Today was a great example of a bad day. I have been having a nice week too and was probably feeling a bit too pleased with myself (brought it on myself). School has been good so far and last night I went to see ‘Northern Soul’, a photography exhibition at the National Coal mining Museum. It was nice, weather was sunny, had a good walk.
Today was good too – although I was with year three this morning and found them hard work – short attention spans. After school the head and a teacher pulled me in to say a child had fallen on a cocktail stick, it had gone in her wrist and she’d been sent to hospital. Awesome. I gave a million warnings this morning and made sure they were all collected in after the kids had used them to make towers, so one had probably been put in someone’s pocket and voila. I feel terrible and even though I have used them over 100 times with no accidents and wasn’t there when it happened, the implication is it’s all my fault as I brought them into the school. I shall spend some time cutting all the ends off and making them blunt before my next school!
To cheer myself up I went into Wakefield to see ‘Collect’ curated by Victoria Lucas at Westgate Studios. I like her books a lot and thought that if her curation shows the same sensibilities it would be a very good show. Looked on website and called to find out if it was open, but no answer in either place, so I just went. Of course it is only open 9 -1 so there is no chance of me ever getting to see it! Bugger, but I will maybe try and see if they’ll let me in one evening as it would be disappointing to miss it when I’m over in Yorkshire so much. Cue much getting lost and being stuck in traffic afterwards just to add to the mood.
Now I am going to stop moaning and eat something, I may just be hangry (hunger causing anger).
Here’s hoping tomorrow will be a bit more cheerful.
