Recentrly I've been spending quite a bit of time in the tes staffroom, where there are some very interesting conversations going on. My first stop is usually the prospective teachers forum but I've also been reading a lot on the student teachers, NQTs and primary sections so I can get a good rounded view on things.

Occasionally I have a "do i really want to do this?" moment, which I think is quite normal, but when I read these forums I realise that although many of the teachers talk about long hours and stress, I really would rather be doing that than what I do now. I want to be on my feet, doing things, making a difference....

And no, I'm still waiting on my reference so my form can be sent off... *sends vibes across to personal tutor @ uni*....!
