Moving Like Clockwork

It is only the 3rd day of school and I can both remember and recognise the names of at least 3/4 of my form class! It's either I have a really good memory or the boys are that naughty. I have yet to get into the groove of things as it's been quite a while since I've taught Math. Right now it's all about routine and setting systems - something I'm absolutely horrible at, albeit them being essentially critical. I love free form and a sense of spontaneity in my classroom - which trust me, ain't always a pleasant affair.

Sigh. Only the 3rd day and I have 3 projects to work on. One's immediate while the other two are due in April. I do like to be kept busy, but I don't want to have to keep my nose above the water!

On a more pleasant note, Athena is getting bigger and a tad more aggressive. Her name really suits her, you know. Her idea of manja is nibbling at my fingers whenever I scratch her belly. Now that school has started, I see less of her. I don't think she's taking it too well though. Mum says Athena's sullen the whole day, not even mewing when she walks by her but when I enter the house and call out for her, she's desperately clawing her way out of her abode and mewing at the top of her lungs! Just yesterday, I was lying on the couch watching The Changeling (excellent show, by the way; kept me hooked till the end) and she fell asleep whilst lying on my tummy. I know, I'm growing extremely fond of her.

I have pictures of her, but they're unfortunately back-dated. It was taken when I first took her in. So she'd be no older than a week in the pictures. I'll snap more of her in due time, of course.
