Until February 21st...

My life now involves around 'Project 1', the Medium Term Plan and extended essay for my PGCE, I have decided to focus on the poem London by William Blake. Could be interesting, I shall keep you informed of my (lack of) progress.

Half term holidays!!

So I arrived back in the UK 7 weeks ago and have barely had time to breathe. The PGCE has taken over my life, I am sleeping, eating, breathing and socialising in relation to teaching English for secondary pupils... however it's now officially half term and I have a few hours to kill, in which I am supposed to be packing, before a head off on a 4 day holiday to Ibiza to meet my lovely friend Sarah, who is out there on a longer holiday with her family. As much as I love being back in the UK and in London, I need a breather and a chilled out few days lounging on a beach on the White Isle is just what the doctor ordered! I will of course be taking my camera and attempting to get some classic artistic tourist shots(?) wherever possible, however the main agenda will be a. A tan, b. much needed relaxation and c. unfortunately a rather large amount of planning. It maybe halfterm, however on Monday my first schools placement begins and I have lessons to prepare for, but more of that later. For now I shall commence my entry back into the blogging world with some beautiful, imaged based entries of what the feck has been going on!

I promise you an update.... soon

So, not only am I back in blighty I have also made a permanent return to London after a week squatting on my friend's sofa. My postgrad started with gusto last week, and is continuing at a rate of knots under mid June 2011 so posts maybe come in mass spurts as opposed to regular updates (I am a bad blogger, for this I am sorry) I have spent the entire weekend moving my entire life in cars and on trains to E2, then proceeded to spend the afternoon trekking across to Kilburn to spend my student grant on Beetroot and Orange chutney, Dill sauce, beetroot cake and some gorgeous red wine, before returning to my little cupboard of a room to attempt some engagement with; the giant pile of suitcases containing clothes sat too close to the door, the mounting pile of papers on the deskchair, the wodge of a reading list and the internet (made much easier thanks to the purchase of Iphone4, however need to fix Mac in order to make the thing work as it is supposed to do). I promise you as soon as I have unearthed some batteries I will publish the last of my Korean photos and a select few of my favourites, Kuala Lumpur photos and the steady growing collection of British photography... I also have some Holga shots of Imjingak waiting to be developed so they may also arrive... but for now I'm off to study, sleep and live the gruelling new life of 'One Blonde Trainee Teacher in East London'...

PGCE Pending

Today I got sent an email asking me to fill in some online forms ahead of my PGCE enrollment on September 9th, they also included my student number, email address, passwords and the details off my first course seminar. I know only have a mere 13 days left in Korea, it's mental, and i'm really excited about heading back to Uni. I have, however, SOOO much to do in the days between arriving back home and heading back to London it's crazy, especially when all i'm going to want to do is recover from the previous 369 days by sleeping in my own bed.
