Normally an engaged mind is a happy mind, yet I cannot shake this gloomy mood that has descended upon me the past few days.
How annoying!
Still DnD tonight so something to keep me entertained, who knows maybe I'll even return to Confessions. I think I should really my DM is hard working & I feel like I give very little in return these days.

Tell me why... I don't like Mondays...
Today was awful. These overly dramatic lyrics sum it all up.
I can't pretend this time
I need a friend to find my broken mind
Before it falls to pieces
That is all.

I'm not very good at this...
Well as expected I have not been keeping up with my blogging - for some unknown reason a bizarre feeling has come over me. Recently I have been thinking that random strangers on the internet might not want to actually hear my thoughts & humble opinions meaning I have not been keeping this blog up to date. Then I realised no one but my friends probably read this anyway so I figured why be so shy? I'm not normally.
So a brand new year & hopefully good new things to boot! I have quit both my jobs & am currently doing my PGCE in the vague hope of becoming a teacher. I hear you cry "Why?!" & "Don't do it!" But alas dear readers I must. I have come to realise that whilst I loved my one job it didn't pay the bills & was sadly not going to get me anywhere. I could no longer sell soap, play with bubbles & glitter hoping that I would some how get enought money to afford postgrad. So I had to get a job.
Well... Sorta... This PGCE gig is unpaid (although I do get a nice student loan) & ALOT of bloody work but it is s'prisingly rather good fun! I had alot of doubts about the whole thing truth be told as I had no idea what to expect. One thing is certain - I FUCKING HATE PAPERWORK! I have never seen so much of the bloody stuff! Although I am assured that when I'm actually teaching there is slightly less of the stuff. Emphasis on slightly.
Being in the classroom is a good wheeze most of the time. Sure, I'm using pretty much nothing from my degree but I am enjoying interacting with young people. Something I was certain I would find hard. Some of the little dears are unplesant but eh, I've had a job in the service industry since I was 14 which it would seem has made me rather resilient.
The only downside to this teaching malarky is possibly having to move. I love dear sweet Exeter but evidentally jobs for my specialism do not exist in Devon. If only I had done something more useful, like maths... Hmm... Maybe not.
Well sweet readers I draw to a close on my first blog post of 2013. Here's hoping I keep it up this year!
Allow me to be sombre for a moment...
To the dearly departed Francis DaCruz & Esther Johnson who left this world in 2012, you are both missed by those you left behind. And to young Max Rickard whom I never met but left us two nights ago. If there is such a thing as an afterlife may your souls find peace until you can be reunited with those who love you.
