To-do list

Things to accomplish today before I call it a day:

1. Target to mark 10 scripts. Just 10!

2. Organise my desk and locate lost - instructions to students to maintain and organise their files, marking scheme, vcd on "10 Things I hate about you", sock.

3. Coordinate with bookshop lady on the number of files going out to each class, and then with the printing lady on the print-outs students need to get - content page, instructions, common grammar errors.... etc. etc.

4. Get in touch with creative director of documentary to sort out filming dates for band sections, choir sections, big-gun interviewees.

5. Call dive shop to fix advanced theory briefing for tomorrow night. Dayang here I come!!!

6. Come up with list of brilliant AQ questions based on Michael Moore's startlingly insightful docu-movie, "Bowling for Columbine" that will evaluate students' comprehension of issues concerning cultural mores, media influence and the ironies that abound in the U.S. of A.

Things to do today when there's time:

1. Pray - reflect on the Easter weekend past. And on movie "Passion" that fiance finally agreed to watch with me after watching Hellboy on Friday night - his interest piqued by watching the trailer for the movie while I queeued at the drinks line.

(Friend: So you spent Good Friday in church?

Us: Nope - we watched Hellboy!)


2. Finish reading Dan Brown's Deception Point... just coming to the part where the startling NASA discovery of a meteorite in the North Arctic Circle that provides certain proof of extra-terrestial life turns out to be an elaborate fraud. Oops hope didn't spoil it for anyone!!!

3. Go for run round school at 5pm.

4. Self-flagellate. To think, an English teacher like me using the word "slided" not once, not twice but three times when the past tense of "slide" is "slid"! Shocking.

which reminds me...

4. Confess to P and VP about the little "accident" with the piano key last Wednesday.


And they say teachers have no life.... pooh!
