Early Christmas Presents!

 Early Christmas Presents!

Today I received some wonderful Santa sacks filled with joyous marking as an early Christmas present. I was pleased to note that I have been assigned 1337 scripts to mark - pretty awesome that I only get the best of the best :)

OK, that would probably work better if I'd been assigned l337 scripts to mark. And now that I think about it, having to decode essays written entirely in leet-speak would possibly take longer than merely deciphering bad spelling.

Whatever the case, I am overjoyed that my life shan't be boring for the last couple of weeks of school - I can add marking to prizegiving and designing a media studies course to my plate.

For even greater enjoyment levels, my eyelid has thrown a wobbly again. The excised flap of skin that was mildly irritating as it rubbed against my eyeball has grown back. Hooray!

Luckily I insisted on a follow up appointment at the eye specialist to make sure all was going well, so I don't have to shell out for a pointless doctor's appointment to get a referral that would take at least 3 weeks to be followed up. Instead I have a ready-made appointment in 2 week's time. More surgery awaits!

I've been up since 6:30am this morning - not an early time in itself, but half an hour earlier than I usually get up. The honda has a wonky muffler and needs something like $250 worth of repairs/replacements. Presumable it will be a quiter beasty after today. I also spent an hour before work today putting together And then there were none... DVDs. I like finishing projects, so it was a very satisfying process. I had to make multiple copies of thd DVD (6), redo the label image to get it aligned properly, print off and apply labels (with help from Debbie) and get the covers trimmed and inserted. The final product looks pretty good, and contains about 15 music videos made with Picture Package. Quite a groovy little memento.

Now I shall go and fill in my attestation form, which allows me to be pay-raised (after an observed lesson tomorrow and a meeting and goal setting and all that good stuff). I should have sorted it out last term, but it's been a busy year, and I am talented at flying under the radar and putting off whatever can be left till the last minute.

Well, mildly talented. I'm working on being more action-focussed and speedy-result-delivering. It's not going too badly, all things considered.
