I haven't been sleeping well, because of muscle soreness from the game on saturday. Usually it subsides after about 2 days but this is killing me....The past couple of days I have found it really hard to turn over in bed, because my neck and shoulders and so stiff, so I get really sharp pains trying to get up and about, or just to roll. I have had the heat pack on it, constantly....I booked a massage tomorrow, but the remedial person is not in so hopefully they can just get into the spot nice and firm because it is killing me....

The year nines had an exam today. It was a seen essay and this means that they have had access to the question for a week.  The work that has been turned in is pretty appalling....it makes me feel bad because I am the one who taught it.... One kid, said straight away, "What do you do when you have finished?" It had not even been 30 secs since I had said to start the essay. I said to him that " he needed to write something."  He replied "not my fault I didn't learn anything in class."  Momentarily i felt so bad...i thought it must be me....then i asked him "Who is responsible for your own learning?"  Needless to say he did not want to respond that he was responsible and had a week to research.  They were even allowed to bring in four source document quotes. He could have had that and had a go at least, but nothing!!!  I'm feeling very frustrated....

Anyways back to my work.... My lecturer is visiting me on Friday so I want to prepare a good class for her (not that I dont ever plan good classes).
