  • Mood: Agony
  • Listening to: For all Lovers - Stanfour
  • Reading: Classtests
  • Watching: The paper before me going redder and redder
  • Playing: *Who's got the most contact clauses?*
  • Eating: Nothing; I'm on a diet
  • Drinking: Schwip Schwap (which should be Schwipp Schwapp)
I just had this really, really disturbing thought: That I can kiss May goodbye until my retirement. O_o I knew that all the other teachers I know are pretty much beside themselves with work just before the summer holidays (and with "just before", I mean starting some eight weeks before the summer holidays), but somehow, so far, I'd always managed to avoid that. Now I know why that is: I'd never been working even close to the full capacity of a teacher. Full capacity is 25 lessons a week (for my school form).

I'm at eighteen now and I'm going *bonkers*. I've just gone through 13 A-level English exam papers (Abitur), 31 Year Seven English classtests (which feature a lot more free text production than UK or US exams so they're hell to mark), I've finished marking nine out of 26 Year Ten final English exams and will have to do the rest on Monday, by which time I really need to start working on the twenty Year Twelve exam papers that have been lying here for a week now; and when those are done, I'm writing two more Latin exams on the same day, one in Year Six and the other in Year Seven.

And it will stay like this every year from now on. :cry:

Why, WHY didn't I take Art as a subject??

*Goes back to mark and weep some more*

Uff. Mach mir Angst :D

Ich studiere Englisch und Geschichte auf Lehramt (Verliererkombi, ich weiß, aber das sind nun mal die zwei Fächer, die mir am Herzen liegen) und ich bin schon irgendwie froh keine zwei Sprachen zu haben!

Ja, wobei die Leutchen in der Oberstufe in Geschichte auch ganz schön viel schreiben können ;)

Ich weiß :D Bis dahin wird aber hoffentlich wenigstens die Hälfte gelernt haben was halbwegs vernünftiges zu schreiben. Oder vielleicht rede ich's mir nur ein... ;)

But...but. You're so crazy good with art. You should be able to live off that! (in a fair world..) =)

I'm still making more money as a teacher - and with less work. ;) But if I have to, I can do well enough with commissions. There have been times in my life when I did, and that worked too.

Aah, it's nice to hear that such talented people can make a living with their art though, but it seems to be a hard work even then. I always enjoy watching your works and getting a glimpse of the story behind.
