So how was your day?

Mine went something like this:

5.30am First alarm goes off. This is the pre-alarm alarm.
6.00am This is the time I should get up and but knowing full well I won’t I set another alarm for…
6.15am This is the time I need to get up at.
6.30am The ‘seriously Tina GET UP’ alarm.
6.53am The time I actually got up at this morning. Normally the time I am walking out to the bus. Swear words.
7.05am I'm ready to leave. I have 'getting ready in a rush' down. Things that help me on my way are showering and packing my bag the night before and not doing make up in the morning. I cancelled breakfast out of my morning routine about 12 years ago.
7.15am I saw the bus I need to get on its way so I sped up my walking.
7.45am I arrived in my classroom, switch on my computer, check my emails, and get ready for assembly.
8.25am I head down to assembly which was also a Chapel service. I checked my form’s uniforms. All perfect as usual, they know I hate a unbuttoned top button and bad knot.
8.30am Assembly starts with announcements.
8.45am Chapel service begins. We sang ‘The Wondrous Cross’ and watched an...interesting presentation from an outside group.
9.13am The chaplain got up to speak.
9.42am The chaplain finished his sermon and begins the prayer.
9.53am Prayer is over. I can take my class upstairs to have a short tutor time. I run through more announcements and admin.
9.58am The class left and I am back to my work.
10.00am I went downstairs to hand in money and forms for various things from my class and pick up my printing.
10.15am Back upstairs to do some marking.
11.10am One of my students comes in to re-arrange a make up class. This left me free to carry on with marking.
11.53am My first class of the day started arriving in the room but I needed to give back the work I just marked, so I left my room to find them.
12.01pm Back in (just about) time to start class. They were doing a test, happy days.
12.50pm Final people leave the class and it’s lunchtime for me.
12.55pm Downstairs at the canteen I decided which Asian stodge I am going to have. School dinners are no better around the world. In fact they are worse because there’s an abundance of seafood.
1.20pm Conversation and debate about this morning’s chapel service began (more tomorrow…maybe)
1.45pm I leave the staff room to go back to my room, stopping at the canteen to buy jelly beans.
1.54pm Jelly beans all eaten.
1.55pm I go off in search of my form class to sort out yet more administration.
2.05pm Back in my classroom again, I start writing emails and information about Monday’s workshops.
2.55pm My next class arrive in my room. Another test. Yay!
3.50pm The last few hand in their papers. The make up student arrives to go through exam questions.
3.55pm Realise a small cock up in the plans for Monday. A partition wall cannot be taken down to have one big room as it it made of brick.
5.00pm We finish up.
5.05pm I go back down to admin to sort out the cock up about Monday and organise IT support. 5.45pm Back in my classroom I updated the information for teachers and students for Monday which I had done earlier.
6.30pm Answer test questions myself so I can take home papers to mark.
7.10pm Start to tidy my desk, ready to go home for a long weekend.
7.18pm Stop at the supermarket to get grapes, but end up with Ben and Jerry’s and frozen pizza (on offer!)
7.42pm Walking to the bus stop I see a bus I can get so I run the last 50m.
8.05pm Change buses.
8.20pm Arrive home just in time to see who got booted out of American Idol.
8.25pm Pizza in oven, test out Ben and Jerry’s/
8.45pm Channel flick between Sky News and My Name is Earl.
9.00pm Watch 30 Rock
9.30pm More channel flicking and I turn on my computer.
9.33pm Doss some more on tinternet.
10.25pm Start writing this listening to yappy dog.
10.59pm Post this online, still listening to yappy dog.

All go I tell you. Bed time now. Thankfully I will not be setting any alarms for tomorrow.
