Maths, Latin and damn elections!

Another late morning, so another half-day wasted. I'm going to have to set the alarm I think, and get up regardless of how much sleep I have had. It doesn't help when F feeds all night long. I reckon if I get up early, I'll end up going to bed early, and we should get back into some sort of routine.

We only really managed to get Maths done today, though that went really well, and we finished the whole unit. They grasped Venn diagrams straight away, and had a laugh doing it too! Tomorrow is the test (scary!!), and I reckon they'll all do really well. I'm going to get them to do 30 minutes reading from their set books this evening, even though technically the 'term' doesn't start till Monday. We have lost a lot of time over the last couple of months and I don't want to spring a full timetable on them on Monday! I still haven't done anything about the music study or Plutarch, but I'm sure I'll get that sorted over the weekend.

I have been fruitlessly searching for a cheap (or even free!) Latin curriculum. There are some available, but are drier than burnt toast, and can't even hold my attention, let alone the kids! I did find one, Lively Latin, that looks perfect, but it is slightly out of my budget right now. It's a bargain at approx £30, but as I haven't been able to access any money from my bank for 3 weeks now due to them stopping my overdraft, I just can't afford it.

On an O U S A note, the election is now in full swing (well as full as it can get!). My hustings questions came through last night, and not one is specific to the remit of Deputy President. Does this mean that no-one submitted questions for me or that they were all too full of abuse to be allowed? Either way I'm worried!
