So since the development of the list, things have ALREADY seemed to have stalled. With holidays came travel to Perth and the Gold Coast which severely halted goals #2 and #11. However, having 6 GLORIOUS weeks off has meant progress has been made on three of the goals already! Hooray!
Firstly, documenting courses each week... With three days of careful couch positioning, marathons of NCIS, Hellcats, Nurse Jackie and anything else I could really get my hands on, VOILA!!! Courses for Year 11 and 12 Accounting documented for the next 6 months (excepting an accurate time frame of course). Hopefully that will make for a far less manic time this semester as I feel I have bitten off more than I can chew right now with Year 9 Connections, Humanities and PTL. Ahh well, we'll soon find out if I'm tough enough!
This also takes me to another goal - getting published 3 times. Sending an email off to the head of VCTA (Victorian Commercial Teacher's Association), I am due to be published in issue 2 of our journal, Compak. WHEEEEE!!! Just some quiz I made for revision for the kids but hopefully it will help other teachers as well. On the upside, to those who are teachers, get your activities published as they give you all sorts of goodies. VCTA knows the way to my heart and I'm looking forward to a snazzy little gift card being in my pigeonhole at work soon!
Lastly, the first of the dinners was held last night with roaring success. While Mamasita was initially on the cards, the immense success of the "Dinner Club" idea meant they couldn't actually physically fit us all in!!! So with some quick ring arounds, Mexicali Rose was decided upon...

Mexicali Rose, home to the amazing blue chicken enchilada (named after the colour the corn takes) and my favourite (for the fact they get the same reaction - "Oh, they're not hot. Oh wait...."), the Volcano Nachos which Jordan and I braved and survived (with a little lip burning, nose running and sweating thanks to Blair's Ultra Death hot sauce...mmmm).
On a busy Friday night, it was greeted by this motley crew (better pics to come soon...)
A BIIIGGG thanks to all those who could come and hoping to see more faces at the next event! Was great to have people from work meeting some older friends from band, high school, basketball and even primary school and there were laughs all round.
As they would say at Mexicali Rose...
"Gracias por venir. ¡Véale en el acontecimiento siguiente!"
(Thank you for coming. See you at the next event!)
You are too good, on your way to the goals already- go Haynes!!! Def try Movida for the dinner club, too good... :-)
