Oh, it sounds just like subbing in teaching (only without all teh children). I know how you feel - it's a bit of the fear of the unknown, isn't it - you know it'll be grand, but you wish you didn't have to ask where the bathroom was :H

Hiya Army. Just popped in to say goodnight. I'm knackered - see you on the morrow.

I know. Standing in front of a class of 28 7 year olds, trying to find a marker for the board while mayhem breaks out is the form it often takes in school!! And all that small talk in the staff room...I often wish I could bring a book with me, and not talk to anyone. And even walking in in the morning, sometimes my knees are knocking. So think of me in the morning, and be thankful at least you're not dealing with 26 five year olds who don't like you simply because you're not their usual teacher, and who proceed to tell you this throughout the day

But it is a nice opportunity to meet people, to be fair. And it has toughened me up a bit too. And at least it's not boring!

I enjoyed Star Wars. I think. But I'm more of a Pride and Prejudice type of girl. Give me Mr. Darcey over Luke anyday!:H I prefer green grass and horses to desert and spaceships. And robots. But it was amusing!:H
Nighters Army:l zzzzz I'm dead tired.
