School and Schmoop

I finished my 3 weeks placement at a secondary school in Wells. As awesome as the school was (with freakily well-behaved kids), it totally sucked. There just wasn't anything for me to do. I think I managed to get away from the back of the class in all of 5, maybe 6 lessons. The most interesting hours in the last 2 weeks were the ones spent doing paperwork, or 'resourcing'.
But once I fill in the last page on my form and send it off, I'll get £600 so it wasn't for nothing. And I know I'm probably not fit for teaching now, at least. I can't be certain, since I didn't do any teaching, but I don't think it's really for me. I haven't the patience.

I'm going to Camp Bestival next weekend. I was sad enough to actually make a list of all the things I'll need to take, and there's a lot. It has to fit in one bag so I expect I'll be cutting it down any way.

I'm participating in a sickeningly sweet multi-fandom challenge at the moment. Schmoop Bingo. I can't really write schmoop, but I liked the idea of getting a card and stuff.



See the schmoop! It's multi-fandom so there'll be something for everyone, and you can still request a card if you want to.
God knows what I'll do for most of my prompts. I tried to do one of them already, and it ended up as crazy Greek crack.

I'm kind of trying to write at the moment, but my brother's playing his godawful music super loud through his headphones and I can't concetrate with that kind of noise going on. I might go and punch him now.
