Aidan & Karen’s Travels

It’s 7.10 in the morning and it is pouring down with rain and I am inside my classroom - which is a prefab - trying to plough my way through year 11 creative writing. I thought we had come over here for the good life! Actually bar the weather and the marking things are going really well. I am ounting down the days until my holidays - not having a half term has been a nightmare. Not that I am getting any sympathy from KAren (or probably anyone else who is reading this and isn’t a teacher).

I am planning to head off to the Coromandel with a buddy of mine from school so that should be good - I love a good road trip and recently it has felt that we have become workers rather than tourists so it is time to even the balance. Other than that it has been pretty quiet on the Auckland front.

KAren and I are of to see The Shins in August which I am really looking forward to. I am tempted to get tickets to see Burt Bacharach who is playing in the next few weeks but I’m not sure whether he weill be worth the (expensive) price of the ticket. Bob Dylan is coming as well but again the price is ridiculous - apparently it costs loads to get them out here so they bump up the ticket prices, sounds like they are trampelling on the small man again.

Oh well, best get back to prep for the day - year 10s first thing (woohoo!) and then the rest…I’ll just keep telling myself it is the last week, it is the last week, it is the last week!
