This weekend was filled with carbs, pure carbs. I find it
hard to vary my diet. Meat is normally fine to get but I keep missing veg out
and opting for Big Reds and Cheez Stikz. Big red looks and tastes so strongly of
red, it’s wrong.
Waking up this morning was pretty awesome. There’s a lovely
view from Mael’s balcony and it is always breezy; a great place for a BBQ and
to watch the sunset.
I only had a 10 minute walk to work so wasn’t sweaty at
all. I worked until the start of school then went down for assembly and
registration. I have the best form in the school so it is a delight to start
the day with them. They are a group of year 10s who have been streamed to do
science so they are super-keen and all want to be doctors, dentists and
pharmacists. An awesome change from having a few psycho year 7s as a tutor
group last year.
I taught two members of my department about how we used to do
break in Region 1, Guyana. Every break we used to get channa (chick peas) and
polourie (chick pea flour deep fried in balls) and cover it in sour (chutney)
and hot pepper sauce. Today, I won so many brownie points with their surprise
at how much pepper sauce I could eat. “You people don’t normally like things
hot, right?”
They were probably just appreciating the slight reduction in
my sweat-rate since that first week.
Year 11 chemistry had a test today. We haven’t quite
finished marking it but I can’t wait to see the results. It is just shocking
the amount of effort and intervention I had to put in last year to feel similarly
confident about my classes.
I have been sat watching the basketball court until the sun
set tonight. Living the dream!
