Why I like my job -

I feel all bubbly. On the way to school I ran into a kid I taught last year. In English they have been set a project on smiles and his group decided that I would be the ideal subject.

They are coming to take a picture later today.

Now I wish I *had* washed my hair this morning. (and I can't keep from smiling).

Teary -

Today was the year 12 English exam and the last day of classes for the year 11s.



















They found out about my tattoo this term and, while I couldn't show it to them (it's a bit low), I told them it was a book with a ribbon. So they made me a card that is a book with a ribbon...



















I was going to post what they wrote inside, but it has all their names on it, so privacy (blah blah etc).

They have reminded me about some of the reasons I got this tattoo in the first place.















I guess this is why teachers keep teaching.
