Bebo!

Hi everyone. I can't believe how many people I know from Hamilt-ron have Bebo thingees! Matt, Hannah, Genevra, Caleb, Margaret, Renate... I won't put links to them all because I don't know if they want me to. Why not get a Google account and leave comments on my blog, hrm? It's dumb how you have to have a Bebo account to be able to leave messages... on my blog you don't! So there!

Aahh, yes... the swiss ball situation was alarmingly funny.

So everyone is wedding planning at the moment. Well obviously not everyone. Steven & Margaret, Sam & Jane, Renate & Tim, Claire & Adrian, Chris & Sarah... and obviously many more around the world that we don't know! It's fun. Or is it? Adrian and I aren't in stress mode at the mo cos we still have quite a while to go.

We are staying in Palmerston North on Saturday night with Adrian's dad (who, oddly enough, looks remarkably like the strange cyclist in the above picture...), then I will carry on up to Hamilt-ron for my third and final TE! Yay! I'm going in with a positive attitude because I think I will literally just transform into a sobbing, rocking ball on the ground at the front of the classroom if I don't. Aah, the pleasures of teaching. For those who don't know, I'm off to St John's (Catholic Boys) school in Hamilt-ron for 5 weeks from 21 May to 22 June. Am apparently teaching Y9 and Y11 maths, Y10 social studies and Y12 &13 geography! Eep! The geographers, I'm pretty sure, will know more than me. And by the way, for those who think that NCEA is a 'dumbing down' of NZ school assessment, think again. I had a lot of trouble acheiving an Excellence in a year 11 maths achievement standard on straight lines and parabolas. And I did level 2 maths at uni. (Granted I don't remember much, but still!). So am not looking forward to seeing the complexity of the geography acheivement standards.

Gotta go, I will go help my lovely man make tea and then Dancing with the Stars is on!

PS> Who do people think should win? I was going for Suzanne for ages (her legs are amazing) but now I wonder if I am supporting Greer instead. I think it will either be Suzanne or Brendon who wins though.

Bye :)
