Pwnt by life.

lishesquexLife. Life has been pwning me with swift kicks up the arse in rapid succession. My job started last week and I've had almost no time to myself. Very exhausted. Then I had a car accident on the way home from work on Friday. It was scary, emotionally draining and left me with a sore neck from the whiplash. I had to spend half the weekend organising insurance and car fixing (goodbye first paycheck). And THEN, our house had a weird, random blackout last night which somehow killed my modem and so I have no ADSL for the foreseeable future until Telstra sends me another one. So. Much. Fail.
On the plus side, in an attempt to escape from it all, I renewed my WoW account. Haven't had a chance to play yet, and I doubt I'll have much time next week, but just knowing it's there if I need it is very soothing. Like drugs.
I called Julia on Friday night after my accident and we had a good talk. I've missed talking to her. We chatted about various types of emotional stormclouds, and FMLs and the number of LJ entry tags for "Julia", which after this entry, will be 70. That makes her #1 in entry tags, along with "angst" (ignoring memes and quizzes).
Work? Work is exhausting, but okay. My colleagues are all very helpful and nice. A little chatty though. Must be something about English teachers. One of my Year 8 classes is going wonderfully. The other is possibly the loudest, noisiest, most ADHD-afflicted class I've ever encountered. I'm looking forward to doing some creative stuff with my movie subject elective - first up is movie posters and screenwriting. My Year 10 English class has turned out to be the hardest one to teach, mainly because I have an extra guest sitting in: the Year 10 coordinator. He's technically there for the two hearing-impaired boys in my class, but I can't help but feel like he's WATCHING MY EVERY MOVE. o.o It wouldn't be bad if he were just a teaching aide, but dude, he's the Year 10 coordinator! Anyway. Very stressful.
I should stop procrastinating and go plan tomorrow's lessons now...
