differences and being able to comment back to yourself is great.

So there we are!

On a personal note, now it's time to lose the Christmas fat. Anyone else got a spare tyre? Still, that's what Christmas is all about isn't it? Eating yourself stupid till the point of feeling slightly ill?

Andy's Beard Watch Update: It's gone again! Every time I don't seem him for a couple of days it disappears. Maybe that's because it takes a couple of days to shave off with a diamond edged razor.

Of Hatred and Happiness

Well I've done this mornings session of teaching. Went really well. I really enjoyed doing it. Talked through how to give a good presentation then got them to create some little presentations and present them. Went well and I couldn't help smiling watching them do the presentations either. I could defiantly get used to being a teacher. I really really enjoyed doing it. I'm really glad I did those myBU inductions, it's given me a lot of confidence. It's no problem to stand up and talk in front of a class now.

On other things though, Claire's having some problems with her ex. He's being a dick. Normally I wouldn't post about this sort of thing, but it's annoying me. This is advice to all ex's, of either side. Don't play games. Once it's over, it's over. It doesn't help either side to mess around unless of course you deeply desire the attention even though you have another partner (like Neil). Feel like castrating him for what stress he's putting Claire through. But, what goes around comes around.
