reality bites. it's my last day of relaxation before the hustle and bustle of school (and the kids) get into my system.
today i met my care group for the first time and as an ice-breaker, asked them to guess my age. it ranged from 29 (not bad, i can still get a below-30 answer) to 44 (gasp!) , though one hit the nail on the jackpot. (i'll be 33 in 2 months.) the smart alec-ky guy who shouted "44" probably did so to unnerve me and watch my reaction. it didn't unfaze me of course. i'm a lot tougher than they think. but i've taken note of his name and will keep an eye on him closely to ensure he toes the line. so if it was his intention to catch my attention, he got it.
as an aside, signs of smugness on the first day you meet your tutor/boss should never be encouraged.
anyway, i am suddenly feeling very old, with nostalgia seeping in my veins...anyone remember the old cartoons of the 80s? thundercats, he-man, she-ra and transformers were my favourites (in that order)...
"Thunder, thunder, thunder THUNDERCATS...!"
"By the power of Grayskull...I have the power!"
"For the honor of Grayskull... I am She-Ra!"
"Transformers...Robots in Disguise"
great stuff. they don't make cartoons like those in the 80s no more.
