Parent teacher meetings are upon us again; next Thursday is the official day. However, since no-one who thinks it's possible to meet 30 parents in 2 and a half hours has ever tried it, I've started mine already. 4 down, 2 tomorrow, and it looks like I'll only have 15 on the day, so may get out before six. *knocks on wood*
Title line partially inspired by the fact that (and this is something only the Irish educated can understand) they (whoever they are!) have decided to re-release Soundings! For those who do not know, Soundings was the book of poetry that I would have done for my Leaving Cert, the interim volume that stayed for 26 years until the year after I did my Leaving. Apparently, second hand versions of it were fetching huge money so they released it again, just in time for Christmas, but I, possessing no willpower, bought it. And spent a lovely evening flicking through it, being 16 again and finding it astonishing how quotes that I learned so long ago come flooding back! *is geeking out* Himself was not so impressed, apparently he doesn't do poetry. *shrugs* It's the nostalgia people!
Looked at this week's episode of Glee, apart from the last five minutes due to having to put Nimoy to bed and SkyBox asshattery. Non spoilery thoughts, one of the season's better eps, liked the songs, and loving the Puck.
