A strange week, no one has really made an effort to persuade me to stay in my teaching post, which only confirms that I'm making the right decision to leave. I've been trying hard not to over work myself but I inherited a class when I started that wasn't up to date in regards to paperwork and I found it very stressful, so for my own peace of mind I want to make sure it's all in place. it's also KHDA inspection next week, think Ofsted, so there is still a lot of pressure, then it's National day and a 3 day week, then 2 full weeks till the end of term. I've left work on time every day this week, been swimming and stopped off at the garden centre and a mall for coffee. I put of thoughts of work from my mind, but I still have to do next week's lesson plans and at 4.30pm on a Saturday, with work in the morning I'm not getting much done, having spent today wandering around the Mall of Emirates.

Some fantastic pictures this week. Love the photo of Bob the Dog. The canal looks very impressive! Glad to hear you're leaving work on time at the moment.
ReplyDeletesadly its government inspection next week, so working late again every day this week
DeleteQuite right about leaving work on time, if you have handed in your notice no real pressure to keep on top of it all.
ReplyDeleteThe water canal looks amazing at night.
Bob looks so sorrowful - has he been a bad boy?
no Bob was just pestering for more food
DeleteSounds like you did the right thing handing in your notice. If your hard work over the last year isn't appreciated, there seems little point in putting yourself through all the stress. The water canal looks very impressive.
ReplyDeleteyep, i feel so much better
DeleteWow, you start off for work at 5.30. Bet you're pleased to be leaving on time. That brunch looks delicious
