So, back to my reason for writing my own blog. I have spent the past three years at University in York (an AMAZING three years). Here, I have witnessed blogging and its uses and popularity grow, whilst meeting some inspirational people, many of whom blog. Due to a busy university schedule, sporting commitments and various other inexcusable reasons, I have found it difficult to gain regular free time in which I can blog, as well as something focussed that anyone would be remotely interested in reading about!
Hopefully, this is now my chance. I have recently moved into an apartment, accepted my first post as a qualified teacher (NQT) and found some regularity in my days, as ironic as that may seem to anyone else in the teaching profession! This (optimistically) gives me the opportunity to finally write my own blog!
The current concept, is, to write about any significant events or experiences which occur in my life, whilst reaching several goals along the way. At the moment, these are mostly:
- Surviving my first year as a professional and as an NQT - both in and out of school
- Losing weight and getting fitter (a teaching related tale on why, in a post to follow)
- Reading more. I tell the kids to - MUST lead by example!
- Travel to and visit new places…. and surf more when possible
Lastly, and arguably most importantly, seen as you've kindly taken the time to read this:
- Blog more! The aim is, to post at least every sunday. (This means I can blog around Top Gear, and from what I understand in my first 23 years of life, people relax and browse most at this time?!)
I've been informed by my avid blogging housemate, awaywiththefairies-x, that pictures make these things more interesting, so here is a photo of me with my last Uni assignment! I promise they will get better!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, speak soon, Tom.
