busyBackson
It was in Benjamin Hoff's book about Tao that I read about busy backson's, people who were always running around saying I'm busy but i'll be back soon. I've been busy I guess but know it's time to get back to posting, but this time maybe a little text.
I find myself loggin on to post but more often as not clicking on next blog and just scrolling through other peoples lives and other peoples lives seem so interesting. I guess it's time to share....
Ok here goes,
Well in total a bit of a non plus week, my students have there first module exam on tuesday 10th. The nerves are starting to kick in, mostly it's about them and revision, they don't seem to worry about it as much as perhaps I feel I did when I was at school but then I try and remeber it was 20 years ago, we didn't get a resit in june and my teachers and lecturers didn't have to compete with :-
my need to text the person i was speaking to before i came into the lesson.
my need to have at least one earphone in from my I-pod so that my brain can function.
my need to keep my rediculously fashionable 'two person inflatable dingy' of a jacket on in case the fashion police do a flash raid on the college.
Neither did they have to compete with :-
'Can I borrow a Pen?'
'Can I borrow some paper?'
'Can I borrow a text book?'
Apparently the fashion police have also outlawed carrying any form of bag satchell or ruck sack. I wish they'd issue a memo so I'd known.
It makes me smile though, they're all trendy adult and grown up and yet we spent the afternoon revising materials & components by playing children's games.
16-18 years old on the outside 6-8 on the inside.

Oddly reassuring that kids are the same in different country - I'm with you on the "Can I borrow ____?" Get it at least 5 times a day. And the iPods... don't get me started. Thanks for the comment on my blog!

what with iPods, phones Playstations MP3 players plugged in and body and face piercings + clothes with lots of metal - it's like teaching the borg from startrek.
