I'm a tiny bit tired. I always am on Wednesday afternoon. I don't know how other people deal when they teach late night and then morning, but it leaves me fatigued. I did some shopping on the way home, and I gave my students a tough time and I think I might take an hour off. I was going to do that an hour ago, but emails intervened and had to be dealt with.

Word of the day was 'netsuke.' We spent a lot of time writing about football and the wonderfulness of Hawthorn as a team and why St Kilda only wins on High Holy Days and we proofread the booklet for Mental Health Week and I edited three pieces out of it (wearing my Evil Teacher hat, of course). The excursion this term will be to Old Parliament House, where I have warned my class we will be unashamedly political. We are partying next week (Moon Festival, Rosh Hashanah, a student's birthday - what else could we do?) and I have sorted out much stuff that needed sorting out. If this sounds a bit frenzied, it's because I arrived in Tuggeranong to find coffee and chai waiting for me, so I drank both. Lots of caffeine!

The rest of the day will be busy, I think. I just have to wake up enough...

I have a big box to collect at the post office, but that must wait until tomorrow, for more carrying today I cannot do. I have already bought vegies to cook for Sunday, though, and milk and other necessities. Also, I have Chanukah presents. I do not know why I bought Chanukah presents the week before Rosh Hashanah, but I did. Such is my life.
