The End Of Summer

This is it.
Today is officially, as far as I’m concerned, the end of the summer holidays.
This is the last day I’ll spend in work without the company of teachers and/or children.

To celebrate, it’s a lovely 3-day weekend with the Bank Holiday on Monday and then it starts.
The teachers arrive for an INSET Day on Tuesday before the kids start piling in on Wednesday and Thursday and the school year begins once more.

It’s been an OK summer. I’ve had better.
I’ve got as many of the things I needed to do done and there isn’t much left over I can’t battle through over the first few days of terms. The important things are there, though, including 198(-ish) new Year 7 children.
I’m finding myself being much more organised. Lists, files, boxes. Everything like that has made the summer slightly easier and I’m going to build up this organisation so everything runs smoothly.

It seems strange having an office to myself again. My colleague has “defected” to the teaching side and so I have the place to myself. A lot more room, I have to say and, as mentioned earlier, I’m able to organise my time and my space so I work more efficiently.

The cats need feeding now. They’re meowing incessantly at me.
Here’s to a good last day and a good school year to come.
