The word of the day is Depleted.

So, it has been a few days since my last post. I do apologise. I really want to say horrible things about Fred Nile and the whole Ethics class thing, but I can't be bothered... I managed to stave off full-blown flu, but I still have the fatigue, the sniffles and the misery. Yesterday was a blast, but it was a long day. Here is the itinerary:

05.00 Wake up
06.00 Depart School, drive to Dubbo
07.30 Check-in
08.00 Fly to Sydney
09.00 Land in Sydney, catch a cab
10.30 Arrive Bicentennial Park
11.00 Awards ceremony
13.00 Walk around Olympic Park/Showground
14.00 Rivercat to Circular Quay
15.00 Walk around doing the tourist thing... Opera House, Bridge etc
16.00 Train to Airport
16.30 Check-in
17.00 Fly to Dubbo
18.00 Land in Dubbo, drive back to Mendooran
19.15 Arrive home

So yeah... Long.

I was exhausted this morning, but had to go to school for our Education day open day. I spoke on assembly about our award, we presented it, blah blah, had to stop myself from having a good old cough on stage from my crappy voice lately. Went to a lot of trouble to make my classroom presentable and have a great lesson running while it was "open classrooms" and no one came. One of the kids gave me attitude and refused to work, follow instructions, etc and gave me shit to big note himself in front of his mates, so I got him punished accordingly. And then I was just plain loathsome come home time and now I'm just resoundingly neutral.

Physically depleted.

Emotionally depleted.

Psychologically depleted.

Just plain ol' fucking depleted.
