Using the holidays wisely

And I'm on holidays again! Well, it's my first holiday as a teacher really. Term 1 just ended last week, and I have a 2 week Easter break! (Yay for private schools! :p State schools only get 1 week for Easter, usually.) A necessary break, it is, though. Term 1 was rather tiring. I've been told that term 1 is often the busiest term in the year, for teachers. Especially so at Northside, where almost all the school camps fall in term 1. And the first term is even crazier for brand new teachers, apparently. I've definitely had my ups and downs, but so far absolutely no regrets about doing teaching. It's never boring!

There's lots on my plate this holidays (which is already 1/4 over, really). This is roughly what I plan to do, although I'm aware that I'll probably won't finish all of it:

On a personal level

• Reflect and pray and read the bible
• Spend good time with Claire
  

With regards to church

• Work with my minister on planning the Good Friday and Easter Sunday services
• Letterbox drops in The Gap, advertising the above services
• Start teaching the drums to a kid in church
  
• Lifegroup social!
  

School work....

• Write unit plans for term 2 (not a small job!)
• Finish tabulating results and writing reports for term 1

Day-to-day stuff

• Unpack the many boxes that still litter my house
• Start exercising!

Leisure! (aka computer games)

• Finish Lego Starwars II
• Begin and complete Red Alert 3: Uprising
• Begin Warcraft III (kinda old game, but still good! I started it in 2002 when it first came out but didn't get far.)
• Blog more
  

I'm going pretty good so far... here is proof :p


Not bad huh. The stud sprouting fountain made of gold studs is what you get when you complete the game. Plus a big sense of satisfaction.

Stay tuned.
