Another year of school is almost here

Well there is only a couple of weeks left now of holidays. I feel like I still need a month to get everything I’d planned to do these holidays actually done.

Battled with contact for the best part of yesterday. Princess Zoo will probably be scarred for life (like her best friend) because her mother does a crap job! For the record foil-lined contact is ridiculous, holds every crease it blinks at and will never ever, ever be bubble & crease free on a book. Bad decision not to let Princess Zoo decorate white paper covers then clear contact like last year. In hind site this was a much better way.

Uniforms & pencil labelling today. So far I think we’re up to about $800 to go back to school and that was only having to buy half the uniforms! Gets worse every year. All for the good of their education.

Got my job interview for Friday 25th Jan. Excellent interview panel. Comprises my 2 PhD supervisors, my best friend from undergrade, one of our collaborating researchers (who I have published a paper with) and the fifth is the head of the lab next door to my old one and whom has taught me since I was in 1st year! Pretty spec huh? Most of these people have known me on a teaching, working and social level for a minimum of 13 years and most up to 15 years!!!!!!!!! Doesn’t mean that I’ll get it though. 30 applicants (3 in house) for only 2 positions but I’ve got a good crack at it.

Still raining, wish more would go in the dams instead of soaking just us.

Can’t believe 2 weeks into the new year already.
