Just try new things. Don't be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar.
1 Week one at Iona College is in the books
 |
| The new kids on the block head off to an official welcome in the gym (I'm way at the back, out of shot, after the parents of the new girls with the other 8 new staff members) |
An exhausting but rewarding week - learning new names, planning courses, figuring out where to go and what to do. All of that can tax the brain after a six-week break.
2 Reading: Truman
 |
| Truman announcing the Japanese surrender in the Oval Office. |
I'm up to page 467 (of 1,000), nearly halfway. World War 2 has just ended with the surrender of Japan (after the second atomic bomb obliterated Nagasaki).
3 Listening: WTWMC - Fresh finds
We have 60 songs at this stage.
4 Watching: The Brokenwood Mysteries
We've continued to enjoy this gentle way to finish each day, although we need to watch each episode over 2 nights. We're up to season 2 now.
5 Listening: The Frames - Longitude
This has been on high rotate at Maple Grove for the week. Basically, because I put it on and do other things and so miss a lot of it each time.
Overtime: Rosa Parks
Knowing what must be done does away with fear.
1 Induction Day at Iona College
More about this on Baggy Trousers.
2 Watching: The Brokenwood Mysteries
Watching an episode every couple of days via Netflix, rather than bingeing. The soundtrack is very cool and the stories are at a gentle pace.
3 Listening: The Clash - London Calling
4 Reading: The White Album and Truman
I was sidetracked by the latest Mojo magazine this week, but I'm back into reading these two again.
5 Listening: WTWMC - Fresh finds
Now with 45 entries.
Overtime: Connie Chung
You can't juggle it all 100%. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to do everything.
