Worst teaching session ever yesterday... student refused to leave the room, refused to sit down, refused to work, refused to be quiet. Spoke to her manager and if she looses it apparently she can't be very rational. She is now refusing to come to my class (some part of me is happy with this lol) although I suspect she will get down off her high horse soon. Apparently I can call for someone to remove a student from my class which I didn't know before, I also know what staff this student doesn't like so if she causes me problems again I will make sure it is someone she doesn't like who is removing her! She is so far behind with her work but as she doesn't need my module to graduate she seems to think she can just cause a distraction for everyone else. I have found out there is another lesson she is like this (another one she doesn't need to graduate). But honestly I don't think I will have her in the class when we are doing group work, it is not fair on everyone else.
It actually was good developmentally wise for me though as it didn't make me cry!! Usually I would respond to a situation like that by crying and although I did have tears in my eyes I didn't let myself go - I am referring to after the situation... not blubbing in class in front of the students
Other than that I have been working like crazy at work. I didn't have a break yesterday and today I only managed lunch at 3pm. I don't think I will have long left with them so I am trying to fit in as many hours as I can before I go. The new manager starts Monday and someone else will be back from bereavement leave so I can't imagine that I will be needed after next week.
I am still trying to read Emma where possible but I am so tired on an evening that I am just falling straight asleep. I was also very naughty and kinda started Beatrix Potter's biographgy the other day so I now have 5 books on the go!! I am being bad and buying lots of books again without getting rid of any old ones.
My brain is having a spaced out on tramadol moment so I now can't remember any development points I may have done the last few days... aprart from I have established that we don't have the money to have the cold shower replaced with a nice warm electric shower as it will cost over £500 which is just stupid
