Back at school, and back into routine. I am mainly working with the older classes these days which is the exact opposite of my teaching experience but I’ve been enjoying it. Some of the things I have to teach though are last minute google searches for me as I have no idea on some of the topics they are studying.
Weekends have been busy doing more home improvements which I love. It’s slow but everything is coming together.
