Back to School

Students back at school tomorrow and then the excitement will begin. My new colleagues at Musselburgh Grammar School seem incredibly supportive and I am very grateful for this. I’m on a sharp (slightly overhanging!) learning curve and conscious that I am going to make lots of mistakes (I’ve already made a few when it comes to introducing myself). I have been into school a few times during the holiday to look at the results and get started with sorting out the appeals. Last Wednesday I got lost for 10 minutes (not good for a Geographer!) but I am starting to find my bearings!

Since I have been back from the Alps I’ve been pretty busy working on some interactive whiteboard software and a new book project. I have desperately been trying to clear the backlog of work before the start of term – and I’m just about there. One more weekend should see the whiteboard project complete and after a weekend of researching, typing, reading and writing I am bang up-to-date with my publisher’s deadlines. More on both of these projects soon.

I think it’s going to be an exciting and challenging year with lots of new people and opportunities. Lots of other things to report and blog about, I’ll catch up with some of these ideas over the next few weeks.

Ok…off to pack some boxes. I move house in 10 days.
