Life happening

The lesson on Tuesday was called "very good", but by a teacher who is really used to really bad internees, so I am not sure if it really was all that good or if it was only good in contrast. Hm. I felt I did not really reach the students, but she said otherwise. Hmm. More on Tuesday.

Probably due to lack of sleep I've been ill or on the verge of being ill all the time last week, I hope that trend doesn't continue, I feel out of touch with reality and wrapped in cotton wool enough as it is, and I really, really do not have the time to be ill. Most of the time, I am tired and worn, anyway, and I really do not need a cold on top of that. I have already started becoming snappy. I hope that will change once I have finished some of the work piles ahead of me.

I finished Wicked a few days ago and it became one of my favourite novels ever instantly. As predicted, the end turned me into a depressive wretch for the entire evening, but it was well worth it, it is such a beautiful tragedy.
Somehow I wish I could see the musical, but at the same time, I am not sure what to expect, and the parts of it which I've heard do not strike me as particularly must-see-ish, but maybe it was just the quality of the recording or something. Still, it's probably fun watching it.

I'm also not sure about reading the sequel, because... I don't know. The only thing that made the world interesting was Elphaba, and I can't really imagine Liir being all that interesting all by himself, let alone the world itself. For now, I'm reading Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister although I shouldn't because of the two term-papers, and I like it a lot so far. Not much going on here. My family's still tidying things away into the redecorated rooms, but there's a lot standing about, still.

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Gregory Maguire. Maguire has such wonderful characters, and he describes them in such a wonderful way.

Hush, girl, hush!!!
You are not a complete teacher yet, so...
1) Take a compliment as it is and don't dissect it until it looks like your opinion.
2)You have done really good baby-steps. Sooner (or later) you'll do real steps.

And if you keep on being that critical towards yourself although you were told you were good and then don't accept that view because it is not your own and made by someone you think of as no good judge...

....then I'm gonna slay you with the hunting knife Crocky bought a few days ago! ;p


Have a good day and sunbath in your own light, girl!

Thanks. :) I tried to sunbath, but sunbathing by the light of a candle is - ok, will shut up.

Still, even though I would have liked to accept the compliment, I thought it would be best to think critically about what she said, because she is used to internees who did not read the books they wanted to teach, and who did not plan their lessons at all, and it may well be that she compares me to them, sooo... well. "Very good" compared to someone who did not read the book they were teaching and who did not plan their lesson is not hard. :D
