Cosy spot

Still feeling under the weather, although I stirred myself out of bed and took to doing some marking. Going back to school tomorrow as I have a Parents ' meeting at 4.30pm. Hope I don't spread too many germs around!

Next week I travel with a colleague and 11 pupils to our partner school in Virginia Beach, USA. We have a lot of prep to do, as the girls will be making presentations in different subject classes. I am excited and nervous in equal measure, probably a bit on the stressed side at the moment as I need to leave resources for teaching all my classes for a week!

I was meant to be in London for 4 days from Thursday with some A level Biology students, but begged off as I felt I would be missing too much school. Another colleague has kindly agreed to take my place.

I can't believe things are so hectic so early in the term! I definitely don't have time to be ill....
