Life is...

taking a somewhat surreal turn at the moment. On the day that London is bombed (again) I'm trying to encourage students to buy tickets to a musical there, which we're selling off becuase the short course we bought the tickets for in the first place has cancelled cos they're worried about being bombed. In Coventry. What self-respecting terrorist would bomb COVENTRY, for heaven's sake??

That, and seven Italian students have just descended en masse, two weeks late for the start of a five week course. Random. Not that we didn't know they were coming, but it's still weird. And it's also taken three teachers so far to fail to figure out what group to put them in.

Went back to see the people at my old job last night, which was fun - my old kids were so happy to see me - even though it's just the novelty value. Weird thing is, one of the teachers was flirting with me - which would be fine (except that he's way creepy) except that he knows I'm gay. What's THAT all about? Mind you, he also said he thought I was just experimenting (as you do) so maybe he thinks I can be converted back. *Shudder*

Other thing is - I have a gorgeou banner someone made me for a story, and I want to post it here - n my info page - but I can't figure out how to do it. HELP!!!!!!!!!! (Yes, I'm computer illiterate in many ways, and yes, it's seriously weird that a computer career planning programme told me one of my ideal jobs is as a systems technician. What the hell??)
