Well, end of week 9 - just one more week to go to the term break - and although a week doesn't seem long enough, I think most people are going to enjoy a little downtime. Term 3 always seems the busiest somehow.
Senior classes are battling the last assignments with deadlines looming everywhere and teachers are pouring in just as much effort, if not more, to help them get through, and everyone is getting just a little frazzled and frayed around the edges.
Maybe we should start off term 4 with a Mad Hatters Day? This is actually a recognised day to celebrate, believe it or not - which was started by a bunch of computer technicians who had nothing better to do. The benefits of this day of silliness were immediately seen - not only because they caused less damage than if they had been doing their jobs, but also because of the side effects of less stress and tension if only for a day. Sometimes being a little silly just helps to smooth out the ripples. Mad Hatters Day is usually celebrated on October 6th, which is about when we return to school.
Silly hats, riddles and cupcakes could be the order of the day, maybe with a prize for the weirdest hat or best unanswered riddle? Or maybe some Minute to Win It games and competitions? It could be good for all our sanity, as I have been noticing a lot of ruffled feathers everywhere. (Even mine have been fluffed up every now and then, and we all know what a sweet person I am!!)
Anyway, just my two cents thought for the day and more 'Special' days to come next post.
Have a great weekend - and just think, last week of term starts on Monday - we can do this!
Nearly there!! I'm ready to go mad and happy to wear a hat while doing so :)
